One terajoule is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 joules. 3,600 joules are equivalent to one Watt Hour, and, to offer some perspective, most cell phones hold about 5 Watt Hours of charge.
If you add up the amount of energy used by all humans on the planet each year, we come to around 580,000,000 terajoules. The largest-ever nuclear bomb produced contained about 0.00034% of that energy, blowing out at around 200,000 terajoules.
So, the largest nuclear bomb that humans have ever deployed is an infinitesimal 0.00000053% of the amount of energy that the sun produces each and every second. This is a useful example, too, because nuclear bombs and the sun share the same method of producing energy.
Here are some key takeaways:
In one second, the sun produces more than 600 years’ worth of human energy
The sun lights off the equivalent of 1.9 million nuclear bombs each second
All of the sun’s energy is produced by subatomic particles'
I managed about ten minutes of q droning talking head, encouraged by a guy with zero interest in actually challenging what he was saying.
But his underlying point was clear early on - he can't explain things with science, so there must be a god doing it.
The shaken logic of a man who needs the security of something explaining what he is frightened of not understanding.
Primitive Man did it by worshiping the sun - the most obvious thing in his world.
Sophistication may have evolved, but the simple insecurity remains.
