The so-called standard solar model and all calculations of the masses and rates of stars are based on arbitrary Eddington's (1919) notions on the stars as on the balls of an ideal gas, which transform in time under the action of inner thermonuclear processes. Are such computational results of applications of these notions, as the "dark matter", "dark energy", "black holes", etc. unconfirmed for several decades, the critical phantoms, which show that the notions of the Universe historical grounds should be reconsidered, similarly to those of the 19th, 18th, and earlier centuries?
The last question is now actual the more so because a new theory of the stellar nature and development is available, which considers the stars as the "cold" knots in the mass/energy space and which includes the processes of formation of all elements over the space around each star and on the basis of radiation-chemical reactions rather than formation of selected elements inside definite stars on the basis of fusion reactions (see here, PFO-CFO Hypothesis).
