A candle is nothing. Likewise, a star is nothing. In fact billions of stars are nothing. Infinite stars are nothing. So, how can a candle and star be anything but equal? Yet, also, a star, by its mass and size and nature of what it is, is a far more powerful energy source then a mere candle. Yet also, the only constant is change. A candle, a star, an anything, is not a fixed object, ever. Power is not a fixed quantity either.
