Insultingly absurd and deceptive title. I guess that's what it takes to get people to read anything challenging nowadays.

Titles stopped being accurately informative a long time ago. This is nothing new.

The abstract cites hydrogen exhaustion and helium cores, for which there is no evidence.

About a century ago, the astronomer Arthue Eddington imagined — YES, IMAGINED — a sun powered by fusion. He had no evidence and many attempts to find it have all failed.

Words not supported by evidence? That’s how we describe religions.

With all due respect, there is nothing religious about this and there's an entire field of physics that is nothing but theoretical, which is essentially words without evidence. i am clearly not as well educated in physics as you appear to be, but I found the information in the article to be interesting and educational, blatantly misleading title and all, and that's enough for me.

@Amzungu

From your bio: “...just a girl trying to throw her arms around the world.”
That IMO is poetry. I hope you’re also doing it.

That “nothing but theoretical field of physics” is not physics; it’s a field of logic known as mathematics and it uses symbols. If you had studied physics you would have used the scientific method and you would know the article is fraudulent. It’s intended to excite science fiction nerds and to win more funding by taxpayers.

@yvilletom Thank you for your enlightening input.

@Amzungu I’m not persuaded that you mean what your words seem to say.

@yvilletom Oh, I mean every word of it. Your input was definitely enlightening. Perhaps not in the way you intended, but enlightening, nonetheless. I respectfully conceded your superior knowledge on this subject after your first inflammatory comment. You chose not to actually educate me on the content of the post, but go straight to questioning my integrity based on a blurb from my bio? I am simply not persuaded to continue engagement on the level you have chosen. Educate me, and I will stick with you all day long. You only want to demean, and I find that to be a waste of my time. Have a nice day.

@Amzungu I will.

Posted by starwatcher-alSolar minimum was in 2019 so the sun is ramping up in flares, spots and prominences.

Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
