169: Chapter 169: 3500 degrees inside the sun?

Was there really no gravity? Was there really no nuclear fusion? Waves of subversive thoughts kept emerging in the minds of every viewer.

"Damn it, I'm stunned. How do you explain the acceleration of the solar wind?"

"Nuclear fusion energy comes from the inside, so the stuff being ejected should decelerate. Damn, the more I think about it, the scarier it gets!"

"Holy crap, our bro has caught a real bug in the Sun!"

"That's right, my physics teacher never taught me this. Why does the solar wind get faster and faster?"

"Is there any expert who can explain this? I'm starting to panic!"

"Don't kneel yet, wait to see what the experts say!"

At this moment, inside the Principal's office.

The sound of gasps filled the room.

The gazes of Principal Fu, Lao Wang, Xiao Wang, and several other teachers all fell upon Old Yu.

Old Yu frowned, gritted his teeth, and remained silent for a long time before speaking: "What he said is correct; the solar wind continues to accelerate in interstellar space, and current physical models truly cannot explain the observed facts."

"We have many hypotheses in the physics community, such as coronal heating... wave transmission..."

"But to date, there is no reasonable, definitive answer!"

Old Yu's expression was moved, his face full of complexity: "He has indeed pointed out a gap that our physics community has been trying to patch but has never been able to fill."

"I can conclude—many of our understandings in the physics community are wrong; even the Theory of Relativity is becoming increasingly incorrect!"

As he finished speaking, the sound in the office vanished instantly, becoming so quiet you could hear a pin drop!!!

...

Inside the lounge at Huaqing University.

Following Jiang Zhe's revelation, the place was in an uproar.

A student asked anxiously: "Professor Wu, what is going on? Is the solar wind acceleration really unexplainable?"

Professor Wu and Professor Ouyang exchanged glances, both seeing the gravity on each other's faces.

He closed his eyes deeply and let out a long breath, "Yes, in a vacuum without external force, the solar wind should not continue to accelerate."

"Our current physical theories simply cannot explain it!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the students looked at each other, their expressions changing ten times in five seconds, filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Professor Ouyang took over from Professor Wu, his tone somewhat agitated, "See, this is where the problem lies—when a solar nuclear fusion model requires many patches to fix a basic phenomenon, we realize that we are always just patching things up."

"Just as Xiaoyu's brother said before, let's go back to the essence—is it possible that we were wrong from the very beginning?"

Li Mo, who was standing nearby, said, "Professor Ouyang, you are shaking the foundations of solar physics."

Professor Ouyang responded without the slightest concern: "Science advances precisely through shaking and rebuilding."

The students listened, dumbfounded, their beliefs beginning to waver.

Because, with existing science, the solar wind acceleration simply cannot be explained!

Using Jiang Zhe's Time Stream...

That would be easy to explain!!!

...

On the other side, inside Qingfeng Temple.

Zheng Ming was on pins and needles, his face very grave, "Professor Zhang, give me a straight answer. With our current science, is it really impossible to explain the solar wind?"

"If it can't be explained, then the Sun might really not be nuclear fusion!!"

The confidence on Professor Zhang's face wavered, replaced by a hint of gravity.

He was silent for 2.5 seconds before slowly shaking his head, "It really can't be explained—the acceleration of the solar wind is a frontier, and also a recognized major problem."

Upon hearing this, Celestial Master Zhang and Wang Chongyang were both stunned. Even a top astrophysics expert had admitted it...

However, very quickly, Professor Zhang's tone became firm again: "But this absolutely does not mean his Time Stream is correct; it just means that our physics cannot explain the solar wind."

"It is perfectly normal for there to be unsolved mysteries in science!"

"I believe the answer must be within the existing framework!"

Just as before, the atmosphere inside Qingfeng Temple gradually became heavy and serious.

Zheng Ming was somewhat limp, his face pale.

He had originally brought Professor Zhang Qinian here to debunk him, but as it turned out, the more he debunked, the more it seemed like Xiaoyu's brother was the real deal?

"Impossible, that should be impossible!" He shook his head repeatedly, indicating he couldn't believe it.

Inside the big screen, in the villa living room, on the sofa.

Watching Xiao Yu's astonished expression, Jiang Zhe pointed his finger at the scented candle on the table, "Xiao Yu, stop thinking about the solar wind acceleration problem. Let's delve deeper into the Sun itself."

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and collected herself.

"Look at this candle now, a very basic question."

