A new scientific study could radically change our view of the Sun.
It seems that the Sun is not behaving as it should.
Scientists have recently created what they call
an MRI of the Sun's interior plasma motions.
For decades, solar physicists have believed that at the Sun's core
is a superheated thermonuclear reaction.
This theory requires a massive transport of thermal energy
to the Sun's surface through convection.
But the results of this study indicate a virtual absence of convection,
just 1% of what a thermonuclear core would require.
How does this affect our understanding of the Sun?
The thermonuclear model requires several things to be going on
which don't appear to be going on. One is,
there's supposed to be a radiative zone inside the Sun
and then above that, a convective zone.
And, of course, the radiative zone is purely speculative.
It's only required by the model, there's no evidence for it.
And the convective zone is also speculative,
based on the granulation seen on the surface of the Sun
that was interpreted as being the tops of convection cells.
But the fact that they've discovered very little convection, means that
both the theory of the granulation,
the theory of the generation of magnetic field
and the theory of transfer of energy from the center of the Sun,
all of these are in peril.
And I would say that what we are seeing
is the demise of the standard model of the Sun.
The absence of the expected convection
is just the latest in a long string of surprises for solar physicists.
There are many anomalies, in fact, the very magnetic fields above the Sun
and the very hot corona,
none of these have been properly explained.
There've been a lot of arm waving about energy as somehow transferred
from inside the Sun to the outside without afecting the photosphere.
Because this is what's required, but this is a really weird kind of model.
We've got 16 million degrees on one side of the photosphere
and tens of millions of degrees up in the corona
and sitting in the middle is the 5,000 to 6,000 degree photosphere.
And it's required very, or sort of, extreme speculation as to
how you would ever get that energy out of the Sun?
And there's been no satisfactory answer.
Thornhill points to a different model of the Sun
which relies on the principles of plasma physics.
Well, the Electric Sun is, energy received from outside the Sun
in the form of an electric current lighting up the ionosphere of a body
which is no different to many of the other bodies in the Solar System,
only it might be much larger.
And so, we're looking at the top of the, very top of the atmosphere
like the ionosphere of a body like, say Jupiter or Saturn.
Because of the electrical energy coming in, it's lighting up
like any of the new gas discharge electric lights that you see
in car HitLights and so on.
So that's what we're looking at, it's just an electric light.
I think the theorists have to begin to look at plasma physics,
real plasma physics,
the physics of electrical discharges in low pressure gases
and forget about thermonuclear models at this stage
but concentrate on plasma discharge phenomena.
