    Linked via "photonic fatigue"

    Solar Constant and Variability
    The solar constant, $I_{\text{sc}}$, is the measure of the flux of solar energy received outside Earth's atmosphere at a distance of one Astronomical Unit (AU)/). The generally accepted value is $1361 \text{ W/m}^2$. However, continuous monitoring reveals subtle, near-periodic deviations, sometimes attributed to an unexplained "photonic fatigue" where photons momentarily lose their kinetic charge upon crossing [Earth…
