At the surface the proportion that is radiation and relativistic mass is only a tiny fraction of what it is in the core.
Well, I think you really have to show that to us. As GR is a general theory of gravity I would be surprised if it worked on the core different than on the outer layers, because, in the limit you get Newton and that shows that gravity is only dependent on the mass inside the sphere of the location where you are.

It is like so many ATM proposals, they sound nice if you write up stuff in words, might even make some sense, but then getting a real calculation, well that takes more than the 30 days a thread is open.

Sure you do have a problem. You want something that regular solar models do not have, and they still work.

No, I am not, you write: Finally, you can multiply the COM movements in the N-S direction after multiplying by 0.10.

I am not talking about that 0.1 I am talking about you multiplying the COM movements. There is no such thing, movement is velocity. Velocity is a vector which you can either add to another, or take the inner (dot) product (giving you a scalar) or take the outer (cross) product (giving you a vector perpendicular to both multiplied vectors). So, what are you multiplying here and in what way?

That is quite proper maths.
but not what you wrote.

But the order of magnitude is sufficient to explain temperature variations of the order of those observed over the Solar cycle.
That is nonsense, you can do math without numbers. That is why we invented math, you use symbols. Then you can put in numbers, after it has been checked that your symbolic manipulation is correct, and then we get some estimates.

I think not, because of what we know of the Sun through helioseismology.

No, it does not, however, people are working on dynamo models that are getting better and better. I am not up to date with the current state (maybe Papageno knows about that) and how sunspot come into the model, apart from buoyancy of the magnetic field etc.

I would suggest that such a result might be found within standard magnetic theory of the Sun. If it cannot, then standard physics cannot explain the sunspot cycle. If it can, then my explanation allos the variations in the sunspot cycle length and amplitude to be able to be understood far more clearly than ever before. And also potentially predicted more accurately.
You have show correlations, you have not shown a model and calculations, there is a difference.

That is because I am the first person to mention it.
That is the average value of sin2?

I doubt you are the first person to mention the amplitude of the tide on the Sun created by Jupiter.

You have acknowledged the 2x effect on horizontal photons (in the low field case). Do you also acknowledge the same factor for matter at relativistic velocities? Based on your answer I will again list the exact calculations to be done.
Why wait for my permission? Do the calculation that I showed for light for a massive particle, and then you can convince all people here on the board. And please, then also show that the fact that the particles are relativistic is important (or would the same happen for a non relativistic particle?). I am not going to do that job for you, it was bad enough that I had to give the equations for photons, whereas it is supposed to be your job to give the equations and explanations. I did it, because I needed to correct my mistake, so that was okay, now you are in the ballpark.

Take a particle of rest mass m0 and fly it by the sun at velocity v and look at what Newtonian gravity would give as a deflection. Note that you can do this for a general particle at any velocity v, as the mass will just be γ m0, with γ the Lorentz factor.
Then do the same thing for general relativistic stuff, and then compare the two deflections. I am afraid though that you will no longer be able to work in the small deflection limit, but that should not be a problem.

Have fun
