      Indeed. I’m pretty sure whatever is being communicated is probably interesting, but I can barely grasp it.

        I think (and IANA astrophysicist) that they are saying because of the density of the sun, the forces of gravity are so strong at the core, that time dilation occurs, making time at the core pass more slowly than time at the surface. Over billions of years of existence, that adds up.

      They both formed at the same time, none came first.

      Due to general relativity and the immense gravity inside the core of the sun it is in fact 39,000 years younger compared to the outside where time flows faster.

        Oh. You’re one of the “time speeding up and slowing down” guys. Oh my. Yeah, that’s a real problem. What’s your take on wormholes?
