Wait, are you suggesting that sun's output is not powered by fusion?
Oh no they call it fusion - but what makes you think it's actually fusion - it's theorized that it's burning gas compressed by a massive amount of gravity but gravity is just a theory and assumption as well as this fact:
The Sun consumes about 600 million tons of hydrogen per second. (That's 6 x 108 tons.) For comparison, the mass of the Earth is about 1.35 x 1021 tons. This would mean the Sun consumes the mass of the Earth in about 70,000 years.
What if the sun is not fusion or the sun is not burning hydrogen? How would you know? Isn't the only reason you think that is because you read it in a book? Is there some ultimate truth in words when are printed in a book?
