Praise ~~the sun~~ capitalism!
the sun is a deadly laser
Oh, now I need to know. If the entirety of the radiation the sun puts out was concentrated in one beam - a laser - and it hit the earth, how much energy would that be?
Even concentrating a few square feet of the duns energy can start fires, so how much more would it be?
Hmmm...this can be saved by math I think using the fact that at twice the distance the energy is reduced 4 times...
How far is it to the fun...ummm..I need to get some figures.
It seems, though, that concentrating a single stars energy would destroy just snout anything.
Warning: rough napkin math
The sun emits as much energy as about a million high-end power plants. Call it about 100 million MW. I'm not taking into account diffusion, both because the earth is very large and because light takes 8 minutes to get here, and I have no idea how to do that math. Assume some fraction of the below.
We have a MW laser. In a 5 second pulse it can destroy missiles mid-flight. If the sun were a deadly laser, it would be as if a million of those were turned on the entire "sunshine" face of the earth at once. This would be beyond catastrophic.
To heat up 1kg of water 1 degree C, you need 4200 joules of energy. 1 MW is approximately 1,000,000 joules. If it hit the Pacific, it would vaporize 1,000,000 kg of water instantly. That's roughly 1,000 cubic meters of ocean water per second.
Obviously, if this hit land, everything on the land is catching on fire, if not outright destroyed. Metal will warp. Forests are burned. People are cooked. The sun is very large, so assume the entire "sunshine" face of the earth is hit, and you have anywhere from tens of millions to billions of people dying near-instantly, depending on time of day, and 1,000 cubic meters of ocean boiled away every second.
I see no reason it couldn't burrow into the earth by vaporizing rock.
I don't believe in the sun.
How can it shine down in everyone, and never shine on me?
Niche. Love it
It’s those damn LIBERALS trying to take away MY RIGHTS. ILL DO WHAT I WANT stares into sun for an incomprehensibly long time
Orbussy
Oh I'm sorry, I thought this was America! Aren't I allowed to stare at the orb? Is this a communist country or somethin? I thought I was in America!
There are many who worship that giant fireball.
you don’t bear the mark of being seen? the little permanent dot that’s there even when you close your eyes?
well then, bunch of pussies.
I can assure you that I have never seen this meme ever before. Never on lemmy or reddit or any other platform. A very original meme.
pffft you believe in the orb in the sky? smh
It burning out your retina if you stare too long isn't exactly the same as being unseen. I can see the fucker; just not for long periods of time in a row. :P
There is? I thought the only thing in the sky was the water that keeps falling.

There is a glowing red-hot disc on the top of your stove that you're not allowed to touch, and nobody questions that?
I questioned it as a child, once.
