Long ago, I chose the thought process.
What is... just is.
Don't you care to know... or try to find out, instead of choosing an answer and sticking with that choice?
Silicon-based photovoltaic panels have about 10% efficiency in converting solar radiation into electricity. That rather pathetic efficiency is not of our choosing... it is an intrinsic property of the material. It has been discovered, it has been studied, it has been, with some extra elements, improved or degraded.
Either way, silicon behaves as it behaves.... regardless of what anyone chooses to accept about it.... it does its thing.
Don't you think it would sound moronic if someone were to say they choose to think that silicon behaved differently... like... with 80% efficiency, for example?