He picked up the scented candle and lit it, "Where is the temperature of the candle flame the highest, where is it medium-high, and where is the lowest temperature?"

Xiao Yu was a bit dazed by Jiang Zhe's question; she was still caught up in the possibility that the Sun was not nuclear fusion, but she still subconsciously answered: "The outer flame is 1,400 degrees, the middle flame is at 1,000 degrees, and the flame core is only 600 to 800 degrees. We learned this in junior high school physics."

Jiang Zhe nodded, picked up the tablet, and pointed the Sun on the display screen at Xiao Yu.

"According to current observations, the Sun's corona layer has a temperature as high as 1 million degrees Celsius, while its photosphere layer, which is the Sun's surface, has a temperature of only 6,000 degrees Celsius."

He paused for a moment, his gaze falling on Xiao Yu, and asked word by word: "So, what about the Sun? What does its outer, middle, and inner temperature structure resemble?"

Xiao Yu was confused for 2.5 seconds, and then her beautiful eyes couldn't help but widen. Goosebumps suddenly broke out all over her body, and a creepy feeling washed over her!

The Sun's corona is a million degrees Celsius, but the surface is only 6,000 degrees Celsius!

This temperature distribution had a weird similarity to the candle flame—the structure where the outer flame is the highest!

If we follow this analogy...

Then the inside of the Sun absolutely cannot be 15 million degrees Celsius as supported by the nuclear fusion theory!

Not only her, but even the viewers couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb, holding their breath, as if an incredible answer was about to emerge.

You have to know, why does a traditional model of solar nuclear fusion insist on having a core temperature of 15 million degrees?

That is because only by assuming such extreme temperature and pressure exist inside can the [Sun is nuclear fusion] model barely be mathematically established!

As for the core being 15 million degrees Celsius???

That is completely a... disguise used by scientists to make the Sun is nuclear fusion theory self-consistent!!!

An incredible, mind-boggling thought emerged in the minds of all the viewers, teachers, and experts!

"Steel Rain, damn it!"

Following Xiao Yu's words, a tsunami-like wave of bullet comments flooded the livestream.

"Holy shit!"

"No, something's not right. I think I've understood something terrifying!"

"Hot on the outside and cold on the inside. The Sun is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and the candle is also hot on the outside and cold on the inside!!"

"Now nuclear fusion requires a super-hot core... is there a possibility that the core temperature isn't 15 million degrees at all?"

"The more I think about it, the scarier it gets. Could that 15 million degrees really be a parameter made up to justify the nuclear fusion theory?"

"Scientists needed a high-temperature core to make the nuclear fusion model work—and it wasn't because they observed a high-temperature core that they came up with the equation, damn it!"

"I kneel to our bro. If the analogy holds, the inside of the Sun doesn't need such a high temperature at all. Maybe the internal temperature of the Sun is very, very low, so low that we can't even imagine?"

"Brothers, calculate quickly—according to the candle's ratio, what should the Sun's core temperature be?"

As a bullet comment dropped, everyone quickly calculated simultaneously; even Ouyang Baili, Professor Wu, Old Yu, and Professor Zhang began to calculate.

[Candle: Low-temperature flame core 600 degrees → Medium-temperature middle flame 1,000 degrees → High-temperature outer flame 1,400 degrees.]

[Sun: Core temperature unknown → Sun surface 6,000 degrees → Ultra-high temperature corona layer 1 million degrees.]

[What is the Sun's core temperature?]

An answer that would make all physical common sense tremble was about to emerge.

Just at this moment.

Jiang Zhe's heavy voice spread from the big screen to televisions, mobile phones, and computers across the country.

"Xiao Yu, if we follow this analogy, the Sun's core temperature will absolutely not be the 15 million degrees in the nuclear fusion model."

"Because the candle's temperature from low to high is—600, 1,000, 1,400."

"And the Sun's temperature is actually no different from a candle; it must be—three question marks → 6,000 → 1 million degrees."

"After a simple analogy, Xiao Yu, you should realize—the inside of the Sun is even far lower than half of the 6,000-degree surface temperature we see, or even lower."

"A speculation based on this temperature structure is..."

He paused for a moment, looking at Xiao Yu's hand covering her lips and her face of disbelief.

"The Sun's core, in all likelihood... doesn't even reach 3,500 degrees!"

Although the viewers, teachers, and experts had been mentally prepared, when they actually heard Jiang Zhe say this answer...

An indescribable, bone-chilling feeling that made it feel like their skulls were being blown off, a feeling of having their hearts soar, washed over them like an epiphany!
