That’s right! The sun, the thing that prevents our entire planet from being a frozen rock, which imparts 44 quadrillion watts of energy on the Earth’s surface, is just an elaborate NASA hoax!
Solar simulators are actually really cool, and it’s a shame these goobers are too busy pretending to know everything, in order to feel special, to actually learn what they are.
44,000,000,000,000,000 / 365.25 = 120465434633812.457 per day (including the approximately 1/4 of the leap day).
/ 24 = 120,465,434,633,812.45 per hour.
/ 60 = 83,656,551,829.036 per minute.
/ 60 = 1,394,275,863.81 per second.
As in, nearly 1.4 billion watts per second, which I remind everyone is just the sunlight that manages to hit the earth and is not radiated out into space, into which the target area of the Earth is not even a rounding error, with the staggering majority of it hitting approximately nothing – even accounting for all the other planets, asteroids, comets, and other debris in the solar system.
I’ll go ahead and point out that the entire energy consumption of everyone on Earth for the entire year of 2023 was estimated at 183,230 terawatt-hours, or 183,230,000,000,000,000 wH. It would only take 1.52 hours for the amount of energy from the sun that hits the Earth to equal that. Which begs the question of why, if “NASA” can somehow generate this much power in secret to bamboozle everyone into thinking the sun exists as it self-evidently does to anyone with functioning eyeballs and a brain, we’re not using this magical power source for everything and instead we’re still drilling for oil and gas and other dumb shit, nor what they do with the other 99.982% of the energy…
I see my comment flew over your head, although I appreciate all the info you shared. It’s just that the sun doesn’t deliver Watts per year or per second. The Watt is a unit of power and as such is already energy per time. Watts/year is a nonsense unit, at least in this context.

They actually generate all that energy with…
…Uh…
???
They generate that power using the unlimited abundance of energy generated by the mental gymnastics of people like these

(If someone hasn’t heard of them, here’s one of the biggest ones.)
Wow
They actually generate the sun using solar power. Duh.
Another comment explains that it’s solar powered.
Thoughts and prayers, duh.
If it’s 44 quadrillion Watts per year, how many is it per second?

Actually I miss read my source. I was assuming the figure I was quoted was a watt-year.
