The Zetas wish to repond.

    So multiply Jupiter's little heat emissions by 10 and
    you have a Brown Dwarf, detectable from a vast
    distance as your dwarf counting missions are
    currently doing?  The challenge was to explain how
    FRICTION in a gaseous body could, to use your
    word, "convert" friction within a gaseous body into
    heat and light.  If this is the MECHANISM, then
    Jupiter should emit 1/10 of what a Brown Dwarf
    10 times Jupiter's size emits!  Does it?  NO! You put
    forth a quote saying Jupiter is not cold as a stone.
    That did NOT meet the challenge.  As we said,
    Greg, end of silly dialog on this mythical explanation.
