yes, after reading your links (which unlike him I am capable of actually understating) I now know I was wrong about that one. I learn something new every day.
But his arrogant assertion that they (scientists) simply have absolutely "no idea" (just because he doesn't ) is still false since, as those same links clearly show, they still can make and have made scientific measurements to narrowing down the possible range of possible chemical compositions of the sun's core because the resulting data from such measurements puts all sorts of constraints on it. That is just the way good science works.

Some people just doesn't get that it is a large span between 'have no clue at all' and 'know everything til the last detail'. Science doesn't say that it knows everything, but that's far from don't knowing anything at all.

Those who says that 'science doesn't know anything because they don't know everything' just show their own lack in scientific methodology.

The ability to admit that he is wrong in something is a sign of strength, not weakness. Honor to that!

Can't you find any other source of info?

I won't waste my time; if you are too stupid to understand info in one link then you are too stupid to understand info in any link.
Humy is lying again.

The wikipedia link does not prove what he claimed at all. Humy often resorts to wikipedia when he cannot find proof of his false claims. Then when I call him on it (justifiably so) he hurls an insult at me in a pathetic display of an ad hominem attack.

Humy has failed again, but only because he could not control his arrogance and over the top ego.

There you go lying again.
Anyone can guess by making an estimate. I merely said they have no proof. I may have said they don't know for sure or something similar, but you know that. Then after you arrogantly claimed there was proof you dishonestly claimed the wikipedia link you posted proved your assertion when it did not.

All you had to do was stay silent on the matter instead of making bombastic claims that I was wrong and you would prove it. You didn't prove anything and now you have only yourself to blame for your embarrassing yourself. You can still earn the respect of your peers on here, but first you must stop lying and insulting others when things don't go your way.

There must be a big iron core in this star.

The latest gravitational wave detection was from two merging neutron stars, it seems that is where gold and platinum and other heavy elements come from:

Here is a long talk about gravitational wave discovery:
