Maybe the sun works like a microwave - the unit itself doesn't get hot, but the food inside does. We'll never know for sure, though, until we construct a sun-sized thermometer.

"For instance, when gases are compressed, as under gravity, they also heat up, and this makes them expand."
When gases are compressed, they increase in temperature; they then give off heat, due to the temperature differential.
Compressing gases doesn't "make them expand." That's a ludicrous statement.
Out of curiosity, did they ever experimentally prove the existence of all three types, or is this just a mathematical construct? Understand, I don't have a dog in this fight, but I hate to see untested equations masqueraded as solutions to difficult scientific problems.
"'If this mass of gas . . . would begin to rotate upon itself, it would necessarily assume a progressively flatter ellipsoidal form as its rotational velocity increased. And . . the Ranque effect would begin to be exerted, therefore producing a cooling at the centre and a heating of the periphery of the ellipsoid.'"
Not much into physics but from what I gather:
If we tell that bag of gas, Jeffink, to rotate, eventually he will freeze up and stfu?
Seems worth a shot....
Infinite Energy Magazine has been in publication since March 1995. It is a technical magazine with editorial outreach to the general public as well. To maintain the highest editorial standards, it is written and edited by scientists, engineers, and expert journalists. It is aimed at pioneering scientists, engineers, industrialists, environmentalists, and investors who are concerned about an exciting R&D area that we believe will change the world dramatically. Infinite Energy is circulated around the world to over 40 countries. And, Infinite Energy is distributed to newsstands in the U.S. and Canada.
We are pleased to offer subscriptions to Infinite Energy Magazine. One year subscriptions are for six issues. The North American price is $29.95, and foreign locations are $49.95.
I think someone heard the term "freezer burn" and got the wrong idea.
I checked out the website.

Well, for his theory to be complete he has got to explain novas and super novas. Interesting idea, if true should our gas giants be hot too? What is the rotation for say Jupitor? Or Saturn.

Your link is invalid, and Kelvin is measured in degrees.
Would you mind specifically explaining why? Thanks.
From the site:
The 13th CGPM (1967) adopted the name kelvin (symbol K) instead of "degree Kelvin" (symbol °K) and defined the unit of thermodynamic temperature as follows:
The kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
From http://www.simetric.co.uk/sibasis.htm - unit "degree Celsius" is therefore equal to the unit "kelvin." (note: not degree Kelvin)
I'd be interested in knowing what standards body has changed it.
Energy conservation. The heat of collapse comes from the gravitational potential energy. If the collapsing cloud was gravitationally bound in the first place--i.e. able to collapse--then there's no way for the collapse to generate enough heat to dissipate the cloud.
Balls don't bounce higher than from where they're dropped.
What that says is that one degree centigrade is the same amount of heat as one degree of kelvin. Kelvin just starts at minus 273 degrees centigrade for its zero temperature, and works up from there.
Geez, Louise! I just love partaking in all the polysyllabic ramblings of the socially deprived. (Too much "alone" time on their hands...)
I'm all for intelligence...and darned if I don't feel awestruck at scientific innovation.
But...come one now - what more do we need to know about the sun than THE DAMN THING'S HOT -- DON'T TOUCH IT!
OK, I feel better now. :-)
