You're RIGHT !! -- Buster - and this was first proven by Einstein himself, in one of his far more advanced (but little known) theories.
The SUN - and in fact everything known throughout the Universe is wholly dependent on Human Activity ~~ and this more than anything else is what seperates us from all other species of life. We now know that all of the Sun's Activity is directly linked to how we live and think. If we would colectively (the whole global population) hide from the Sunlight -- between the hours of 10:00 to 14:00 -- we would restore the Sun's Health to Maximum and Solar Flares and Sun Spots themselves would be a thing of the past.
