Isn't it crazy that (virtually) all the life on this planet is dependent on the radiation from a star?

No

Considering if we didn’t have it we wouldn’t be alive to question it 🤷🏻‍♂️

not really we are all elements that coexist and part of us have components deriving from up above

@iQuit

lol ok. I mean i was already familiar with the concept but thanks for sharing it here.
I just find it mind blowing that without radiation coming off a nearby star, none of us would be alive.

@Pikachu
well it's nice that your mind is blown,
but honestly, mine isn't just because I kind of see it all as a web
where so many things are interconnected

the second video is long but interesting and adds to the role of life to this planet
not only the sun's role but how this terrestrial planet has the ability for so much feel free to check it out
@iQuit

That's ok. We're allowed to be impressed by different things. Sorry this became so debatey lol

Virtually?

I’m more concerned with the fact that once that bad boy goes red dwarf we’re dead anyways.
@Rokasu

Not too sure what you're complaining about. You made a fallacious statement, i disputed it and you subsequently conceded the point.
Cards on the table, I don't think you DID call me confused because of the connotation of radiation. I think you were confused about what radiation is because you thought radiation meant bad. But that's neither here nor there so let's move on.

Yeah, like here we are on earth right now and then suddenly the sun is gone. Does the core of the earth go cold?

@Pikachu Uh huh. If you want complete honesty I thought you were some joe schmuck asking the question to begin with. Why wouldn’t I assume your idea of radiation was that of the connotation?

Anyways. Go google it. You’re a smart person, it’s like three google hits away from the answer. You’ll find an offhand website or two but that’s the google facts nowadays anyways.

Now I’m curious why you asked this in the first place.

Correction: why you prodded my half drunken state when the question was rhetorical.

...why would you?
If i talked about a cup of water would you assume that i was talking about a sufficient quantity of water to drown you? Or would you assume i was talking about water?
No? Exactly.
So if i mention the radiation from the sun, why would you assume i mean deadly radiation? ( i suspect you were thinking nuclear).
Seems to me you're just trying to save face. Maybe not, but that's how it looks.

[quote]Anyways. Go google it.[/quote]

You made a claim, i asked you to substantiate that claim. I even tried to throw you a couple bones by suggesting potential mechanisms for [i]your[/i] claim.
Then you [i]asked[/i] for clarification on my question and i acquiesced....you asked for clarification so that you could refuse to answer?

Sorry, this whole interaction just feels like a combative person trying to defend a position they didn't think through before wading in.

Not as crazy as that whole sauce business.
@LyricalOne

lol well there are of course priorities. I think we can all agree that mac sauce is rather more important than the source of energy for this planet

Not really. When you think about it, it's logical life on this planet developed to take advantage of it's main energy source.
@SW-User

Oh i don't mean that it's unbelievable. It's just weird to think about the fact that we're all dependent on radiation and without it we wouldn't exist.
SW-User
It’s sad
SW-User
What if it ceased to exist @Pikachu
@SW-User

at our current level of technology? Almost everything on the planet would die.

But i dont know why that should make it sad that we depend on the sun for life
SW-User
We depend on sun for life and we destroy the life🙁@Pikachu
