You have agreed that there is a general double bending effect of horizontal radiation under GR. Do you agree that due to interaction between radiation and matter in the Sun's core, this will cause a differential acceleration in the core to what is happening on the surface? (This depends on understanding that the solar core has a much larger proportion of energy or mass in radiation than the surface does).

The reason I am dissatisfied is because you claim that there are general relativistic effects on particles and photons inside the sun, generated by Jupiter. If you would read de Jager and Versteegh, you would find that all possible effects that can be caused by gravity are 10^-4 of the driving forces in the convection zone where the magnetic fields are created.

Have you even estimated what the GR influence of Jupiter is on a particle inside of the Sun, apart from saying that it is twice the classical value?

Now suddenly it is the core - mantle system creating a differential rotation. How do you get this, write down an equation of motion of the particles and/or the photons. I have no idea what kind of interaction of photons and matter you mean here. Do you mean photons being absorbed and reemitted? Or do you meat Compton scattering of the photons off the electrons? or or or or

Words are nice, but like I say, start at the beginning, and say what you want to do.
