Scientific paper

Attention is focused on the theoretical puzzle and crisis in solar physics provoked by discrepancies between results of the Davis-Evans neutrino trap experiment and theoretical predictions. The importance of neutrinos in current theory on the sun's heat production mechanisms (including sustained thermonuclear fusion as energy source) is explained and the Davis-Evans Brookhaven neutrino detector is described. A computer model of the solar interior is sketched. Conjectures advanced to challenge existing theory and account for the anomalous neutrino evidence are sketched (thermonuclear fusion reactions downgraded; black hole at center of sun; lower estimate of temperature of solar interior; higher content of heavy elements in solar interior; extremely high central magnetic fields; immiscibility of hydrogen and helium below some critical temperature; neutrino decay by unknown modes)
