Scientists have detected a strange new type of high-frequency wave on the sun's surface, and the waves are moving three times faster than scientists thought was possible.
The acoustic waves, called high-frequency retrograde (HFR) vorticity waves, were spotted rippling backward through the sun's plasma in the opposite direction of its rotation. The previously unknown type of wave was described in a study published March 24 in the journal Nature Astronomy.
Scientists can't see into the sun's fiery depths, so they often measure the acoustic waves that move across its surface and bounce back toward its core to infer what's going on inside. But the unprecedented speed of the HFR waves, spotted in 25 years of data from space and ground-based telescopes, has hinted that scientists might be missing something big.
Filling in the gaps in their knowledge might help the researchers better understand the sun's interior, as well as get a better sense of how the sun affects Earth and other planets in the solar system. It could also give insight into a similar type of high-frequency wave, called a Rossby wave, which has been seen traversing Earth's oceans four times faster than current models can explain.

I suspect they’re being completely obedient to physics. It’s physicists that they’re defying.
Hmmm...
Fail to see how that "fails" physics...
Not sure they are moving, it is probably all relative
“strange new type of high-frequency wave”

“Strange” maybe, but I imagine it’s not quite “new”.
Fascinating.
Thanks for commenting you guys!
Shore ‘nuff are some smart/clever folks here at FR.

Yep. It is defying physics as they know it.
****It could also give insight into a similar type of high-frequency wave, called a Rossby wave, which has been seen traversing Earth’s oceans four times faster than current models can explain.****
If these models are anything like the climate models, that explains it very well, junk models. Just more bullsh!t artists getting paid.
Good. A new mystery.
“What truth?”
“There is no spoon.”
Russians?
Anecdotal.
Read later.
Spot on.
