    Misleading meme.

    The bigger the star, the faster it burns.

    Fake news. We replaced over 99% of the mass of the entire solar system with LEDs.

      Here’s another fun fact for you: Basically, if you replaced the sun with a big LED, it would last about equally long assuming it outputs the same amount of light power. that’s because the sun gives off most of its power as light power already, because the heat has no other way to escape except through black body radiation

    I think it’s pretty neat that we still retain a bunch of heat in our planet’s core from the time of its formation.

      i read up on that recently and IIRC the heat that comes out of earth’s interior is about 0.03% of the total power we get on the surface of earth, the vast majority is from sunlight.

      and earth’s interior heat is about half-and-half from primordial heat (from when earth was formed) and from decay of primordial radionuclids and their decay products (basically uranium and thorium decaying)

      I got that impression too, but after some hand-based estimation I think the problem is that the Sun is cropped and that throws our senses off.
