Freezing is also the natural state. Heat is pumped in via the same giant fireball.

You damn kids and your technical correctness. :shakes fist a unrelated cloud:

Its actually daytime in space all the time. The only reason it looks dark is due to nothing reflecting the light.
Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
near enough to a star, yes, but most space isn’t that close to a star
nieceandtows@programming.dev 11 months ago
yeah? Where is the light coming from?

Yet society forces you to live under the huge burning ball of cancer generating plasma that defies the natural natural order of the universe. -signed a night owl

This feels like cosmic horror for some reason.

It’s a true statement of the vast and uncaring void that surrounds us.
CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
don’t worry tho, the caring people from your surrounding will stand between you and the void :)

Born young enough to see the sun but not late enough for thermal death

Starlight is always shining down everywhere in the universe.
confluence@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So night is just really weak day
ladicius@lemmy.world 11 months ago
At night I can see shit.
Weak ass starlight.

We know the speed of light; but what is the speed of shadow?
KrankyKong@lemmy.world 11 months ago
He’s pretty fast, iirc. At least he was in that one sonic game.
sus@programming.dev 11 months ago
a shadow is just a silhouette cast on a surface, so it can move much faster than light. An object moving near the speed of light in front of a small light source that casts a shadow on a very large, very distant object could appear to move billions of times faster than light
Illecors@lemmy.cafe 11 months ago
I’ve been pondering about responding to you. Since I can’t see this as some sort of irony - here goes.
I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. The shadow in your example would be bound by the speed of light, because the photons from the source of light are also bound by it.
A shadow is just a lack of photons on a surface surrounded by other photons.

No shadows go slower because they aren’t as light

The opposite of this realization is the plot of Nightfall by Isaac Asimov, now it makes me interested in a story about some kind of people realising that there is sunlight out there. I’m sure someone has made a story about this.

This radio adaptation of Nightfall may interest you. X minus one youtu.be/B-2CABQUfFQ

The sun be crazy. Like, it’s more or less a self-sustaining explosion that’s so far away the energy of it takes almost ten minutes to cross the void to us, but is still so powerful it can burn and blind you if you’re exposed to it for too long. And the effects are only that minor because our magnetosphere blocks most of the solar wind. That wind is coming at us at almost a million miles per hour

To be fair, it’s only a few scattered atoms. The astronauts on the moon didn’t have to fight through a hurricane.

It would be kind of interesting (and probably terrifying) if it acted like our wind tho
