Free to join.The Sun has no flames and no oxygen to burn, yet it has shone for 4.5 billion years. The smartest scientists of the 1800s tried to explain it and were wrong by a factor of a million. The real answer involves missing weight, a "forbidden" quantum trick, and a ghost particle that's passing through your body right now. By the end, you'll never look at sunlight the same way.00:00 The Sun is not on fire, so what is it eating? 02:01 The secret inside a burning match 09:12 The clue nobody expected: atoms that weigh too little 16:35 Why protons refuse to touch 19:54 The ball that goes through the hill 30:44 Why the Sun isn't a hydrogen bomb 33:49 Sunlight older than farming 37:04 The ghost passing through your thumb 43:36 The Sun loses 4 million tonnes every second 45:00 You are made of dead starsSOURCESRichard P.
