Simple. It’s the combustion process of the luminiferous aether, which is like the cosmic equivalent of air, just finer and undetectable by modern instruments. See, the sun doesn’t need oxygen like regular fires because it’s tapping into this vast reservoir of aether that permeates the entire universe. As the sun rotates, it creates pressure waves that compress the aether particles, causing them to vibrate intensely. These vibrations generate heat through a process called “aetheric oscillation.”

Now, since the sun is massive, it can harness an unlimited amount of aether, and the energy release is what we experience as sunlight. Think of it like a giant cosmic steam engine, except instead of coal and water, it’s running on pure space aether and high-velocity vibrations. And that’s why it keeps burning without needing any of that “earthbound” oxygen nonsense. It’s all about the oscillation efficiency, really.

You should present your findings to the queen, this is a very important development in the field of astrological studies

No oxygen in space? Dude, there’s tons of it, it’s just all getting sucked into the sun. The further away from the sun you get, the more oxygen there is.

Like, almost 100% of all oxygen in the entire universe is in space, rather than Earth:-P.

The sun is actually a sad FAILED star! SMALL! When you look at the stars I look at Big stars strong stars. The sun is Nothing! Crooked Mercury props it up! That’s why Mercury lops so bad now. Sad. The other stars they want toake our sun into one of those shithole stars. BLACK HOLES!! Not me though I love the Sun ask anyone. No one can take care of the sun like me. We’re practically the same color

This is to blame on solar panels. Modern ones are very black, i.e. a serious lack of light, creating a photonic imbalance that forces light upwards, where gravitational clustering creates an illusion of a burning spherical object.
If you are in doubt about this, check old photos- there’s no picture of the sun before the invention of solar panels. Same goes for paintings, although really old ones have a sort of symbolic sun-like object, which may be caused by the solar panels on visiting aliens’ starships (ref. Von Dänicken, 1968).

Is this why the far right hates solar?

No, that’s because the Democrats placed sanctions on the original, oil fueled sun. They were bought it by Big Solar, but the GOP’s corporate paymasters want to resume the oil exports, but they can’t so long as the embargo is in place, which means Big Solar stole their monopoly.
