Reflection on our Local Star

in Reflections24 days ago (edited)


Happy Sunday to you all, it's a beautiful day and weekend here on hive community.
On my last post on reflection on Earthly matters, I reflected on the behavior of man and it's features, with the tendency of man haven great seismic disturbances and cometary appearances of rising up against his follow creature with any form of harmful object. Also now is the time for man to respond in dissolving all the artificial barriers that separate us.


Today's reflection point out on our local star, I think It's difficult to to avoid thinking of our local star the immnense sphere of nuclear fire that gives us life-as something "alive." Yet everything we are and all we know owes its existence to it. Solar astronomers, however, suspect that something ominous and mysterious may be happening to the Sun. "There are signs that the Earth's weather patterns caused by solar activity are undergoing dramatic changes,"
Long ago, men successfully predicted weather according to the positions of the planets and their effect on our Local star. But never in modern times has there been a rational, objective presentation of the rules governing the ancient study of astrometeorology.

Until now, the "key" to accurate planetary weather forecasting has been a jealously guarded secret of the few who know how to apply it.
The keystone of this system is the Sun; if its fires ever
went out there have be no weather on the Earth because the atmosphere would lie frozen solidly on the bare, dead surface of the planet, which, except for the feeble light from distant stars, would be enveloped in total darkness and the absolute zero of space.
This temperature would bring all molecular activity to a halt and there would be no tides, no oceans, lakes or rivers, forests would die.

Directly or indirectly all energy is derived from the Sun. Primitive cultures use solar energy less directly than do more sophisticated ones. The more advanced and sopbisticated a technological civilization becomes, the more directly it relies on the forces of solar energy.
Energy consumption increases as societies develop from the level of wood-burning tribes to coal burning early-industrial city and states to petroleum-consuming middle-industrial cultures, then to the use of atomnic power reactors by later middle-technological civilizations, and finally direct. conversion of solar energy on an exponential basis.
There has been amazing transition on energy consumption development.

Dyson's from Our Threaded Planetargument is that the advanced nations of the world now manage to eke out a rather high standard of existence compared, say, to the nation-states of the Middle Ages. As an example, in spite of his wealth and power, Napoleon would have envied the luxuries possessed by some of the poorest people now living in rural America or the nation's inner cities.

Now the question remains


Will man eventually utilize the full, supercolossal, mind staggering power of the Sun's total radiation?
