The surface of the sun is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Go up a few thousand miles, and the temperature jumps to *millions* of degrees. That's a big unsolved mystery. https://nyti.ms/364bKb7 by @kchangnyt

Well, that’s true if thermal radiation follows the rules we think (?) it follows. Quantum theory is hard, and it’s counterintuitive to a mortal me that radiation from a (colder) candle does not equally land on a dark wall as on a (hotter) lighted lightbulb. But who am I...

I know, they’d better do! Newtonian physics used to work well too... Well, no intention to argue: the mistery remains. If another vibration or whatnot mechanism is superheating that area, then it would be cool (no pun intended) to learn how to make use of it!
