The only REASUN we are alive.

Paying homage
today
to the only
reasun
we are alive :
The reasun : because of some Thing that is far far far away.
So far away that it would take
driving a car non-stop
60 miles per hour for 176 years,
to be able get to reach this object.
If you were taking
a commercial jet
it would take
20 years going 550 miles per hour.
The life giving light & life-span of this object,
this object that is the sole sol reasun we are all alive here,
has been beaming us scotty light, shining, radiating, &
illuminating
non-stop,
for 4,500,000,000 years.
Yet we, as preliterate & preindustrial hominoids,
have only seen the light for 300,000 of all those 4,500,000,000 years,
because we weren’t around before that.
We have only been appreciating this life giving light
for a 1/15,000th of the total sun shining upon the planet time so far.
Now contemplate the distance
this life giving light has traveled to be here,
to drop by,
to visit us, & to give us life.
93,000,000 miles away.
Or, in other words,
when the light leaves the sol furnace
it takes a total of
500 seconds
at the speed of light which is 186,000 miles per hour
for us to receive this life giving light.
That is over 3 times as fast as the 550 miles per hour commercial jet.
Or 300 times faster than if you drove your car 60 miles per hour for 176 years to get here.
That gap in time
in which it takes
this life giving light
to reach our earth
to warm it &
shed light upon it,
equals 400 times
farther the distance
between
the Earth & the moon.
This extra-extra-extraordinary one & only
source of life giving light giving object
is 100 times wider than our planet.
Yet, it is considered by astrnomers as merely a ho hum average star & oh so medium-sized.
There are other stars out there that are actually 100 times larger than the sun.
Think about this hominoid :
a star - 100 times larger than our sun,
has a diameter of 1,515,900 total football fields ( at 120 yds.long each )
That is the the dimension of the so-called large-sized stars out there.
Our medium average sized star sun is merely
12,686,666 football fields
in comparison big.
Our sun is :
100 times wider than
our 8000 mile wide Earth.
What is our sole sol life giving light source made up of ?
Hydrogen & helium & some trace metals
which are all held together by its own gravity.
This is the very very very same gravity source that,
incidentally,
by the way,
by happenstance,
just happens to be
the same source
that holds
our entire
solar system
together.
Now think about the other side
of the life giving light giving equation for one moment.
Think about the day when :
lights out
not gonna give out any more light
or life or gravity anymore.
How much longer
does this life giving orb object
have left to live, shine, emit, & radiate
its beam me up scotty light ??
The sun has roughly 5,000,000,000 years
left in its current life cycle.
However, in about 1,000,000,000 of those years,
it will begin to brighten and heat up,
boiling the Earth's oceans &
making our planet completely uninhabitable
long before the sun actually dies.
The core is hot : 27,000,000 *F.
The surface is much cooler :10,000 *F.
The density in the core is approximately
8 times the density of gold &
13 times the density of lead.
Of all the facts I have learned about our star, the sun -
this is the out there hardest to believe :
It takes 170,000 years for the radiation
in the core to reach
the outer surface of the sun
& then to beam outwards.
That is a really long time.
Then my curious mind
makes the following leap :
if this is factual,
how is it we even know this to be true ?
How did science properly deduce this fact ?
Energy from the core is carried outward by radiation.
This radiation bounces around the radiative zone,
taking about 170,000 years
to get from the core to the top of the convection zone.
Moving outward, in the convection zone, the temperature drops below 3.5 million °F.
Here, large bubbles of hot plasma (a soup of ionized atoms)
move upward toward the photosphere,
which is the layer we think of as the Sun's surface.
A comparison ??
of what was going down
for us 170,000 years ago ??
as humanoids ??
in just one
of those single
core - to - surface - segments ?? radiation times ?
A look at what we were doing in a blink of an eye, 170,000 years ago ??
The major developments 170,000 years ago include:
The Invention of Clothing:
Genetic studies of lice DNA ( which diverged from head lice when humans began covering their bodies ) show that humans started wearing clothes around 170,000 years ago. This crucial technology allowed early Homo sapiens to survive colder climates and migrate successfully out of Africa. Here comes Devil wears Prada right around the corner.
Changing Diets:
Archaeological evidence from sites like Border Cave in South Africa shows that early humans began cooking and eating giant land snails. These massive mollusks provided a rich, easily accessible, and calorie-dense food source.
The gourmet French chefs back then might have called it escargot.
Human Evolution:
Homo sapiens had already emerged in Africa. During this broader period, early humans were refining their control of fire, creating more advanced stone tools, and slowly building the neurological and social foundations that defined modern humans.
Global Climate:
The planet was in the grip of the Penultimate Glacial Period, or Ice Age, meaning the earth was largely cold, dry, and characterized by extensive ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere. Luckily we had clothing & fire.
The Sun sends lots of other energy and small particles toward Earth.
Earth’s protective magnetic field & atmosphere shields us from most of the energy & particles. But sometimes a big stream of these particles reaches Earth & interacts with the gases at the outer edge of our atmosphere. This causes streams of light in the sky, called aurora borealis. Every second, the Sun's core fuses about 600,000,000,000 kilograms of hydrogen into helium & converts 4,000,000,000 kilograms or 8,818,000,000 lbs. of matter into energy. Every single second guys. Of every single day of every single year : all non-stop.
A more detailed timeline of the sun's lifespan includes:
1-2 billion yrs : The sun's brightness will steadily increase. This gradual warming will trigger a runaway greenhouse effect, vaporizing Earth's oceans and ending all surface life.
4.5 - 5 billion yrs: The sun will exhaust the hydrogen fuel in its core & exit its stable middle-age phase.
Red Giant Phase: the Earth will be engulfed by the Sun during the tip of the red-giant branch phase 7.59 billion years from now, 3.8 and 1 million years after Mercury & Venus have respectively suffered the same fate. It will be about 256 times larger than it is today, with a radius of 1.19 au (178 million km; 111 million mi ). The Sun will spend around a billion years in the RGB & lose around one third of its mass
White Dwarf: After shedding its outer layers, the sun will collapse into a dense, dim ember known as a white dwarf, ending its era as an active, shining star.
The next time you’re having a rough day, possibly getting annoyed at the traffic, or even getting upset over the current coo-coo news, stop, & think, for one moment about The Sun.
Go outside,
sit in its warm light,
& just smooth on out.
The sun will Give you
instant karma relaxation.
And when you get back up on
your feet,
You know, those two supports
that are down there below your
knees,
Be sure to thank that
BiG Olde Sun for its’
seeminGLY endless,
Yet there reallY is a time limit,
of life giving light.
You me we be see free Glee agree
yippee
breathe sigh sky high fly
here
only because of sol sun.
Grandpa great grandpa great great grandpa
my dearest Poody cat
trees bees knees all here only from sunshine.
The light in your eyes because of the sun.
Because.
The flowers.
Because.
The colors.
Because.
The gravity.
The sol sole reason.
For all.
Because
of a spherical
ball-shaped
orbital
shining star
way the heck
far out
there.
