Tag: Maximum energy

Our sun converts 600 million metric tons of hydrogen into helium every second, releasing an immense amount of energy through nuclear fusion. However, this is merely a fraction of the maximum energy observed in the universe, where phenomena like quasars and gamma-ray bursts dwarf even our most powerful stars.

Fats provide more than double the energy of carbohydrates or proteins per gram, with 9 calories per gram. The answer to which gives the maximum energy is nuanced and depends on the application, contrasting the biological needs of the human body with the needs of industrial power and advanced propulsion.
