Discord7 said:What you say applies to microscopic neutralization of electrical charge. It represents an exothermic process that results then in a deenergizing phenomenon, hence a return to a stable condition.
You are inventing your own physics. If you are interested, I can explain why your physics doesn't work, but I don't think you are interested so I don't quite see the point of this discussion.
Please specify where I might be technically incorrect or where I should improve my attempt to explain macroscopic discharge as an alternative achievement of stable formations.
As far as we can tell, the total charge balance of the universe is zero. If you have an electrically charged body, then electromagnetism is strong enough (i.e. 10^40 time stronger than gravity) so that the moment you have a charged object in space it is going to attract things of the opposite charge to cancel out.
This isn't going to work...
To the extent that an astronomical body is an isolated parcel of matter...
It's not. But ignoring that...
Granting a fluid spherical body so possessed of a negative charge, introduction of an additional electron within it should find a repulsive force that would move it outward toward the outer surface.
Wrong direction. If there is negative charge in the surface, then the repulsive force should keep it away from the surface. But even if that worked...
If an ionizing event were to separate an electron from a hydrogen atom by great enough distance, the force of attraction toward the resulting positive ion could become less than the global force of repulsion upon that electron.
If things are random then you would end up with the positive charges being closer and the negative charges being further, and so that won't work...
In such case, the electron would rise toward the surface and the proton would descend toward the global center. Those migrations would qualify as exothermic events thus representing what we might call a macroscopic discharge for the ion.
Exothemic doesn't apply...
As a result, a positive central core would develop and the negative shell of electrons would be augmented accordingly.
And even if all of that worked, you are still no where near a jet...
There are so many things wrong with this idea, that I don't think it's viable. If you want to spend your time working on ideas that just won't work, then that's fine, but I don't see why you'd want to talk to me about this...
