  • 3:43: people argue that the free electrons do not come from hydrogen, but from other substances, ok. Still, this is not enough to explain the entire light production.
    This video argues that the solar spectrum alone is overwhelming evidence for a Sun consisting of condensed matter. Moreover, it is certainly not a "plasma", as many claim.

    Be careful: this video is misleading. Perhaps the main physics error is the direct use of the Boltzmann probability distribution, which does not tell us directly what the ionization level is. To do that, better is what is known as the Saha equation. The Saha equation shows that ionization arises not only from temperature, as is the focus in this video, but also density. Gases can become ionized at both high and low density, for any temperature. I recommend examining numerical calculations based on the Saha equation where species population is plotted versus density; temperature is only half the story. However, even Saha does not apply to the part of the sun that we see because Boltzmann (in this video) and Saha (which is derived from it) assume thermodynamic equilibrium. [For the technically inclined: the error made in the video arises because Boltzmann gives relative probabilities, not absolute probabilities. Saha gives ratios of populations accounting for entropy, which is what is needed. See around the 13:25 mark in the video.] It is well understood that the surface of the sun and surrounding atmosphere are not in such an equilibrium because of the intense photon source that is the sun. Saha shows that the physics is much more complex, but it needs to be extended: while the quantum states are in a steady state equilibrium, it is not thermal equilibrium. The type of equilibrium is called, not surprisingly, "coronal equilibrium"; this is oddly not mentioned in this video - look it up. As for whether the sun is a plasma, it most certainly is. To understand this we need to define what a plasma is and understand the range of matter that is in this state. A plasma is a state of matter that has properties derived from free charges. For example, a metal is often considered a plasma. A plasma can be very dilute, as in interstellar space; or, it can be denser than a solid, as in stars and fusion energy experiments here on Earth. Plasmas can be gas like, as in the sun, or strongly coupled and show liquid-like or even crystalline behavior, as in a white dwarf. Some good rules of thumb for testing whether something is a plasma are: is it a good conductor, or does it respond strongly to a magnetic field? [Another technical note: can a plasma be condensed matter? Condensed matter implies that the matter condenses, which we associate with bonding. In most plasmas, there is no bonding. But, since a metal can be considered a plasma, and they bond, a metal is both a plasma and condensed matter.] Finally, what about the radiation? Starting inside the sun, we have a fully ionized, mostly hydrogen plasma that is extremely dense. There can be no line radiation; the entire sun is filled with radiation that lies on a continuum. This radiation arises primary from electron-proton collisions and is called Bremsstrahlung ("braking radiation"). This form of radiation is "free-free" in the sense that no discrete bound energy levels play a role: electrons go from one continuous free state to another continuous free state, emitting radiation as a consequence. This continuous radiation diffuses toward the surface of the sun where it escapes, some of it toward us and our detectors. As that continuous radiation passes through the colder atmospheres of the sun and Earth, parts of it are absorbed: this is exactly what we see -- a continuous spectrum with discrete absorption lines. It is a very beautiful thing: search for "spectrum from the sun" and choose Images. There is a great TED-Ed video called "Solid, liquid, gas and ... plasma?", which is a great introduction to plasmas if you want more.

      Forgive me but I can’t tell if you are agreeing with him or disagreeing with him. It seems you agree that plasma can exhibit “liquid-like” behavior.

      @@G3UDO There are parts I disagree with and parts I agree with. The parts I disagree with are that we don't understand the sun and what it is composed of. We understand the sun extremely well and all scientists agree on the sun: it is one of the most studies objects in the universe. There is nothing new here and there is no controversy. We completely understand the spectrum we see here on Earth. Regarding your question, the plasma in the sun (and most stars) in "liquid-like" in a certain, limited sense: the particles are quite correlated (and maybe strongly coupled), like a liquid. But, there is a key difference in that plasmas, despite these liquid-like correlations, are very much not like a true liquid in that they don't form a surface, there is no surface tension. (I am using the basic definition of a liquid that separates it from a gas, which cannot form a surface and therefore fills its container. The plasma in the sun would fill the universe it it were not for gravity holding it in one place. In other words: dense plasmas, and strongly coupled plasmas, are "liquid-like", but they are not true liquids. My main point is that inside of the sun there are no discrete lines (it's bremsstrahlung) and that star-sized continuous spectrum is what emerges at the sun's surface, some of which is absorbs by gases between the inner surface and our detectors - no mystery here.

