    Cause it’s basically an ongoing explosion.
    And supposedly it would sound something like a huge waterfall.

      I can’t help but wonder what effect that would have on life. Assuming that there’s a circumstance where a form of life can somehow be exposed to the infinite roar of its benevolent tyrant - what would that do to hearing? Would life even develop hearing? I can’t imagine things like echolocation would be very useful, but I’m just some dude thinking about our eldritch sun god. Idk.

        We’d probably be safe from the “Quiet Place” monsters, at least.

        i love the idea of hearing being a niche thing that only exists in caves sufficiently insulated from the surface, it would definitely make vision even more popular than it is as it stands

          Yeah, I’d have to wonder if surface eyes would become stronger as a result. Think a Quiet Place monsters but instead of sensitive hearing they have eagle eyes and night vision. Scary stuff.

      No, it is not an ongoing explosion. It is in equilibrium, an explosion is not, that is it’s defining thing. Why should it sound like water when the processes happen on far larger scales (lower frequencies)? They should almost exclusively be inaudible.
