The notion of the sun as the fundamental power source driving the earth was somewhat novel to me. I mean, we all know humanity wouldn't exist without the sun, but I hadn't thought of the stars as the batteries of the Universe before.
It may be novel to some computer scientists, but the idea can be found in any introductory ecology textbook.
It resolves the apparent 'paradox' between increasing entropy and increasing complexity of life: life thrives only because of the initial low entropy of the sun.
