For example, the standard model of the Sun as composed of gas is so
inaccurate that it requires countless complex explanations without
getting to the bottom of it. Unzicker's book The Liquid Sun makes it
clear that the Sun is liquid metallic hydrogen. Rather than scuttling
opponents, the establishment censors them and defends itself by
deplatforming them. People aren't prepared to risk differing much in
very fundamental ways as their careers are at risk. That is why it is
well known that big breakthroughs are often made by people so
phenomenally successful they can take big risks or by mavericks who risk
little. Norman Lockyer was phenomenally successful and pioneered
archaeoastronomy, although he made some ridiculous mistakes while
delving into Egyptology.
