You certainly cannot say with a high degree of confidence that mass has not changed at least during the existence of our solar system.
A stellar body of mass cannot exist as a sun if it has the mass of jupiter. That is true if all the laws of physics were all the same as they are today. Did you forget what the name of this thread was???????????? What makes a sun a sun? Thermonuclear fusion is the answer. What makes that happen? Aren't the weak and strong nuclear forces involved? Isn't it possible to generate thermonuclear energy with a stellar body that has the mass of jupiter if the strong and weak nuclear forces were different?
Although you claim that you did not see any evidence, it was there.
If the strong and weak forces were different in the past it would leave evidence.
We can look at stars and see what is happening in the past. We can observe planetary bodies that orbit a distant sun and from that we can determine things like the masses involved. What we find is that at that scale, the planets behave just as here.
Since when looking at stars we are directly looking at how things were in the past, we can compare those solar systems from millions of years ago to what is happening today.
We can also look at those halos produced at Oklo. Are they different?
Changing the nuclear force so that an object even less massive than Mercury can undergo nuclear fusion does not change the effects of gravity.
If the sun was the mass you suggested then the solar system would not have formed.
The earth though is here.
Do you agree that there is evidence that the Earth is here?
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
