How are these ideas incorporated into concepts like solar density? How are concepts like dark energy incorporated in concepts like solar density? The problem here is that SOME ideas are "looked at", but few if any of these ideas make they way into contemporary calculations.

No one has ever seen the sun electrically interact with the rest of the galaxy.

I have. Any of the solar satellite observations we might make demonstrate this interaction IMO.

We are starting to get an idea of the magnetic interactions cause a few probes are getting out towards the heliopause. The Earth sun interaction is well known also. There is no electric interaction, only magnetic, as the two fields interact.

It is electricity and the flow of electricity that create these magnetic fields in the first place.

Calling the solar wind a current is wrong, it is overall electrically neutral. We would see the effect of a charge buildup if it wasnt.

What are the Northern Lights in your opinion?

Dark matter isnt taken into account in solar models because they work,
|
You mean if we ignore 90% of the mass of the universe and/or any sense of electromagnetic interaction then the results *FIT* with *EXPECTATION*. Therefore they "work".

and the total effect of dark matter is very minimal on a solar scale.
|
How do you know that? What exactly is dark matter anyway, and how is it different from "normal" matter?

There may be a time when the solar measurements will show what the effect of dark matter is (and come to think of it, there may be someone looking for it, it would make a good paper) but the total effect once known would be very small. Consider the size and mass of the galactic halo compared to the size and mass of the sun.

I guess I simply don't share your optimism that the affect will be minimal. If dark matter/energy make up most of the mass of the universe, then it makes little logical sense to me to believe that the affect will be "minimal".
