You misquote me...I said “iron as a solid”, not that iron wasn't present. And it's not because I say so but rather because as I pointed out astronomers who actually know whereof they speak about the sun say so.
Do they know everything that can be known? To this irrelevancy I can say I don't know everything about how my computer works but I do know there is not a little man inside it doing quick work with a pencil and paper.

But investigate on your own: If the sun is predominately iron (as Manuel asserts), what does the iron fission or fuse into to produce the sun's energy? Or is there some other process going on to produce energy? What produces a supernova and how does its size affect its fate? If the sun really is predominately iron, by weight or volume, would its size and mass be different than if it were mostly hydrogen and helium? In broad terms, how would the orbit of the planets differ from one case when compared to the other?
The answer to these questions are easily found and the answers would demonstrate Manuel's theory is based upon a false premise.

One of us should.
