However, i don't believe that there is even proof of the existance of metallic hydrogen.
The first confirmed formation of a metallic state of hydrogen was announced at the March Meeting by scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Metalic hydrogen was achieved in a sample of fluid hydrogen, using a two-stage gas gun to create enormous shock pressure on a target containing liquid hydrogen cooled to 20K. Future experiments will be aimed at learning more about the dependence of metallization pressure on temperatures achieved in liquid hydrogen, which is vital for laboratory applications.
There is no mystery as to the present astronomical associations of these figures. But more archaic traditions, coming from many and diverse cultures, identify the great "sun" gods with the motionless center of heaven, the celestial pole. They speak of a primeval sun, an exemplary or "best" sun, ruling before the present sun. The god's station was the summit of the world axis, from which he ultimately fell in a heaven-altering catastrophe. Perhaps the best known story is the Greek account of Kronos, founder of the Golden Age, eventually driven from his seat at the top of the world by his son Zeus.
To what body did these strange traditions refer? Today we take for granted that the ancient words we translate as "helios" and "sol" originated as references to the Sun that illuminates our every day. In many languages the words for this axial figure did indeed become the words for the Sun. But the later identity could not obscure the more archaic idea--of a former, stationary light at the pole, whose every feature defies any identification with the Sun in our sky today.
As strange as it may seem, early astronomical traditions identify the "primeval sun" as the planet Saturn, the distant planet which the alchemists called the "best sun" and which the Babylonians, the founders of astronomy, identified as the exemplary light of heaven, the "sun"-god Shamash. ("Shamash is the planet Saturn", the astronomical texts say.) In archaic copies of Plato's Timaeus, the word for the planet Saturn is Helios, the "sun" god. Popular Greek traditions identified Saturn as Kronos, alter ego of Helios, and Kronos is said to have ruled "over the pole". But only a handful of scholars have bothered to trace the parallel referents in other cultures, or to address the unanswered questions.

I stumbled upon these two NASA images today, and I'm having trouble explaining it. The only explanation I can give was that the hollow earth theory must apply to Jupiter. Please check out these images and share your thoughts.

The black dot you see is probably the "eye" of a vortex, like the eye of a Hurricane. The glow you see at the center is most probably an Aurora Borealis since this is located at the pole.

those videos are interesting. I will have to try to track down the Saturn hexagon pole. Maybe its Uranaus. The interesting thing is that the rotation is completely reversed on each side of the rotating hexagon cloud. FASCINATING data emerging.
here is the Saturn hexagon:
