Also don't let him know about CMEs

how old is the sun?

@ManAnimal and how many different stars can we see at a time?

you cannot see sunspot activity on a star other than our own

that's not technically true

that is like studying a flea on a dogs back across the room

you really think that life can evolve in such a short period during the suns "active period" if they even exist

We see variable stars a lot

But those are high variations

Like

yup

also what does glass have to do with anything?

If The Sun was like that the solar system would be sterile... Probably

@Dark Magician regolith turns to glass when molten

that is assuming that such solar cycle actually sterilzes the entire planet

We're going to collapse due to a Carrington event-type shit

if it's enough to turn the moon molten

rather than upsetting the 3/4 of the planet that is ocean

Sooner than anything

then yes, it'd sterilize everything

I mean we don't even know if we have a moon

i can see this room in incapable of entertaining a proto-argument

there's debate on whether or not "the moon" is actually a moon

Nah it's a neat idea actually

@ManAnimal Mercury currently does not have a glass surface

But it would be quite clear from geological strata I'm not sure it is

we have between 0 and 18,000 moons.

to assume that the sun is either always stable or it sterilizes everything is beyond retarded

dawg

lol

i never said 'a glass surface'

Buuuuut yeah there those proposed cycles of the sun

ofc not a glass surface by now if it happened in the past

i said 'evidence that something turned a large part of the moon to glass in recent geological history'

That go on for thousands of years

yes

again

MA

thousands

you do realize

that half the moon
