Then you shouldn't have made it up, should you?
I didn't really make it up the words just came together then I rejected it like a bade theory.

But where did the gold in the sun come from? Did it sink to the centre of the primeval  sun? If so how is there lead copper or iron on earth?
I must say I am no alchemist or geologist But I think most metals originated during the formation of the planets. Some say that gold and other rare heavy metals originated in supernova explosions and was flung throughout the universe that way. I think that stars/sun is more than capable of producing gold by their own fusion taking place deep within. The gold would be delivered to earth as very fine particle size and buildup over the time the earth has existed most of the gold has been heated on earth and with geological events sunk deep in the earth most of the gold we find has moved back to the surface plated to quartz rock. This plating breaks up and is the gold dust and flakes in the rivers. Nuggets are pieces of gold vain gold veins are accumulated gold dust that has been heated at depths.
I suppose this theory has some credit. A lump of gold the same volume and velocity has more energy than a lump of aluminium. The same weight in gold is denser than a lump of aluminium. So centrifugal seperation is a possibility. The electrical magnetic qualities are worth investigating too, at the varying temperatures you envisage this theory happening at.

I think there is a lot going on in stars that is yet to be discovered. The core of some planets including ours is a powerhouse factory but nothing compared to the heart of a star. Thanks for your partial agreement.

You will have to try harder for partial agreement, I agree it is possible that a part of Earth's gold may be ejected from the sun, with some reasonable device owing to golds properties differing from iron or hydrogen. But possibilities is along way from a theory. It is possible that the atoms in another parallel universe are ejected into this universe by leprechauns trying to hide their gold.

That is a possibility or maybe it was an interstellar transporter crash Eddie Stobart may have had a gold transport service across the universe.
