Liquid Sun, Mercury's Precession, Solar Cycle +Q&A - Dr. P.M.Robitaille, DemystiCon '24, DSPod #243

This presentation was recorded on April 7th, 2024 at the first
DemystifySci conference in Austin TX. Dr. Pierre-Marie Robitaille
presents an overview of his multi-decadal quest to understand the
material basis of the stars. He also reveals a new theory to
explain Mercury's anomalous precession - one that doesn't revert
to warped spacetime or mathematical acrobatics. In the process, a
clever solution to the mysterious solar cycles of magnetism is
revealed, along with a possible mechanism for planetary
formation, and sun spot production. Dr. Robitaille has faced an
onslaught of attacks from the astrophysical community since he
first turned his attention to the sun, perhaps because the
material basis of the sun underpins all astrophysical revelations
of modern times from black holes to the big bang. Like it or not,
the material understanding of the sun appears to be in dire need
of revision, and Dr. Robitaille has some unimpeachable concerns
about the status quo. Tell us your thoughts in the comments!!!

studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also
did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of
molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring
sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS:
