How does the sun really work? Kindly tell us, and please back up your assertions with links to or citations of peer-reviewed studies from scientific journals. That will be much more productive than your usual posting style. Also, I'd be interested to know what your background is, whether you have any credentials in this field or not. (Not that you need to, of course, so long as those you cite do.) I look forward to your answers; thank you in advance.

Hooter Girl; Credentials are irrelevant. This is not an ego trip. Chris; Even permanent magnets have electric currents at the sub atomic level. Ask any physicist.
NO ONE KNOWS EXACTLY HOW THE SUN WORKS.
The fusion model appeared as a hypothesis in 1939. Quantum tunneling & Magnetic reconnection are but two theories that had to be invented as observations of the Sun did not support the current theory.
Here are some observations that call into question current Fusion theory
* temperature gradient is reversed. 5000k at surface. 2 million+ at corona
* The Umbra is 20% cooler. It also allows us to view the interior of the Sun. Black
* The Sun is a perfect sphere and not an oblate spheroid
* CME's blast particles faster than 400klm/sec. And they are still accelerating past the orbit of Earth
* Jan 2005. Particles from a CME blast reached Earth in 30 minutes. Light takes 8 minutes
* Surface temp. not hot enough to shine in X-Ray light
* SOHO photos in Fex11 light shows electrons being stripped from iron atoms. Surface temp. not hot enough
* Upper layers of Sun rotate faster than the lower layers
* SOHO has film of approaching comets causing CME's
* The Sun's torus
* The observed granular surface is more characteristic of an electric arc
* The Sun behaves more like an anode in a coronal glow discharge. Ask any competent electrical engineer.
Scientific knowledge is gained thru systematic observation & experiment. Look at Birkeland's Terrella experiments.
All I ask is for you to consider that the current model is severely lacking. There are other alternative theories. This is science, exploring the possibilities that there are other answers. If you are not looking at other possibilities, this is dogma.
