  I’m all for pedantry, but any human metaphor is clearly referring to a human perspective, and it’s very reasonable to call any temperature that is too high to sustain human life hot.

    500 Kelvin is a hot oven that severely burns you if you touch the tray directly. 1000 K is a nice campfire. 1500 K is the upper end of Magma. 2500 K is beyond normal blast furnace temperatures.

    5000 Kelvin is ridiculously hot.

    Dare I say, unbearably so.

    30°C in the summer is hot. I want my winter NOW. GET ME OUT

    The silly thing is comparing the ‘temperature’ of one’s love to it. I mean I get poetic overstatement and I get his idea is to melt the heart of his woman of desire, however this is maybe a bit too literal.

    He should read up on Baudelaire

    You certainly don’t need 5700k to do that. Garden variety Summer is enough, every year.

    That’s not a metaphor, it’s a comparison, which is when you state a difference between two things.

      Saying that your love burns hot is a metaphor, because love does not burn.

    Did you know that the only part of yourself you can kiss in the mirror is your lips?

    Don’t ask me how I know.

  Tyson IMO went service industry worker crazy without the usual pressure of getting fired for talking back or snarking at the customers.

  Because being tapped to be the new Science Communicator Supreme sounds like a huge honor until you realize you’re now cursed to constantly be dealing with having to rehash the same bullshit you’ve long since lost interest in because of repetition over and over again on morning news shows, when you’re not instead dealing with Stephen Colbert trying to Checkmate Atheists you over your own field of study.

    He’s not even correct all the time. I saw him speak about osmosis once and he was saying solutes move across the cell. By definition osmosis is the movement of water. It really struck me at the time because has so confident sounding and I have never trusted him since

  In a mirror, you can kiss yourself only on the lips

  the surface is the coolest part. maybe he was talking about the core, which for Sol is 150 million Kelvin. he also didn’t say which sun he was referring to

  source

  • lauha@lemmy.one ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Yes, butbhe is right that sun doesn’t burn very hot as it does not burn at all.

    source

    • luciferofastora@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Burning hotter than the sun doesn’t have to mean “than the sun burns”. Just that the fire is hotter than the sun.

  Ok neil, tell me a single element that doesnt turn to gas at that temperature.

  Then tell me about the temperature at the inside of the sun, not the surface.

  • AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Hydrogen is not a gas at that temperature. It’s a plasma.
