    There is a hypothesis that says stars aren't made of plasma or gas either, and that they're made of this metallic form of hydrogen. The arguments for this are that the sun is too cool to ionize hydrogen, and that, we'd see spectral peaks, not observe the sun as a 6000K black body.

    • @electricpaper269
      @electricpaper269 2 месяца назад +1

      The inside of a star can be modeled as a photon gas (which produces blackbody radiation). The outer layers have the characteristic hydrogen spectral lines.
      But the sun is more complicated than a simple blackbody, which is why it deviates from the blackbody spectrum, especially at lower wavelengths.

    Metallic hydrogen is the solution not the nightmare. The stars are condensed matter not a gaseous plasma. Dogma is the nightmare impeding science like gravitational collapse of an ideal gas but that requires the open invitation of ideas that are contrary to dogma but it’s much easier to dismiss the growing opposition. Happy New Year.

      @Apistevist people get triggered about religion on RUclips but What really shocked me was the response I got for dare questioning The almighty scientific consensus😇! Within minutes I was being attacked and called out for “destroying the future of America and it’s future generations”🤣. It was so entertaining to me that I couldn’t help but troll these nutz. Told them not to get their spacetime all up in knot. I think all I said was that “spacetime” in my opinion was a tool of measurement and conception and people lost it! Even if you believe the spacetime is an actual material made of 🤷‍♂️, it still satisfies my description. Apparently having access to all the information across the world at your fingertips is making the world dumber!

      Well I'm not a scientist but I got a science degree as a double major because I'm a masochist and obsessed. Science has issues at the moment remaining objective concerning politicized topics. This is mostly in the soft sciences, though there's been some P-Hacking in climatology, which is a very complex field.

    Enjoyed your comments on metallic hydrogen, Chris. You may be interested to know that the question of hydrogen becoming a metal or having metallic properties has been considered for a long time. In the “Scientific American” 27 Feb 1869, there is the following article, ‘Is Hydrogen Gas a Metal?’ The opening sentence reads, “It has long been suspected that hydrogen would ultimately prove to be a metal.”

    Looks at the last images of the Sun , its looks vert like "lava thing" , with colums of material big as the Earth colapsing and crashing in the surface , and the other , the most powefull manification shows a very complex surface , very "liquid" like , in the the center could be metalic hydrogen

    • @edvardnilsson9555

      If it looks like lava it probably is not real. It´s helium with a spot in it that shows that if we´re spinning around it, it spins too in the same pace. (as does the moon).

      No they are the same as far as I know. Or at least you could say that the Pauli Exclusion Principle is the general physical law, and degeneracy pressure is the "force" that is felt as a result.

    Hi Chris, are you able to tell from the JWST spectra of the Wasp-96b exoplanet if there's metallic hydrogen? Since you mentioned that astronomers think they find it in hot jupiter class planets, of which Wasp-96b is a part of?

    • @ChrisPattisonCosmo
      @ChrisPattisonCosmo  Год назад +1

      Hi! That's a great question, and I think the answer is that we should be able to get a good idea with more time. The analysis of the spectra only definitively found H20 but with more time I think they will detect more elements/molecules with certainty. If one of those is hydrogen (it almost certainly should be), then we can use the temperature/pressure of the planet to predict that there is probably metallic hydrogen under the atmosphere, just like we do with Jupiter. Whether it would be enough to "prove" the presence is another thing for now!

    It's because technically matter doesn't really exist. At the very smallest level, the atoms that make up matter, are themselves made of points of oscillating energy (quarks and leptons). If you break down anything and everything in the universe to its smallest possible scale, we're all just energy. So it would make sense that every element you see on the periodic table, SHOULD be able to exist, in some form or another, as every possible state of matter.
