The existence of a ferrite- and calcium-rich layer under the Sun's photosphere, rotating rigidly once in 27.3 days, has been claimed.
My question is: has a more precise rotation time been recorded for this uniformly rotating shell?
If you're talking about Michael Mozina's ideas, it just isn't happening.
Here's a page with an illustration of the complex way rotation varies with depth and latitude <http://soi.stanford.edu/results/srotation.html>
