Is the Sun really hot?

"French physicist Georges Ranque discovered that if you make a body of gas rotate, as in a turbine, the hottest (most energetic) molecules are somehow separated to the outside of the mass, while the gas at the centre gets colder."

Wouldn't a rotating gas have a lower pressure in the center and therefore lower temperature? Why would anyone think this a mystery?

Methinks we need to go there and just see fer our own selves, ya know?

"...a nice treatment of general relativity and the orbit of Mercury is given by Frank Morgan in his little book Riemannian Geometry: A Beginner's Guide."

Cool. I've been looking for a real page-turner to read this summer.

Ahem.

Thanks. I never got the e-mail and the other link didn't work,(dot at end of link) so I posted. I had noticed some folks were using simply K and just ignored it as shorthand.

"It seems that every practitioner of physics has had to wonder at some point why mathematics and physics have come to be so closely entwined. Opinions vary on the answer. ..Bertrand Russell acknowledged..'Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little.' ..Mathematics may be indispensable to physics, but it obviously does not constitute physics."

Re: the sun may, at its core, be a ball of ice in which not hot, but cold fusion reactions are taking place.

That the theory my ex-wife used on her heart to keep my beer cold...

Whoa! I resemble that statement...

The hottest atoms are the fastest moving. So in a whirl,
gasatoms that are faster move quicker to the outside and leave the slower behind.

voila, cooling inside heating outside.

It may very well be true that the sun is cooler at the core, afterall this isnt at all like an open fire and lot of fusion science is only a few years old.

Dont forget that the pressure in the centre of the sun has got to be enormous, and gas under pressure has its boiling termperature barrier increased. so maybe the inside is solid and cool afterall.
