I think (and IANA astrophysicist) that they are saying because of the density of the sun, forced if gravity are so strong that time dilation occurs, making the core “older” than the surface.
Yeah I was trying to figure out this as well. It’s about gravitational time dilation. The increased gravity at the center of the sun means that about 25,000 fewer years have passed there than at the surface.

Indeed. I’m pretty sure whatever is being communicated is probably interesting, but I can barely grasp it.

This is the correct answer. It’s just frustratingly difficult read.
