About this listen

 Without the rays of the Sun, there would be no life on Earth. However, we still do not seem to comprehend how our star emits light. While astronomers have been developing a model of gaseous plasma for a century, striking new evidence suggests that the Sun is made of condensed matter: it most likely consists of an exotic form of liquid metallic hydrogen, predicted as early as 1935 and observed recently. These findings will have profound implications for astrophysics and cosmology. The man who almost single-handedly discovered and developed this revolutionary theory is Pierre-Marie Robitaille, a former professor of radiology who set the world record for magnetic resonance imaging in 2000. When he reflected on the physical reasons for his success, he almost could not believe what he had discovered: the history of the Sun must be rewritten.

Alexander Unzicker is a theoretical physicist and award-winning science writer. For the first time, he explains the idea of Robitaille in an accessible way. With many vivid examples, Unzicker takes you on a journey through the physics of the Sun that will make you understand its true nature.