    • @michaelmurillo1484
      @michaelmurillo1484 5 месяцев назад +14

      @@G3UDO No, I am just using surface tension as an example because most people learn it that way. The old idea that there is solid, liquid, gas and plasma is very outdated. We now know of many different phases of matter: superfluids, liquid-crystals, various magnetic phases and so on. The way we think about phases of matter is in terms of order parameters, which are usually connected with symmetries. In fact, one could argue that plasmas are not a phase of matter in the modern, true sense. Here is how you can see that. Suppose you have any phase of matter of your choosing, and it is at finite temperature. If anything is at finite temperature, including you, there is a finite ionization, however small that might be. And, because we can't reach exactly absolute zero, everything would be a plasma by definition. That is, there isn't some phase transition when matter suddenly becomes a plasma, unlike freezing when a liquid or gas becomes a solid. So, to your question: what is a liquid and what is a plasma? Plasma physicists have a clear definition, and one I alluded to in my first post: the properties of the material need to "care" that it is ionized. Although you, and I, are partially ionized, we don't consider ourselves to be plasmas because it doesn't affect the properties of our tissues, hair and so on. A test you could perform is this: put a magnetic near something - does it response strongly? if no, not a plasma. A great example that physicists like to debate is a flame: is that a plasma? Definite disagreement among even plasma physicists on this this! But, that's fine because it really doesn't matter what we call it - it is what it is. Same is true for a "liquid" - what definition do you use? The usual definition is different symmetry from a solid, which has a very low symmetry, and has a triple point (which implies it has a surface tension and you are within the critical point). But, what if you are beyond the critical point - what is that?! The point is that modern physics takes a nuanced approach to thinking about what a "phase of matter" is. going back to this video, what we know about stars is that they are very dense; as a result, the correlations among the particles is strong, and resembles a liquid (this is quantified by the pair correlation function); but, if you removed gravity, the particles would not stick together, they would drift apart. (In fact, the pressure is very high and it would explode. This sometimes happens when the pressure exceeds what gravity can hold back.)

      I’m not going to pretend I’m well versed on this subject but reading into it I see there are exotic properties measured in this field, giving the plasma attributes that both resemble a gas and a solid simultaneously. Given this fact wouldn’t a natural next step be to consider the phenomenon as something that might resemble a liquid, even as just a thought experiment? I don’t see why that hypothesis wouldn’t be valid. There are far more people dismissing that than there are people trying to consider it and I don’t get it.

    Dear Unzicker Sir,
    To form a crystal lattice, bond formation should occur. Since hydrogen has only one electron in the outer most shell, it can form a covalent bond (1s-1s) to form a molecule. Generally, to form a cubic/hexagonal lattice at least 3 or more covalent bond formation should take place. The theory of bond formation in atomic orbitals limits the hydrogen lattice. It is possible that at such high temperatures degeneracy occurs and some new form of physics is taking place.

This opaque wall was the inner part of the pellet that then compressed to extreme pressure and temp because laser energy could not get through the plasma wall and was blasting away the outer part of the pellet creating a shock wave compressing the inner part of the pellet.

    Yes, the normal ideas of what a gas is, does not relate to the sun (I think). Even over-heated, because a gas ball cannot exist without magnetic forces. Thus, even so, there must be (electro) magnetic powers, holding that not-gass (or a mass) into its grip. On the other hand such a ball of heated material must send out a continuous spectrum, that seems logical to me. But does plasma also not have a continuous spectrum? Does it depend on the gasses that are involved? That seems logical to me, because the ionization of gas "X" will give another spectrum compared to the ionization of gas "Y". Perhaps the magnetic forces that hold the plasma in its space also have an effect on the strayed out spectrum? For the biggest part it depends on the molecular gasses structure, as far as I know. Correct me if I am wrong. The broadness of the spectrum (only an idea) will (of course or perhaps) depend on the temperature of the plasma and the gasses involved and captured inside that magnetism (I think...).

    Yes, each individual states likelihood of being filled is given by the Boltzman factor.
    We neglect the density of states though.
    In the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution for example, we need to consider that there are ever more high energy states. You may remember the derivation considering momentum spheres.
    More phase space, more microstates ...
    More entropy from a chemists point of view.
    The thermal ionisation is analogous to dissolution of salts. That can happen spontaneously, even if the process is endothermic, because the entropy is higher.

