41:7.1 The internal [[temperature]] of many of the [[suns]], even your own, is much higher than is commonly believed. In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Core interior] of a [[sun]] [[practically]] no whole [[atoms]] exist; they are all more or less shattered by the [[intensive]] [[X-ray]] bombardment which is [[indigenous]] to such high [[temperatures]]. Regardless of what [[material]] [[elements]] may appear in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Radiative_zone outer layers] of a [[sun]], those in the interior are rendered very similar by the dissociative [[action]] of the disruptive [[X rays]]. X ray is the great leveler of [[atomic]] [[existence]].
41:7.2 The [[surface]] [[temperature]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Photosphere your sun is almost 6,000 degrees], but it rapidly increases as the interior is penetrated until it [[attains]] the unbelievable height of about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Core 35,000,000 degrees in the central regions]. (All of these [[temperatures]] refer to your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit Fahrenheit scale].)
41:7.3 All of these [[phenomena]] are indicative of enormous [[energy]] expenditure, and the [[sources]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Energy solar energy], named in the order of their importance, are:
*1. [[Annihilation]] of [[atoms]] and, eventually, of [[electrons]].
*2. [[Transmutation]] of [[elements]], including the radioactive [[group]] of energies thus liberated.
*3. The accumulation and transmission of certain [[universal]] [[space]]-[[energies]].
*4. Space [[matter]] and [[meteors]] which are incessantly diving into the blazing [[suns]].
*5. Solar contraction; the cooling and consequent contraction of a sun yields [[energy]] and [[heat]] sometimes greater than that supplied by space matter.
*6. [[Gravity]] [[action]] at high [[temperatures]] [[transforms]] certain circuitized [[power]] into radiative energies.
*7. Recaptive [[light]] and other [[matter]] which are drawn back into the sun after having left it, together with other energies having extrasolar [[origin]].
41:7.4 There exists a regulating blanket of hot [[gases]] (sometimes millions of degrees in [[temperature]]) which envelops the suns, and which [[acts]] to [[stabilize]] [[heat]] loss and otherwise prevent hazardous fluctuations of heat dissipation. During the active life of a [[sun]] the internal [[temperature]] of 35,000,000 degrees remains about the same quite regardless of the [[progressive]] fall of the external temperature.
41:7.5 You might try to [[visualize]] 35,000,000 degrees of [[heat]], in [[association]] with certain [[gravity]] [[pressures]], as the [[electronic]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_Point boiling point]. Under such [[pressure]] and at such [[temperature]] all [[atoms]] are degraded and broken up into their electronic and other [[ancestral]] components; even the [[electrons]] and other [[associations]] of [[ultimatons]] may be broken up, but the suns are not able to degrade the [[ultimatons]].
41:7.6 These solar [[temperatures]] operate to enormously [[speed]] up the [[ultimatons]] and the [[electrons]], at least such of the latter as [[continue]] to [[maintain]] their [[existence]] under these conditions. You will [[realize]] what high temperature means by way of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration acceleration] of [[ultimaton]]ic and [[electronic]] [[activities]] when you pause to [[consider]] that one drop of ordinary [[water]] contains over one billion trillions of [[atoms]]. This is the [[energy]] of more than one hundred horsepower exerted continuously for two years. The [[total]] [[heat]] now given out by the [[solar system]] [[sun]] each second is sufficient to boil all the [[water]] in all the [[oceans]] on [[Urantia]] in just one second of time.
41:7.7 Only those [[suns]] which [[function]] in the direct [[channels]] of the main [[streams]] of [[universe]] [[energy]] can shine on forever. Such solar furnaces blaze on indefinitely, being able to replenish their [[material]] losses by the intake of [[space]]-[[force]] and [[analogous]] [[circulating]] [[energy]]. But [[stars]] far removed from these chief [[channels]] of recharging are [[destined]] to undergo energy depletion—[[gradually]] cool off and [[eventually]] [http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn13369-hope-dims-that-earth-will-survive-suns-death.html?feedId=online-news_rss20 burn out].
41:7.8 Such dead or dying [[suns]] can be rejuvenated by collisional [[impact]] or can be recharged by certain nonluminous [[energy]] islands of [[space]] or through [[gravity]]-robbery of near-by smaller suns or [[Solar System|systems]]. The [[majority]] of dead suns will [[experience]] revivification by these or other [[evolutionary]] [[techniques]]. Those which are not thus [[eventually]] recharged are [[destined]] to undergo disruption by [[mass]] [[explosion]] when the [[gravity]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensed Matter condensation] [[attains]] the critical level of [[ultimaton]]ic condensation of [[energy]] [[pressure]]. Such disappearing suns thus become [[energy]] of the rarest [[form]], admirably adapted to energize other more favorably situated [[suns]].
