Sorry if this has been discussed before. This person believes, on the basis of watching videos, that the sun has a "solid ferrite surface".

Somehow, I don't think so...

It's been discussed far too often.
Here is a nice long thread about the subject
And a much smaller version with links.
Edit to add: Welcome to the boards
Don't feel bad when this thread is locked.

There's a matching thread here on Universe Today that's still going on, if you want to jump into a discussion. However, it's been pretty well exhausted on this board, because there doesn't seem to be anything to his argument except "I think that's what it is, so it must be so!" :roll:

what was that i read some years ago about enormous dimonds in some stars?
Or did I dream it?
[I know that this doesn't include the surface of the star]

Jovian-style planets? Or even those as small as Uranus??Originally Posted by Frog march
"Diamond" is merely a particular solid form of carbon (with some tolerance for 'impurities'), so an interesting physics/materials science question is "under what astrophysical conditions could 'enormous diamonds' (>a million tonnes, say) form?" Perhaps some folk have answered this, and one such answer is 'in the "rocky" core of gas giant planets' 8)

Crystalized white dwarf?

Thanks, that was a good laugh
I remember to have read somewhere another genius affirming that the surface of the Sun is liquid. Maybe i can find the link

now, it would be nice that the surface was made of candy. Yum

Crunchy outside, creamy, molten plasma on the inside.

And, unlike the many food-like products on which these words may be found, for the Sun this is, well, to borrow the title of another thread, "Simply Irrefutable"!

Yea, burnt out stars that have already passed through the red giant stage and shed the bulk of their atmospheres.

Quite a find!Crystalized white dwarf?

Remind me to sell my stock in DeBeers before word gets out...
I do think it's very intriguing how geologists were able to tell it'd crystallized due to the observed ringing. Now that's some progress!
Fortunately, all I have to do is wait 7 Billion years and I'll be able to go pick a chunk of diamon off our own sun.
