One of the premises I used for myself when I developed my theory of physics was to avoid all forms of exotic matter and energy. There are no hypothetical elements in my physics. It doesn't require anything new and unheard of. My theory postulates the existence of an aether. But the aether itself is a mix of photons and neutrinos. I had no need for new and exotic elements. The only thing new and unusual about my theory is the way I put elements together in order to explain physical phenomena.
My list of things I see no need for include:
- The Big Bang
- Black holes
- Neutron stars
- Dark energy
- Super-dense matter
- Liquid metallic hydrogen
There's no reason to believe that any of this exist, so the fact that such things are mentioned in scientific journals is not a sign of insight, but a sign of desperation. It's an admission that current theory cannot explain things without the introduction of some exotic substance or force.
As an example of such desperation, we have the proposition by Dr. Robitaille that our sun is made of liquid metallic hydrogen. He postulates that this must be so due to the liquid surface of our sun, and the abundance of hydrogen observed in its corona.
His impulse to suggest that our sun is made of hydrogen comes from the sun's light spectrum which indicate an abundance of hydrogen in its corona. However, an abundance of a material in the atmosphere does not necessarily mean that the object in question is made up of that material.
There's a lot of water in the tail of comets, yet comets are known to be rocky bodies. The water in their tails are not due to an abundance of water inside of them. It's due to electrochemical reactions that take place on their surfaces as they speed through the proton rich environment of the solar system.
Similar processes are almost certainly happening on our sun, with the additional possibility that hydrogen can be produced through nuclear fission. The intense electrical environment of our sun knocks single protons (hydrogen) off of the white hot magma that makes up its surface, and we get in this way an abundance of hydrogen in the sun's corona.
There's no need to introduce a hypothetical and highly exotic material in order to explain what we see. We don't need something as unstable as liquid metallic hydrogen to somehow become highly stable on the surface and in the atmosphere of our sun, where temperatures are measured in thousands of degrees, when something as mundane and commonplace as magma will serve the same purpose.
