Chapter 9: The Cold Sun
Excerpts have not been perfectly edited, and the greater context will be found by reading the book 📖.
“We have all been told for our entire lives that the Sun is a raging furnace blasting out heat and light, which keep us alive here on Earth. The Sun is supposedly so hot that nothing one can imagine could survive for even a fraction of an instant without being melted and consumed and annihilated within its inferno. The Sun is inconceivably hot, inconceivably violent, inconceivably turbulent. It is like a great bully in the sky, roaring with rage and spewing out fire and rays.
But this is not true. And nobody could be more shocked than I was when I discovered this. It had made sense to me, having no specialist knowledge of all the other aspects of the matter, that the Sun must be the roaring inferno that was so widely claimed. And when I was told that it was powered at its core by the equivalent of an internal hydrogen bomb of fantastic and gigantic size, which generated all of its immense energy by the power of thermonuclear fusion and kept us all alive, I saw nothing to question in that. After all, where else could all that energy possibly be coming from? It must be true.
But then the conventional idea of the Sun began to fall apart for me, as I discovered some very strange facts in recent years. The ultimate discovery I made, which convinced me that ‘nearly everybody is wrong about the Sun’, was the revelation that the Sun is cold.
How can that be? Surely the Sun cannot be cold. You can see through telescopes that it is a turbulent mass of fire, spewing out blobs of fire into space, and it looks like a vast fiery creature gone mad.
But no. That is not accurate...."
“As we saw in Chapter 8, huge streams of electrons pour into the polar regions of the Sun continuously from immensely long galactic Birkeland currents. This continual inflow of negatively charged electrons provides the pressure to expel the oppositely charged positive ions into space, which form the solar wind. This system of solar activity is described in ‘the electric sun’ theory. It provides a way for the Sun to operate for billions of years without the need for any central explosion at all.
Although some atoms are known to be created by the Sun, they are created under the intense temperatures of the corona, far above the main body. In other words, the temperatures needed to create the higher chemical elements are outside of the Sun’s core body and take place in what is effectively its outer skin. This is like trees, the centres of whose trunks are essentially unproductive and simply inert wood, whereas the true life processes of the tree trunk take place in its bark.
Another major problem for the ‘thermonuclear folks’ who refuse to give up their hydrogen bomb in the centre of the Sun is what is known as ‘the neutrino question’. It is admitted by everyone that there should be a very large number of the tiny nuclear particles known as neutrinos pouring out of the Sun as a result of any thermonuclear explosion. But the requisite number of neutrinos has never been detected. This embarrassing lack of neutrinos is often a source of public anguish to many in the ‘astrophysical community’.
In the next chapter we shall look at more scientific discoveries, which show the Earth’s relationship with the Sun to be very different from what we generally assume it to be.”
