The Sun is at a more positive electrical potential (voltage) than is the space plasma surrounding it - probably in the order of 10 billion volts.
Because of the Sun's positive charge (voltage), it acts as the anode in a plasma discharge. As such, it exhibits many of the phenomena observed in earthbound plasma experiments, such as anode tufting. The granules observed on the surface of the photosphere are anode tufts (plasma in the arc mode).
The Sun may be powered, not from within itself, but from outside, by the electric (Birkeland) currents that flow in our arm of our galaxy as they do in all galaxies. This possibility that the Sun may be exernally powered by its galactic environment is the most speculative idea in the ES hypothesis and is always attacked by critics while they ignore all the other explanatory properties of the ES model.

By the way, I see you all keep going on with this gravitational lensing from black hole nonsense without ever bothering to answer how a black hole is possible in the first place since SR forbids infinite mass point particles.
Crother's page explicitly lays out why black holes are impossible.
Since black holes are impossible, it stands to reason gravitational lenses created by black holes must also be impossible.
Its a load of crap.

The solar wind is a flow of protons and electrons, away from the sun, in all directions, both at the same speed. Now, if the first "major property" of the electric sun model were true, we would expect the positively charged sun to repel positively charged protons, and attract negatively charged electrons. That's what the third "major property" says is happening, but we see that reality is somewhat different. The observation of electrons & protons both being "repelled" by the sun immediately negates any consideration of the sun having a net electric charge that can be detected anywhere in the solar wind flow. If the sun had a net charge that was large enough, then it should repel one charge and attract the other, depending on the sign of the sun's excess charge. But we don't see that.
Not only are the electrons allegedly responsible for heating the sun at its surface remarkably invisible, but there are very strong reasons for insisting that they could not exist in any case. Those reasons are based on some pretty elementary electromagnetism, and it is again remarkable that the champions of the "electric sun" hypothesis seem to have overlooked a good deal of what "electric" actually means.
If you were an electron, moving through intergalactic space towards the sun, what would you see? What would happen as you approach the sun? The first significant indication of the sun's presence that you would encounter is the sun's gravity. A slow moving electron could get caught up by that gravity, and become part of the "halo" that includes the Oort cloud, and probably extends about 1.5 light years from the sun. But a typical interstellar electron will be moving at about 20 km/sec with respect to the sun, well in excess of escape velocity, unless the electron finds its way to the inner solar system, so it's more likely that you would just cruise by and not notice. Of course, an electric sun hypothesizer would hypothesize that you would feel an attraction from the sun's excess positive charge, but we've already shown that to be unreasonable; if an electron at the orbit of the Earth feels no such force, how could one that is a light year away?

Let me say this again. Infinite energy DENSITY is what a black hole has. Infinite energy density IS NOT THE SAME AS INFINITE MASS. The black hole is being COMPRESSED. THE COMPRESSION IS CAUSING THE DENSITY TO INCREASE. THERE IS NO CHANGE IN THE MASS OF THE FORMER STAR. That is why black holes are SMALLER than their original stars. It isn't gaining mass it is compressing the mass it already has.

So you're claiming Einstein's mass energy equivalence principle is wrong then.
Tell me, exactly how much energy is required to compress something into an infinite density.

Oh, you mean this one?
The one that's regular in all of space time?
The one that was corrupted by Hilbert?

So, throw me a number here. Exactly how much "E" are we talking about? There must be a set amount of energy that's required to compress an object into an infinite point mass, no?

Not to nitpick Mnemeth but, Wouldn't E in this case be proportional to P? Surely an object with less P would require less E to be collapsed. . . With E increasing exponentialy as P reaches a critical point and the schwarzschild radius is neared. . . .
Just a lil funnin on this otherwise excellent thread ^^

I see.
So you disagree with Schwarzschild's solution to the Mercury orbit problem then?
You're really hard to follow here.
Just give me some simple answers here.
Do you agree or disagree with Schwarzschild's solution to the Mercury orbit problem?
Do you agree or disagree with E=mc2?
Because if you agree with both of those, then there's no way in hell you can believe in black holes.

I don't agree with that answer. I don't agree with that specific answer because there are a lot of other ways to get to one answer. BUT only one way that goes with all the other answers that we have. SO I DISAGREE.
