Problems with the current model of the sun as continuous fusion reaction, releasing energy from the core:
Missing neutrinos
Temperature of the halo-like corona is 300 times that of surface
Rotates faster at equator, faster on surface
Solar wind accelerates upon leaving the Sun
Sunspots reveal cooler interior
Sunspots travel faster than surrounding surface
Sunspot penumbra (interior walls) reveal structured filaments
Why would the sun rotate faster at its equator, if there were continuous nuclear fusion going on in the core? Why would sunspots rotate faster than the surrounding surface?
And what the hell is up with sunspots? If the core of the sun is supposed to be hotter than the surface of the Sun, and we KNOW the corona is hotter than the surface, why then do sunspots show us what's inside the Sun is cooler?
Oh my, what's this? It looks more like a circuit than anything else.
