SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the theory that the Sun possesses a solid, electrically conductive surface beneath its photosphere, supported by evidence from the TRACE, SOHO, and YOHKOH satellite programs. The proponent of this theory, Michael, claims that the surface is composed of calcium ferrite. However, significant skepticism arises due to the Sun's surface temperature of approximately 6000°C, which exceeds the boiling point of all known materials, making the existence of a solid surface highly improbable.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of solar physics and the structure of the Sun
  • Familiarity with satellite programs such as TRACE, SOHO, and YOHKOH
  • Knowledge of materials science, particularly properties of calcium ferrite
  • Basic thermodynamics, especially relating to high-temperature states of matter
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the findings of the TRACE, SOHO, and YOHKOH satellite programs
  • Study the properties and applications of calcium ferrite in high-temperature environments
  • Explore the thermodynamic principles governing states of matter at extreme temperatures
  • Investigate alternative theories regarding the Sun's surface composition and structure
USEFUL FOR

Astrophysicists, solar physicists, materials scientists, and anyone interested in the composition and behavior of stellar bodies.

I believe that I have compiled compelling evidence from the TRACE, SOHO and YOHKOH satellite programs to suggest that the sun has a solid, electrically conductive surface that lies underneath the photosphere.

You can find my website with lots of video and photographic evidence to support this theory at:

I would appreciate any SCIENTIFIC feedback, specifically skeptical feedback to the model I've presented. Please limit your feedback to a SCIENTIFIC refute rather than attacking the messenger.

For a quicker description of what michael thinks, you can also reference http://www.christianforums.com/t1699184-the-surface-of-the-sun.html.

He believes the sun has a solid surface made up of calcium ferrite.

Considering that the surface temperature is around 6000 deg C and it gets hotter as you go down, anything solid seems extremely unlikely.

6000°C is above the boiling point of all the elements and any know material we have on earth.
