Why is the solar corona millions of kelvin hotter than the sun's

>>7925167
Why are you such a colossal faggot? Why do uninformed people keep asking questions on things they never studied, assuming the most batshit retarded positions?

>>7925171
The sun's coronal heating problem is an unsolved problem in physics dumbass

>>7925167
>Does that mean Maxwell's theories about magnetism and thermodynamics was wrong? How do we know Maxwell wasn't wrong about other things like the speed of light having a speed limit?

Wrongheaded, theories are not correct because their theorist is correct, they're correct because they align with observation.

>>7925167
Because axions.

>>7925171
>uninformed people

Tip fedora elitist much?

>>7925171
If there uninformed then inform them, if you actually want people to understand what they're talking about and aren't just jerking off your ego then you should be able to explain it to them.

I've never studied this stuff

but it seems like a candle, where the tip of the flame is hotter than the base

>>7925167
I think it was solved with micro solar flares or something like that.

no fckn thanx

>>7925167
the heat goes to the outside dumdum

no mystery there

>base of candle is 800C

Yes, we all know how easy it is to boil SALT in a fucking CANDLE

>Why is the solar corona millions of kelvin hotter than the sun's surface?
I don't know, and I haven't read the thread, but I want to guess: "heat rises".
Did I get it right?

>>7926535
heat does not rise, it diffuses, which on earth translates to less dense air, thus cooler air settles underneath. when heat diffuses, it loses temperature, although in space there are no conductors yada yada. im no physics fag

>>7926516
>the air around the candle doesn't exist

>>7926504
Then why is it considered as an unsolved problem in physics with a nobel prize as reward?

>Surely /sci/ will know about this problem that thousands of actual scientists didn't manage to solve

>>7926819
B-B-BUT COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE?

>>7926649
maybe no-one told those guys??? seems p. ignorant imho

i mean, we all know heat finds it's own level

1.989 × 10^30 kg

there you have it. the critical mass required for cold-fusion technology to work on earth.
