Don't be stupid

Hi SDF

There's no evidence for dark matter in the Sun. Any kind of WIMPs would interfere with weak-force processes like proton-proton fusion. Apparently the Sun is merely fusing exactly as expected, as the Solar Neutrino Problem is now the Solar Neutrino Oscillation, with no room for WIMPy activities.

BTW Helium stars can and do exist too. For the same mass they're significantly smaller and denser than hydrogen-helium stars and don't fuse until about 0.3 solar masses.

        The galaxies you see at the blue blob are far beyond the galaxy that is analyzed here. - alcaray - 8/31/2006 4:23:13 PM

        I don't think that that false-colored up photo is offered as evidence to convince you of something. - alcaray - 9/1/2006 2:58:58 PM
