KennyG님의 글중 태양 수축에 과한 것. --- 의 바로 밑줄은 창조론자의 주장이며 한간 띄고 다음부터 반박임. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Helmholtz's contraction theory says the sun is < 20,000,000 years. This (suns energy comes from contraction) is decades old and discarded soon after the discovery of radioactivity. See the Scientific American article from August 1989. The German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz formulated this concept around 1869. It has been soundly rebuffed in the last 100 years. The guy who thought that we were detecting 0 (zero) solar neutrinos, thus proving his theory that the sun was shining due to the gravitational energy released as it shrank. (they are there, and have been detected) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun is shrinking by ~5 feet per hour. i.e losing 0.01% per year. 6,000 creation = ~6% shrinkage, but 20,000,000 years ago the sun touched the earth and 100,000 years ago the sun was twice as large (making life impossible) I am interested in how you decide that this is a steady-state system? A "Sun" that large could not possibly have this solar system. A brief discussion of this is found in ``Looking Inside the Sun'', ASTRONOMY, March 1989. Analysis of historical records of eclipses and transits give varying numbers. One result gives 2.25 arcseconds per century, similar to the above figure. Another result gives an upper limit of 0.3 arcsecond per century, but is also consistent with no shrinkage. Two more historical analyses indicate that the sun was a bit larger a century ago than today. Current measurements indicate that the sun is not now shrinking. The long term stability of the size of the sun remains unknown. -. .-. .-. .-. .-. .- | Yoonsoo Hahn (한 윤 수) ||X|||\ /|||X|||\ /|||X|| | Mol. Genet. Lab, Dept. of Biol.
