To set the stage for the report to follow, let me start with a quotation from A.S. Eddington's classical work “The Internal Constitution of the Stars”, published exactly half a century ago. Eddington wrote: “We shall not enter further into the historic problem of convective equilibrium since modern researches show that the hypothesis is untenable. In stellar conditions the main process of transfer of heat is by radiation and other modes of transfer may be neglected.” (paragraph 69, p. 98).
