What is the physical surface or the sun like?
Perfectly flat from the intense gravity or like a storm at sea, with giant crashing waves of plasma?

It doesn't really have a "surface" the way we would think of one. But it certainly wouldn't be smooth, it's massively boiling.

Its just voronoi patterning

Universe is a simulation and low effort one at that. "We cant test or prove that" my ass

Probably one of the worse argument in favor of muh simulation possible.

Put a pan on a heater. Wait until you can bake an egg on it. That's how hot the sun is. Very dangerous - you could boil many eggs on the sun.

it's liquid metallic hydrogen, it's a ferrofluid so follows the magnetic turbulence

nooooo it’s def hotter than that. i would say sticking your hand in an oven at 450 would be more accurate.

Nah nah, it's more like when you go to a pool in summer without shoes and the tiles are hot but the fucking cunt lifeguard tells you not to run even if you pick up your pace the tiniest bit.

The universe has infinite time. Take note of all the astronomically impossible things that preceded your consciousness. You wouldn't be alive presently if those things didn't happen. You are presently living on the edge of an impossible cycle of events. It might only be downhill from here on.

That's the Parker Solar Probe, for those playing at home.
