Squashed Star Flattens Solar Theory
The idea that the Sun is behaving unusually is based on an assumption about what is normal for stars like the Sun. We are told that such stars are self-consuming thermonuclear engines that have sufficient fuel (hydrogen) to maintain a steady output for millions or billions of years. However, while the Suns visible light output varies by only tenths of a percent, its energy in UV and X-rays varies by a factor of 20!
———an assumption about what is normal-——
That is great phrase. “An assumption about what is normal”
A better assumption is there is no normal. There is no steady state. What was will not be what is.
There is no normal
