    The mainstreamers are the people providing the data. They are not in denial or sticking to a single idea without regard for evidence. You link to a page on a popular media website, not the original data. If you bothered to spend the time trying to find out the source of this data you'd be better of. The mainstream media are notorious for their dubious reporting of recently obtained experimental data so unless you are also looking at the original paper which prompted the article you should take everything with a pinch of salt.

    I never read newspaper articles on theoretical physics because they are always full of mistakes, misrepresentations and sometimes flat out lies. If you actually understood any science, rather than your laughable vacuous guessing, you'd realise this and actually look at journals not the media.

    No problem. I actually predicted this shape for dark matter, the only difference is that I believe DM resides at the centre of stars and planets.

    Shaped Inner Core Of The Sun
    Is it possible that the inner core of the sun could be rugby (or american football) shaped? It could explain the mechanism needed for the 100,000 year inclination cycle theory of the ice ages. The oblate shape would need to be as if the ball was balanced for a kick. This is so that more gravitational influence is applied to the core, increasing the tidal effect to extreme levels, affecting the climate due to deep ocean mixing. If not physically this shape, then there is also the possibility of gravitational entropy giving this same effect.

    Not the shape being proposed.

    The computer diagram shows a rugby ball shape sat on it's end as if ready for a kick, just as I said. The term 'beachball' is not the shape they are talking about, since it isn't spherical.

    The name of the shape you're looking for is "prolate ellipsoid."

    Rugby balls have a circular cross section - not the shape being talked about.

    You have no comprehension of why I imagined that shape w.r.t the 100,000 year glacial cycle, have you? It's to do with a decreased x-sectional area when viewed from above or below it's central horizontal plane. When the planet Earth travels above and below the plane of rotation about the Sun, this means less gravitational DM tidal forcing occurs, hence an interglacial.

    Utter nonsense after the original post.

    Thread moved to pseudoscience.

    My own take on this is that this is because the milky way is inside a bubble of Aether created by the flow towards the Black Hole which it surrounds. The bubble has broken at the sides, and matter is being drawn inwards through the holes. That is why a Galaxy is flat. Because the matter can only travel in the X for example. Through the hole, or holes.
