The Ping-Pong Ball and The Sun / S D Rodrian

Once the ping-pong ball reaches the center
of the Sun it will achieve gravity equilibrium
and lie forever suspended there (at the exact
center of a great hollow).

Conclusions from the above
thought experiment:

There is either a huge cavity at the center
of the Sun, or certainly a cavernous region
therein where there isn't as much Sun-
matter as there must be surrounding it.

Rather than a cavity, the region is one of zero gravity!

According to the current laws of gravity.

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!

The pressure assures that nucleii are closest to one anotther there. Fusion
could be self-regulating... If it gets too hot, the core expands, moderation
occurs and the fusion slows, etc. No thermostat required.

These are two self-excluding viewpoints:

The vacuum concept is the one that does not occur, per se. In its place is
the Zero gravity field, which allows for mixing with no gradients
interfereing, an intersting cauldron.

Or fusion DOES indeed take place
at the center of the stars because the center
of every star is its region of maximun
pressure--and therefore the effect of
gravity is "somehow" negated/voided
inside the stars. *

My recollection og vraity theoryin bodies is as you say maximum at the
durface and dcreases linearly into the core center

Which is it? SEE:

Very long winded. I never got to any core punch line.

Back to cores. We have a similar dilemma with the core of our earth. We feel
pretty ceertai n that there is a lot of iron down there, but the
distribution of that, and ligher, and havier substances is still
undtetermined by our collective scientific society. Trouble is that if we
(they) know very little about it, then Mim's the word, and nothing gets
done.

Continuing on that thought experiment, It seems that gradients and
stratification is for the mid and upper levels, but not for the lower levels
toward the center. So all heavy atoms are down there, mixed in a soup. Radon
gas is the only tracer from those environs besides heat and magma (the light
stuff) This indicates residual decaay. Originally, I was of the opinion tha
there is a farly large dose of heavier atoms that are still on their decay
curve from original earth coalescence. This seems seems unhandy from the
standpoint that because of the mesured age of the earth (hundreds of
millions of years), it's incredible that any decay tails at all are still
meaningful. But it is a long way from a nuclear exposion to just some melted
iron. Has anyone made the calculation? The only other option is that there
are daisy chain reactions in play; where "This" begets "That", and now
"That" has a new lease on life. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

All right now, I knew this is where I'd
eventually end up: Listen up! Once there
was a toy maker named Geppetto ...
