Solar neutrino fluxes do not show a 22-year time dependence, so we

the solar cycle.


So you think the 22-year cycle within the Sun is unrelated to the deep
inner core of the Sun?

Is there no doubt in your mind about that?


Consider how long it takes a photon to get from the core to the surface
of the Sun. I don't recall the number, but it is 1 million years or
so.
