Once as a younger incarnation of myself I wondered at the strength of the Sun and how it is vilified in modern times. Now I just discard the naysayers as neer-do-wells. After all, it is the source of all life and time.
Oops! What’s that you say? The source of time? Well of course. Ever heard of a sundial? From whence do you think the concept of day originates. You can’t have the little bits (minutes, seconds hours) unless you have a whole bit to bite up.
So yes, as is the norm, the sun is the wreckage of us all. Never enough time in the day. Running short of time. Time is running out. If I have a minute. Do you have a minute? In a minute. We waited hour by hour. The best of time(s). Work by the hour. Bill by the hour. Bill by the minute.
When the esteemed physicist came up with the general theory of relativity, it would have been impossible to formulate without the sun as the measuring device. Energy is equal to the mass multiplied by a constant squared. That constant is the speed of light. FROM THE SUN. No sun, then no energy. No sun, then no light, then no speed, then no time.
At no time would I like to mention that I like the sun. It’s more than that. I owe my existence to the sun. We all do.
Well I skipped over that one pretty quick. “No sun, then no energy.” No energy, no global warming. No global warming then all is well. Uhhhh drat. Nopers. No sun, then no energy, then no life, then global freezing. Basically we would turn into a directionless frozen rock destined to collide with other space detritus.
No pun intended, but the sun seems like a pretty bright idea so far. Well so what if I did intend that pun?
Yeah give me my chair in the sun with my glass of wine and my Bad. All will be well in the world.
