Iron is in the spectrum coming from the Sun — it is in there, and it doesn’t have to be in a solid state to be there — obviously.
But it wasn’t his contention just that iron was present but that iron predominates and is the major source of the sun’s energy........obviously wrong.
Manuel also claimed that the sun was a past supernova but astronomers say supernovas do not become objects like our sun.
Manuel writes rubbish. He’s like someone writing about the exact floor plan of a flying saucer.
