Synopsis

This book examines the idea that the Sun's energy is maintained by a cycle of interaction with its surrounding space. The author proposes that gases like hydrogen and oxygen, which exist in space in a very thin state, are drawn towards the Sun's polar regions by its rotation. These gases then heat up and combust, releasing energy in the form of heat. The products of combustion, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide, are pushed towards the Sun's equator and then out into space. In this way, the Sun's energy is constantly being renewed by the combustion of gases drawn in from space. The book challenges the traditional view that the Sun's energy comes from its own internal heat, and it presents a new theory that could change our understanding of how stars work.
