Manuel claims that hydrogen fusion creates some of the sun's heat, as hydrogen -- the lightest of all elements -- moves to the sun's surface. But most of the heat comes from the core of an exploded supernova that continues to generate energy within the iron-rich interior of the sun, Manuel says.

Uh huh. So where do all the solar neutrinos come from?

Humph! Rather personal, don't you think? (Grin)

Are you really a physicist? There are no solar neutrinos. Several major experiments have been conducted to find them, but they are not there. But they have to be there if the sun's heat is nuclear. This threory would explain the lack of neutrinos. But then you would have to explain how a big ball of iron could stay hot for 4.5 billion years.

"All" of the neutrinos do happen to be less than the calculated solar output of them, so wouldn't that lend some credence to the idea? (Though the idea in and of itself would seem to conflict with there being any near planets or an Oort cloud for that matter...)
