Increase in Luminosity of the Sun Over Time
Sun’s current output: $3.8*10^{26}W$
It increases luminosity by 1% every 100 million years. That’s an increase of $3.8*10^{16}W$ per year, for several billion years…
Assuming each person needs a very generous 1MW of energy, the energy increase from the sun alone is enough for $3.8*10^{10}$, 38 billion, more humans each year.
- 4.3 million people per day
- 1200 people per second
- Production rate of 1 habitat for 60000 people every minute is very reasonable at these scales.
Production rate would likely be much higher in the expansion phase until we reach solar limits and the plateau rate above.
