Nope. Even a dwarf star would be much larger than Earth.
What would it be? I say it has the properties of a star, therefore it is

It would be a hot, molten planet. It has none of the characteristics of a star. To paraphrase a song I like, "The sun is a mass of incandescent gas. A gigantic nuclear furnace"What would it be?
Just because you say it doesn't make it a fact.I say it has the properties of a star, therefore it is
Theoretical existence would make it fact. Not my saying. You force a star into empirical definition and fail to see a reasonable explanation or allow interpretation for a potential phenomenon. I think the fundamental definition of a star is incomplete. Earth is a planet with life on it's surface that depends on a star the sun to carry forward existence. All stars are therefore necessary for life and stars have life at their surface. As would my theoretical molten planet.It would be a hot, molten planet. It has none of the characteristics of a star.

A molten planet is not made of gas. It is not a nuclear furnace. There is no process of fusion at it's core.
Just because you say it doesn't make it a fact.

Theoretical existence does NOT make it a fact. The word you are looking for is "possibility". In this case, that possibility is nil.Theoretical existence would make it fact. Not my saying.

*I would like to thank space.com member Catastrophe for his patience helping my feeble mind grasp space basics. What a great member. To the moderators we can just consider this as entertainment and if it needs to be moved to a different forum I understand. I think it is a decent series of...forums.space.com
I am sorry that you did not find what you wanted,I challenge empirical systems of belief in hopes to make sense of the universe. I am sorry this had no value to this board.
I can take your name my thanks off of my message. If you want. I was grateful for your time.I have read the link from post #28, and I wish to make it clear that I had never seen it before, that I totally dissociate myself with the content in its entirety, and that nothing in the way that I tried to help the author understand the science, should have, in any way, given rise to or supported the ideas which I can only describe as illogical, unscientific and / or totally devoid of any connection with the current understanding of reality.
Specifically, to name just a little of the content:
Any idea that the Earth could in any way, or at any time in the future, become any sort of star, however distorted the definition.
Any idea that our Sun will become a supernova (rather than planetary nebula and white dwarf) and especially so by the influence of Oumuamua.
Any idea that there is life of any description on the surface of the Sun or any other star.
I may add more as I remember them.

You are welcome to my time. You can leave my name. I appreciate your thanksI can take your name my thanks off of my message. If you want. I was grateful for your time.
It is the boards loss not mine. I would learn more if someone would take the time to defeat me. Or be open minded enough to help me with my theory.I am sorry that you did not find what you wanted,
With Best Wishes
Cat
I understand. I did not intend to embarrass you by association. I am honestly trying to help and move forward my theory and appreciate any help.You are welcome to my time. You can leave my name. I appreciate your thanks
Sorry, imho your ideas just do not fit modern science. I just have to be honest.
Which song is that one?It would be a hot, molten planet. It has none of the characteristics of a star. To paraphrase a song I like, "The sun is a mass of incandescent gas. A gigantic nuclear furnace"

The many responses to your odd ideas is an indication that you are welcome to present ideas. If one doesn't understand the basic physics that makes certain views all but impossible, then it at least gives opportunity for others to test their pedagogical skill. BBT is always a challenge to discuss and the range of opinions is broad, but some views are definitely contrary to established physics. Others remain controversial and/or hypothetical (scientifically).I challenge empirical systems of belief in hopes to make sense of the universe. I am sorry this had no value to this board. My theories get locked out by dogma.
The irony is that static thinking up until around 1920 was that the Universe was explained by the Static Theory. It took a priest (also a physicist) to introduce a solution to the problems astronomers were discovering.If scientific thought is static why does this board exist? Can a new idea happen in the modern world?
I like this modern version. Cool song, though a lot too off-color for this helochromologist.a dum diddy dum diddy deedle deedle dum
diddy dee dee dummy dum diddy dum.
And that would be the song.I like this modern version. Cool song, though a lot too off-color for this helochromologist.
Are you certain the possibility is nil? Can you explain why the possibility is nil? Nuclear fusion button where is it? I will push it for you.Theoretical existence does NOT make it a fact. The word you are looking for is "possibility". In this case, that possibility is nil.

To understand BBT, IMO, it really helps to follow the chronological path that got us to where we are today. I would be pleased to list some of those key moments and why they were so powerful that Einstein changed his mind from his initial opinion that it was "abominable" physics to one he came to accept and admire.
BTW, one of the early problems in cosmology was how to explain the helium abundance, not hydrogen.
Everything in our world has a cycleThe crux is this. Are these fair representations of your ideas:
Any idea that the Earth could in any way, or at any time in the future, become any sort of star, however distorted the definition.
Any idea that our Sun will become a supernova (rather than planetary nebula and white dwarf) and especially so by the influence of Oumuamua.
Any idea that there is life of any description on the surface of the Sun or any other star.
I may add more as I remember them.
If they are, then I can not see these as, in any way, improvements on current thought.
Sorry, but it is like trying to convince us that the Earth is flat. I do not believe that persisting is going to convince us.

Thank you for your response. Helium abundance was due to the nuclear fusion reaction with hydrogen right?The many responses to your odd ideas is an indication that you are welcome to present ideas.

I am not upset. I value your contribution to my knowledge. You are correct. I typed it up to send to you and then just figured I may as well make a new post. I don't really get embarrassed anymore. I just go for it and see what happens."I understand. I did not intend to embarrass you by association. I am honestly trying to help and move forward my theory and appreciate any help."
I did try to help. I thought you would email the summary, but you chose to put it on line. I then had to give a public answer. I am sorry if you are bitter. I did try.

Being open minded is why you moved my other post to outer space.com?Folks here are opened minded. "Physics is physics", no matter how radical the proposed theory is. Still a worthy topic for others to learn from.
No. I thought that to start with, but it is still available here, inserted in your original post.Being open minded is why you moved my other post to outer space.com?
Science is static. I guess.
A new theory can only be science fiction?
