Pierre Marie Robitaille returns to challenge one of the most foundational assumptions in modern physics: that black body radiation is independent of the material producing it. This assumption, introduced by Kirchhoff in 1859 as a mathematical derivation rather than an experimentally verified law, has corrupted astrophysics ever since — because true black body radiation requires a physical lattice to absorb, thermalize, and re-emit radiation, and gases simply cannot do this. Yet mainstream astrophysics treats stars, which it models as gases, as perfect black body emitters. Robitaille proposes that the sun's photosphere must instead be a condensed metallic hydrogen plasma, draws on his MRI background to show this to be true, and demonstrates that black body radiation is the only physical process for which no one has ever identified the underlying mechanism — a gap with consequences stretching from the study of stars, all the way to the foundations of modern cosmology Part 2: https://youtu.be/Hf-sKeeWaeY The Keating Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbeNoN63BUY PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysci PARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0b HOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!
