Ah! Yes! Assumptions. To assume, to take a position without supporting
evidence. I assume that you do not have a wooden leg. I assume that you have a
wife. I assume that you do not speak Swahili. All reasonable assumptions but
not assumptions upon which I would risk my life nor my wealth nor yet even
$1000 at two to one. Assumptions of this nature are reasonably safe but if you
keep making them you will be caught short.
That you do not understand -- or you choose not to understand -- the basis upon
which the Sun's composition and energy creating processes are determined does
not make that determination an assumption. I'm sure that in your lifetime, you
have hit your thumb with a hammer. Most of us boys have -- it's what we do! So
then, if I hit you on your thumb with half a kilogram of gallium (it's a safe
bet that you've not previously been hit on the thumb with half a kilogram of
gallium) would you assume that it would hurt? Or would you be more likely to
state that it would indeed hurt -- no assumption involved? This is a crude
example, but the processes involved in coming to a rational conclusion are not
fundamentally different in the two cases.
I'm really surprised that you included Doppler effect in your list of
'assumptions'.

Yes! They cannot be directly verified, only verified within a theory. - Neville
