ELECTROMAGNETIC VORTEX
With in the sun there are flux
tubes and if the stress on the flux tubes reaches a certain limit, they
coil up and puncture the surface of the sun. At the puncture points prevent
convection , so the
energy flux from the sun's interior decreases, and with it so does the surface temperature.
The Wilson effect tells us that sunspots are actually depressions on the sun's surface. And the Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory (SOHO) using sound waves traveling that travel through the Sun's photosphere were able to
develop a detailed image of the internal structure below sunspots and
it showed that there is a powerful downdraft underneath each sunspot, that causes a
rotating vortex that concentrates magnetic field lines

In a
magnetic field, a superconductor is threaded by swirling whirlpools
of electric
current. Understanding these magnetic vortices is important
because
they control the flow of current through the superconductor.
Vortices have
non-superconducting cores, which carry the
magnetic
field lines, surrounded by swirling
‘supercurrents’. The behavior of
these magnetic vortices determines the physical
properties of superconductors,
including the maximum electrical current the
superconductor can support.