    Brilliant exposure; pun semi-intended. Liking and subscribing. What I like about you is that you don't seem compelled to have an answer now, at any cost (even at the cost of lying or nonsense), like most scientists seem to be. I love it when someone exposes our ignorance without an agenda. The only problem is that then people WITH an agenda jump in to fill the void with their effluent; but that's another problem. I have a few questions:
    Question 1: I'm not a physicist but I'm wondering what's the Brownian motion average velocity for these hydrogen atoms at 6000k or whatever temperature ... Is there any chance that the spread in the spectrum is caused by atomic scale Doppler effects?
    Question 2: States of matter are scale-dependent, as defined ... For example, if you were a giant, about an AU tall, and a second of your time was like a dozen millennia to Earth, you would experience the material of our planet as a liquid. It would feel to your touch like a tiny drop of lava, perhaps. ((No, wait; the Earth IS mostly 'lava'; bad example; let's switch to Mars or Pluto, or some big asteroid for that matter: if a long span of time felt like milliseconds, the material would seem liquid to your giant fingers.)) Could it be that there are more than one way states of matter vary with scale, and that the material of the Sun is like a gas/plasma mixture at the small scale but a liquid or a solid (or a gel) at larger scales? Perhaps the magnetic lines give the Sun more structure than we might think. Just throwing that on the table, whatever worth it may be.
    Question 3: Alternatively, could it be that there are liquid and/or solid layers internal to the Sun? But if so, how does that play out with seismic wave propagation measurements of the Sun, of which I've been superficially aware for many years?
    Question 4: And now for a real question, what exactly is necessary for spread spectrum emission? Materials that absorb hydrogen lines and re-emit the energy in multiple lines? "Black body radiation" never told me much about how radiation works in detail. Has there been an effort to analyze what black body means and how closely hydrogen gas or plasma resembles a black body, and if so how? And how does the Sun compare to other stars? I mean, we judge the distance of stars by Doppler effect, but to measure Doppler effect we need recognizable patterns of spectral lines; no? Does the Sun fail to provide such patterns? Or does it present a mixture of spectral lines and wide spectrum noise overlaid?
    EDIT: Question 5: Do you even read the comments section? I don't see your replies anywhere. In one of the comment threads below, ShivaTD420 wrote, *_"the plasma in the core emits gamma radiation. Which is a high energy photon. These photons scatter taking 170k years to reach the surface. During scattering lower energy level photons are emitted in the millions. By the time the photons reach the surface you get the average of 6k of continuous spectrum",_* which sounds to me like a sound explanation.
    EDIT2: I just read in a comment that in some previous video you said the Sun is made of liquid metallic hydrogen. So I retract what I said about your exposing an inconsistency without an agenda. I hope I'm wrong now.

    You're right, hydrogen at 6000 K is not technically considered a plasma. While it's certainly hot enough for significant hydrogen ionization (around 85% at that temperature), full ionization, a defining characteristic of a plasma, doesn't occur until much higher temperatures, around 10,000 K for hydrogen. At 6000 K, hydrogen exists in a partially ionized state often referred to as a "partially ionized gas" or "non-ideal plasma." In this state, some hydrogen atoms have lost their electrons, creating free electrons and protons, but a significant portion remains neutral. This gives the material properties distinct from both fully ionized plasmas and ideal gases. But I want ask you that if
    Actually sun's temprature is not stable at 600 k? Is it fluctuates?
    The Sun's temperature actually varies depending on the layer we're talking about. Surface (photosphere): This is the visible layer we see, and it has an average temperature of around 5,505 Kelvin (K). That's hot enough to melt almost any element on Earth!

Too many models (flawed ones) keep using an externally compressed system as their foundation & wonder why observations are not matching predictions in cosmology. One of which, is the standard solar model.
      In brief, light won't be making nearly as long of a journey (meaning less interactions, meaning extremely unlikely they would form a blackbody spectrum). That's the other piece of the puzzle. Similarly, other models use points to represent astronomical objects and incorrectly calculate E per unit area as they assume in their models that light radiates straight from the center (inverse square law) and wonder why the observed emissions are always higher than calculated ones.

      In other words, hydrogen effective radius is scalable in proportion with the deBriglie wavelength model of spectral emission.
      The larger the effective radius of hydrogen electron orbtial, the longer the wavelength of emitted light.
      The longer the wavelength, the higher the red shift. From my 1969 high school physics textbook by Taffel.

