The spectrum of the Sun is primarily the continuous emissive one of a

Fun fact: originally it was thought that those lines in the spectra
of the
Sun and other stars were characteristic of the entire makeup of the
bodies
concerned. In other words, they were full of elements much like those
that
make up the Earth and other planetary bodies.

A young doctorate student named Cecilia Payne, after some careful study,
came to the remarkable conclusion that stars were mostly hydrogen and
helium, and these spectral lines were due, in effect, to relatively
small
amounts of contaminants in among that bulk of hydrogen and helium.

Watch the first few minutes of the first video in the playlist to see a

Note to Brett - gravity waves in a fluid are completely different from
gravitational waves, such as those generated by black hole collisions
and detected by LIGO. You probably have some other magic snake oil
beliefs about those, but don't get them confused with gravity waves in a
fluid.

Brett and his guru do seem to ignorant of the existence
and properties of gravity. How else to explain the guru's
"bottle of gas" nonsense?
