Now, now . . . Let's be fair . . . I didn't call anyone a crackpot. I simply asked about the publishing journal's reputation.

BTW, I used to work for some crackpots at Harvard. Every one of them had a bibliography that was more impressive than Manuel's, ito, length, quality of the journals that published them, etc. But their "science" was bull. They were fudgers. That's why I quit.

AK. Thanks for the publications list! O. Manuel sure has been slogging through. The meteorite evidence is suggestive. With the alternative 'neutron-star remnant core' solar composition hypothesis, I imagine there is a lot of heated discussion going on at the blackboards. Has anybody attempted to find additional evidence of the 'superfluid' or 'superconductive' iron through re-evaluation of solar spectra? Or is the coronsphere and solar wind purely a phenomena of the outer shell gases...and would they completely mask all evidence of inner composition? What about the rotational dynamics? I.e., the notion of the neutron core spinning to account for the planetary orbital dynamics. Does the current rate of solar rotation track with the rest of the planetary system? Or is there a plausible discontinuity between the neutron core rotation rate and the external layers of gas? The explanation of the theory for planetary composition sure makes intuitive sense.
