"Liquid Metallic Hydrogen as a Solar Building Block" is an article by Pierre-Marie Robitaille published on 28 April 2019 on Beyond Mainstream, based on his paper Forty Lines of Evidence for Condensed Matter — The Sun on Trial.
Robitaille argues that the Sun presents overwhelming evidence of being made of condensed matter, while standard solar models remain anchored to gaseous plasma. He attributes the persistence of those models to the mathematical elegance of the gaseous equations, the apparent success of the mass-luminosity relationship and the influence of their leading proponents, and holds that no direct physical finding supports a gaseous solar body.
