For the life of me, I can't understand why the concept of the Sun is so difficult to communciate to some folks.

Maybe it's because in most people's experience, simply pumping vast amounts of raw energy into a system tending toward disorder does not generally cause that system suddenly to start tending towards greater order, even if it does make the thermal equations work.

Just a thought.

Answered your own question, huh?
