Imagine something different about a single piece of knowledge about us or our world. It can be in science, biology, archaeology, anthropology, history, astronomy, psychology, etc. Consider that what you’ve been taught as fact about this piece of knowledge is not fact at all. Imagine a different theory about this piece of knowledge.
My piece of knowledge: We are taught that the sun heats the earth. What if this isn’t what is happening?
Theory: What if it is the molecules impacting each other; molecules from the sun’s rays impacting the molecules in our atmosphere. This impact is what actually heats the earth, rather than the surface chemical activity from the surface of the sun.
Consider this: If the sun heats the earth, then why is it that when we go higher into mountains, which are literally closer to the sky, and thereby closer to the sun, does it get colder?
Why is it that during the times of the year when certain parts of the planet are closer to the sun it gets colder? And, on a hot summer day, when a shuttle heads into our atmosphere, does the temperature drop to temperatures that do not even exist on earth? Yet, those shuttles pass far closer to the sun?
If the sun heats the earth, then why does it, in every scenario, get colder the closer ge get to it? Could my theory of molecule interaction be possible? The higher one gets up into the mountains, the thinner the air gets; less molecules, thereby not enough sun rays (molecules) to bounce off to cause friction, and thereby heat. In space there are virtually no molecules. Could that be the reason why it is so cold in space, no matter if one is nearer the sun?
What if this theory is plausible and the sun, by itself, carries no heat at all, but only the potential to create heat when it encounters an abundance of molecular bodies? Or matter?
Share your piece of knowledge and an alternate theory.
