A novel thought. Sadly its continuously slow to reach that level. We are only at like a type 0.7 right now if that due to we can only harness some of out planets energy with true efficiency..
To harness our planets energy efficiently we would inherently have to save our planet utilizing clean and efficient low to zero waste enery production processes...
Not likely. You realize IQ levels are dropping, right? It also doesn't help smart people aren't having nearly as many kids as unintelligent people. The future will not be good.
This is where I wish there was a physicist with a hotline so I could ask if the corona could be hot due to resonance from high energy emissions created by the nuclear fusion inside the sun, similar to a microwave. I'd want to know if the corona is at just the right distance, relatively speaking, for those waves to interact with each other and vibrate the matter in the corona to heat it.
Light has a dual nature, of a particle and a wave, with radiation generating Heat through particle bombardment. Heat is also given off, in the Infrared band, of the spectrum of Light. As there are two natures of Light(Particle/Wave), there are also two natures of Heat, with the Sun. THIS IS MY THEORY of Corona vs the Surface of the Sun.

@@runs_through_the_forest Relativistic effects have been measured the Universe is not just electromagnetic stop with the dead theory there is a reason it hasn't survived.
I am no science guy but maybe the corona is hotter because the molecules in corona are loosely packed as compared to the surface, hence more space for more movement for the molecules. Corona bursts come from within the sun's surface, so that can explain the source of heat and how it retains it in corona form when violently expelled. Heat is the faster movement of molecules afterall. Also by this logic, one may wonder why would the core be hotter then when its denser as compared to the surface, that's because of the nuclear reaction going on. I am open to input.

Scishow can you shed some light on this Aurora question of mine. When I was a kid almost 20 years ago on a summer night I saw the northern lights with my family like I've never seen since. It went for hours and the whole sky looked like as it was being sucked away with a giant vacuum as the lights strobed across the sky from north south east and west to a center dark point in the sky. The band's of light moved really fast, mostly a white light but there was reds, blues, and greens as well. I live near Lacrosse, WI. My dad also called my mom who was visiting family in Green Bay, WI and they went out side and could see the same thing we were. It was truly remarkable, wish smart phones existed back then so I could of filmed it. The lights were so bright they lit up the ground too but also in a strobing kind of light. What I'm wondering is the phenom I witnessed a documented one or did we see something unknown or explained by science yet?
What's really mind blowing is that the "surface" of the sun only seems like a surface because of all of the light being emitted and how large the sun really is. It's actually more like the vacuum of space with slightly fewer more particles that are REALLY hot.
Just watched a video on a moon dust conspiracy and posted this: I saw big foot riding on a flying unicorn chasing a UFO, during an Aurora Borealis and there lies the conundrum. Pun intended. Then this was my next recommended video. I knew “THEY” were watching me. LOL
Grew up in Northern Wisconsin on property surrounded by National forest, so no neighbors, and have seen auroras that are green, violet, red, and a yellowish white.

Here's a follow up question: how in the world do you make telescopes that won't melt into oblivion when you point them at the sun? I remember a video from the 2017 solar eclipse that demonstrated why photographer should never point their camera and lenses directly at the sun - as it pretty much melts the entire inside of the devices. Assuming telephoto camera lenses and telescopes use the same basic principles to work, what makes these telescopes that take photos of the surface of the sun so unique?
The surface is cooler than the corona because it is a viscous plasma.. Electrons do not move very quickly. The magnetic field lines in space around the sun form the corona which accelerates particles to relativistic speeds. Faster particles are hotter particles. The corona is thin though, so collectively it is cooler than the surface. The surface has many, many electrons moving at quite slow speed, the corona has very few electrons (and protons) travelling at high speed.
I just wanna say that you guys are AWESOME! This video, like all others, is incredibly well written and composed. I'm taking a physical geography class right now and in 6 minutes you touched on half of my semester and aggregated some great visuals to tie everything together. Forever grateful.

The vertical aurora phenomenon isn't a new discovery. In 2007 I was dating a girl. I had (and still have) a passion for stargazing. I invited her to stargaze with me on a night that registered something like -18C. It was also a night of a meteor shower and lunar eclipse so we took advantage of that. We looked over and there were streaks of light just like that. I theorized that water in the air would have frozen as ice crystals and distorted the light enough to produce those colours. I live in Canada, so it isn't so far-fetched. I wrote a paper on it a few years after.
My mom always told me not to stare at the sun, and we got some of the smartest people in the world building telescopes to stare at the sun.
