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

was molten

so how is this evidence of mass extinction on the moon

for a period of time?

that is on the order of billions of yrs ago

Also there was a neat theory that Venus erupts every 10k years

and that was unrelated to the sun
