Utter nonsense.  Stellar dynamics is the quintessential evidence that both 
special and general relativity are correct, and that classical mechanics 
suffices as an approximation only for *low* speeds, *low* energies and so 
on.  In particular, E_kin = mv²∕2 and p = mv from classical mechanics *do 
not hold* for massless photons: their kinetic energy is _not_ zero, and 
their momentum is not zero; they are moving at *the speed of light* instead.

You wish.

There you go again: “the emitting plasma particle”?  Do you even know what a 
plasma is?

Cite evidence.

Of that there is no doubt.  However, I debate that any momentum is 
transported by any recoiling of stellar matter.  Photons are _not_ like 
little energetic cannonballs as (the two of) you like to believe.
 
> The energy of the photon, of course, does cool the sun slightly.

Nonsense.  If you knew what a plasma is in the first place, you would know 
that its temperature is more or less equivalent to the velocity of its 
constituents, and that

  E² = (pc)² + (mc²)²    (1)

whereas E is energy, p is momentum, c is the speed of light in vacuum, and m 
is mass.  As for the photon (which, I should add, is not a “plasma 
particle”, as you apparently believe), m = 0, and so

   E = pc           (2)
     = ℎc∕λ = ℎf.   (3)

IOW, the “relativistic mass”, which is equal to its energy, and the 
momentum, of a photon all depend only on the wavelength/frequency of the 
electromagnetic radiation it emerges as a constituent of under collision 
conditions [Einstein confirmed this in 1905 in his work on the photoelectric 
effect, and later showed the relation between Planck’s equation (3) and 
mass–energy equivalence (1)(2)].  And it is the momentum that a photon (or 
rather, zillions of photons per second) carries away from the Sun that 
causes the Sun either to cool down or its rotation to become slower.  It is 
the energy that it carries away that causes the Sun to shrink; _not_ because 
of any recoiling, but because of the mass–energy equivalence it thereby 
loses mass as well (fear not: calculations show that the mass of the Sun is 
so large, it will not shrink considerably during its lifetime merely due to 
emission of radiation or other particles).
