I personally suspect Dr. Manuel's going to get pelted with rocks. You'd think we'd have noticed by now if the Sun had more iron than it does hydrogen. Also, you'd expect a supernova remnant to be something dense like a neutron star or a black hole. There are supposedly lots of sunlike stars out there. In other words, he seems to be following one particular line of evidence with blinders on: xenon and helium isotope mixes in space objects.

He seems to have made this theory his "life's work" for the last several decades. I do find the data about the strange xenon interesting though, but the minimal info I've read hasn't convinced me that he's correct. There is SO MUCH new data pouring in from all sorts of related fields that apply to the cosmology that it will probably take years to process and even begin to get a true picture of the universe, if we can find it.

The big question that I don't see answered is one of time frames. There are about 10 or so supernova remnants within a kiloparsec. Why don't we see star formation around them? Most supernova remnants show large voids about the central radio source (where there is one). How long does it take for this to occur? Unfortunately, the article is not very clear about it. His web page is not much help either. Sadly, it reads like some of the letters that we occasionally receive from various people with some very strange ideas, and very poor grammar.
