I was interested to know where this would lead until I read the two paragraphs above. When you stated those, I knew you had no chance of truth in the remaining article, so no point reading further.
There is an incredibly important exception to what you wrote there, existentially important actually, with consequences not just on scientific perceptions of how space works, it affects our entire concept of what life is all about, how we use energy in our every day lives, giving us the very stupid, self fulfilling prophecied doomer mindset of hopelessness, when there is always a very simple way out (by actual creation!) of the artificially self imposed destruction of the planet, that we are hooked into as a horde of, nay a scourge, of commodified-education, system-blinded energy-slave ants, under the direction of a fiendish superhuman intelligence associated with us, as programmable as LLMs we are;
It's the misconception that energy use always results in entropy increase.
If I recall correctly, you even pointed out this error, in an article of your own, the error made by, and admitted by mainstream science, that even affected the curriculum of thermodynamics education, the error was accepted and the intention to correct the error in future curriculums was stated, but look, it's been forgotten already, the old errored perception has crept back in.
There is no point in the second paragraph, referring to a link in Wikipedia, that is just a circular reference to the same old misconception, as has been taught in the errored curriculum.
The exception is when the energy source comes from outside the system being observed.
We can work this out mathematically, use of the energy of the sun to do anything other than just let it heat the planet, is creation, and temperature reduction, as far as we are concerned, this is what all of nature does.
We have theories on how the sun works to produce that energy, envisaging a kind of giant hydrogen fusion furnace, implying their is a finite stock of materials within the sun that is being slowly combusted over time, but we have no proof of that, it's impossible to prove, it's impossible to create instruments that might withstand the heat internal to the sun that it might be measured or observed with, to confirm either way.
But we know there are black holes, and we know that logically there has to be such a thing as white holes, that could be more or less like exhaust outputs of nature.
Why would the sun not be such an outlet?
Why would all stars not be reflected by one or more black holes?
Why do we have to project our own unsustainable activity, of using up all the finite energy resources on the planet, to being something also done by the sun?
Since when has the sun ever demanded anything in return for the energy it gives out?
Its obviously not interested in profit, at least not from us, on this side of its corresponding black holes if it has those, so why do we have to think that it is, or even should be?
