An Explanation for some of the Heating of the Sun’s corona (- that should also be seen on other stars).

1 Mass

Presently, we do not yet know what determines the rest mass of a particle. I propose that if we see the particle as a bundle of contained wave energy, then its mass is a measure of the frequency or speed of its waves.

2 General Relativity

According to GR, when an object or particle leaves (goes up from) a gravity field then there should be two relativistic effects. One is that its mass should decrease and the other is that its speed of time should increase. However, according to the description of mass as a bundle of wavy energy these two effects would be contradictory. The speeding up of its waves should increase its mass and not decrease it as required by GR.

3 Quantum Physics and the Uncertainty Principle

A solution to this problem is enabled by the uncertainty principle, which says the exact position of a particle cannot be determined. Instead of the contained waves in the particle speeding up (making it more massive when it should be less) the uncertainty principle allows the (uncertain) position of the particle to be speeding up. In effect this means that instead of the particle becoming more massive it becomes hotter.

a) Note that this heating effect applies continuously as the particle moves away from the gravity field. By the same reasoning, any particle going down, toward the strengthening gravity field, should experience a cooling effect.

b) Although the relativistic effects may be slight (depending on the strength and rate of change of the gravity) the heating (or cooling) will be absolutely efficient because it is not occurring by transference/collisions but directly within the particles. This means the heat would be far more effective at ionizing atoms than normal heat, which in turn means the deduced temperature of the corona would exceed the actual temperature.
