David, They don't just twist, they break off and go thru magnetic reconnection expelling billions of tons of energetic particles into space as CMEs and also flares. At 1-5 per day over a few billion years that is a lot of energetic stuff, where is all that stuff?
Stewart A *coronal mass ejection* (*CME*) is a massive burst of solar wind<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_wind> and magnetic fields rising above the solar <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun> corona <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona> or being released into space.[1 ] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_mass_ejection#cite_note-1> Coronal mass ejections are often associated with other forms of solar activity, most notably solar flares<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_flares>, but a causal relationship has not been established. Most ejections originate from active regions on the Sun's surface, such as groupings of sunspots <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot> associated with frequent flares. Near solar maxima <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_maximum>, the Sun produces about three CMEs every day, whereas near solar minima<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_minimum>, there is about one CME every five days.[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_mass_ejection#cite_note-Fox-2> coronal mass ejections reach velocities between 20km/s to 3200km/s with an average speed of 489km/s, based on SOHO<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_and_Heliospheric_Observatory> /LASCO<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LASCO_Large_Angle_and_Spectrometric_Coronagraph>measurements between 1996 and 2003. The average mass is 1.6×1012kg. The values are only lower limits, because coronagraph measurements provide only two-dimensional data analysis.
