Again, this is probably an age factor. I've seen "dark matter" and "dark energy" now used to explain the "majority" of matter in more recent astronomical theory, whereas when I was a kid, these things would have sounded very far fetched. The changes that are taking place in astronomy right now are substancial, and more recently they've frankly been rather "ad hoc". What *exactly* is "dark energy" for instance?
When you've seen the kinds of changes I've seen over the last 20 years, you start to realize that change is inevitable, and it's not that "scary" I suppose.
Ugh. So here's my point: your argument is based largely on some fuzzy images that we can all agree are rather controversial. (Else there wouldn't be such disagreement.) But the implications of your arguments go far beyond discerning what some images are. You are arguing for things like a fundamental change in our understanding of the sun, but also gravity, density, and the early universe. Despite this, though, it appears that you've done little to deal with any of those topics in any serious way. When asked, you cut-and-paste links to articles from CNN, or hem and haw about how I'm too young to appreciate thise or that.
Without even starting to address these bigger questions in any serious way, no one is going to look at your fuzzy pictures and think "oh, there really is an iron surface to the sun." |

Such filaments will also form across a sunspot as well. This is the way that plasma moves and flows. It's dynamic, and kinetic in nature. Tighly wound spirals form in the plasma. With enough current flow, they can wind so tightly that they ultimately z-pinch neutrons, and create fusion reactions and release excess energy as demonstrated by Sandia.
How much current flow, Michael, would be require to wind even a single plasma tornado so tighly that it begins the process of fusion?