Which was undertaken to prove the Electric Sun hypothesis, which it appears to have done so very successfully. The Electric Sun model requires only a plasma atmosphere so in that respect it concurs with your conclusions. However, clearly the problem is with the Standard Model.

    I'm on the fence when it comes to your expertise on this. First and foremost, you didn't mention spectral broadening at all, which contributes to a more continuous looking spectrum in any situation where particles are moving/colliding with high velocities. A deltav equivalent to 6000K broadens a spectral line by ~ 300%.
    Also, i'd expect you do adress the density of the plasma/gas at various distances form the core. The core is thought to have a pressure of 200 GigaPascal, the photosphere still on the order of a millions of Pascals (10bar), so why would you assume the spectral lines would be similar to those of sparse gases?

    • @TheMachian
      @TheMachian  5 месяцев назад

      Temperature broadening: No. 6000 K correspond to about 10000 m/s, v/c= Delta lambda/lambda is thus 3.3*10^(-5). I am talking about the photosphere. The pressure there is not measured directly. In the liquid metallic hydrogen model, it must be assumed much higher.

      @@TheMachian _The pressure there is not measured directly. In the liquid metallic hydrogen model, it must be assumed much higher._
      The pressure can't just be assumed to be higher - you have to show that the required pressure is plausibly sustainable at the photosphere. The higher layers of the sun have to be pressing down hard enough on the photosphere to keep it in place, otherwise, the pressure below just flings away the photosphere. That's a problem because the higher layers of the sun are even more tenuous.
      The pressure at the photosphere may not be measured directly, but there are definite bounds on its probable value.

  • @MisterrLi
    @MisterrLi 5 месяцев назад +1

    Since we can't measure the matters in the sun directly, we have to go with indirect measurements. An article indirectly about this non-plasma theory, "What in the World Is Metallic Hydrogen?" can be found using Google. (Sorry, new rules on this site doesn't allow the link). If the sun can be shown to be made of metallic hydrogen of some kind, that would be a sensational discovery indeed. So, because it would lead to so many theories about the sun and many other things in the universe being radically different than what science tells us, we also have to ask for very strong proof for this theory to be a fact. A lot of different things can generate a continuous spectrum, so there seems to be more than one alternative theory for that. Metallic helium isn't studied in great detail so far either, and other stuff could theoretically produce the same solar output so to speak, so maybe we can wait for a more robust explanation when we have more data about the properties of metallic hydrogen and other relevant stuff hypothesized to make up the matter that causes the continuous spectrum of the sun (at least to a great extent).

It took Einstein to predict the orbit of Mercury, and in so doing made the relativistic corrections to the timings on the GPS system work. If you have ever used GPS then tracking was thanks to the ability for scientists to adopt new predictive models.. When new facts come to light, scientists change their minds.

    It may not be a plasma, but wouldn't the pressure of the sun bring hydrogen to a liquid or supercritical form at some depth? As you said in the liquid form hydrogen would indeed emit the expected blackbody radiation. Then closer to the surface hydrogen would become gaseous, and as you said in this form it would only have narrow bands of absorption, letting the blackbody radiation emitted in the lower parts go through uninterrupted. And since in these specific bands hydrogen is a good absorber and a good emitter, it would just reemit what it absorbs until the radiation finally escapes in space, giving the blackbody profile we see.

      For starters, if you also use your "calculator", you will discover the densest part of the sun is not in the center. There is a geometric vector difference between an externally pressurized system (say the pressure of water on a sphere in the ocean) and a system of which it's constituents pull each other together (cumulative gravitational attraction of constituent bits of matter) - a self compressing system. In the latter, the highest density zone will be a shell between the center and the outside. This can be proven with a vectorized finite element model. All too often physicists keep making the same assumption equating the first type with the second type. We did this in engineering school to help a budding physicist (in Fortran) model gravitational compression, but because our results were in disagreement with the consensus science, our computer model was rejected outright. Imagine that!

    • @davestorm6718
      @davestorm6718 5 месяцев назад +1

      The latter model also explains why stars explode (when you think about it - a shell eventually becomes unstable as it grows with the star's growth and becomes affected via asymmetric gravitational attraction from neighboring stars (possibly a large Jupiter sized planet), then collapses (implodes) and explodes outward. This is buried in the astronomical data! This also explains why a star cannot become so dense as to create a singularity (that's simply not possible).

At the very least it is incorrect to argue it is "condensed matter" without any plasma component instead of the actual fact that you have evidence that indicates a condensed matter component - as the motility is evidence for a plasma component.
