Interesting #FactOfTheDay
The human body generates heat at a rate significantly higher than an equal volume of the Sun.
@commandelicious Well to be fair it would never make it to the surface of the sun. It would be absorbed and reemmited countless times before that energy hand a chance to make its way out :)
@freemo It also consumes fuel much more quickly
@nerthos Yea Though the output of heat of any object is always directly proportional to the rate of fuel you use. Everything is 100% efficient at producing heat (well really a little less if you dont count light as heat, but usually light, or at least IR, is considered heat).
And the next thing you know, we're blowing up the sun and the machines have us plugged in with needles in the back of our necks...
@freemo A photon created by fusion in the centre of the sun takes a million years to the surface of the sun!
