...almost right. They neglect the fact that as electrons are removed, positive charges remain behind, which leads to a space charge, so that the gravitational field is not the only field that "evaporating" electrons have to overcome. They also miss the fact that stars are continually spewing thin plasma into space, as evident from our own "Solar wind". This means that rather than being full of electrons, space is actually filled by a cold plasma that is net neutral, but where nevertheless a form of crystal does form. However it's comprised of both protons and electrons, and looks more like a low density salt crystal (NaCl). Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <mixent...@aussiebroadband.com.au>
