In article 1c14d5b0-1d87-407c-9dc9-
, says...
However, current theory says that the center
of the Sun (of every star) is the place where
the greatest amount of pressure exists. In
fact: It is at the center of every star that the
fusion that keeps a star "going" is taking
place--exactly because this is the region of
the highest amount of gravitational pressures!

Yes. This may well be due to the sun being made, not of magic ping-pong
balls, but of normal matter which, unlike said magic ping-pong balls,
are affected by forces other than gravity.

You are however, correct in surmising that gravitational forces in the
center of stars are negligible.
