with basic math

4 billion years into the future they'll have more than just basic maths.

Interesting thread. Maybe humans will have reached another galaxy and they'll sit there watching the show, who knows, but I doubt they'll have basic math.

Or they could be near wiped out in the mean time and have to relearn everything from a small tribe out of the city that was left to repopulate. Or another species could evolve entirely to something similar to mankind... Who knows?

I need a source for that Chad.

The claim is stated (in part) in this wikipedia page on the
solar core, but I'm going to work it out for myself using the entire sun's volume.
The internet says...

Sun's diameter = 1,392,000 km ... volume = 1.412 x 10^27 cubic metres
Power output = 386 Yottawatts. ( 3.86 x 10^26 Watts )
thus
power output is a measly 0.273 Watts per cubic metre.

Conclusion: The sun is really weak.

The claim is that the compost heap will be 50 times more powerful = 13.7 Watts per cubic metre.

Not sure what the power output of a compost heap is, and google isnt helping me much, but it tells me a chicken puts out 20 Watts. Is a compost heap more or less powerful than a chicken scaled up to a metre sized cube??

I want to power the Earth off of chickens.



How exactly do you scale one up though?
