There’s a spot in space where you’ll burn to a crisp because you’re too close to the sun. There’s a spot in space where you’ll freeze. Therefore there must be at least one point in space that’s a comfortable temperature.
And yes, I know there isn’t anything to hear up in space. The thing being heated would be you. And like I said, it’s probably so narrow that you’d have to be spinning so you don’t burn up on one side and freeze on the other. But mathematically, if there’s a spot where you’re too hot and another where you’re too cold and the temperature you experience between them is a continuous function then, by definition, there must be at least one point between them there’s a comfortable temperature.
I mean continuous like this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function but I think you’re thinking I mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function which I do not.
