SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the behavior of electrons in space, particularly their detachment from atoms and subsequent movement. Electrons can move freely in space, influenced by surrounding particles and energy sources, but are not related to dark energy. Plasma is formed when energy affects atoms, causing electrons to separate from their nuclei, with cosmic rays being a significant energy source in space. The predominant atom found in space is hydrogen, although all elements exist in varying quantities.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of plasma physics and its formation mechanisms
