Ummm...There is nothing that prevents DOUBLE LAYERS from forming in a plasma.
We are not talking about double layers, which are also restricted to a few times the Debye length.
aaaaaannddd....
Here we go again confabulating SPACE plasma's actual properties for the properties that make the MATH easier!
Nope, we are talking about the in-situ observations of real plasmas, as opposed to the complete ignorance of plasmas shown by you and your unqualified Velikovskian high priests.
I mean you, jd116, cant even explain the OBSERVED and EMPIRICALLY measured cometary tails...
Yes we can. We have had in-situ spacecraft in the tails of comets. And the observations match theory.
eg Take your dogma and chuck some critical thinking in, if possible, and explain to YOURSELF why your beloved but very vague ambipolar field does just not charge equalize across the boundary between positive (the ions inc positively charged dust) and the directly adjacent negative charge (the electrons inc negatively charged dust).
Take your complete ignorance of plasma physics, and leave it to those that understand it, due to being qualified in it. Unlike you and your Velikovskian high priests.
Maybe, just maybe, you would then have a sliver of hope understanding plasma.
Which you have no understanding of. As is obvious. Anyone that thinks the solar wind is a current of solely ions is, by definition, scientifically illiterate. And that is what the impossible electric sun woo you believe in calls for.
or
What is preventing this "ambipolar field" (
Ambipolar electrostatic field in dusty plasma) from just dissipating?
Errrrm, why would it dissipate? Learn to read. Unless the mechanism causing the charges to attempt to separate disappears then the field will always be there to ensure quasi-neutrality. Are you sure you know what an electric field is? I have my doubts.
Whats driving the CHARGE SEPARATION in this instance?
Learn to read;
In the rapidly corotating magnetosphere of Saturn (Sittler et al. 2006), the gravitational and centrifugal forces play a major role in the distribution of the charged particles along the magnetic field lines, particularly in the presence of heavy ions such as oxygen ions (such as O+ 2 and O+). Along the field lines, the effect of the centrifugal force increases outward from Saturn, and confines the ions near the equatorial plane creating a plasma sheet-like structure, whereas the effect of the gravitational force increases inwards and pulls them back into Saturn (Northrop & Hill 1982, 1983). Due to a large mass difference between the electrons and ions, the centrifugal force causes a slight charge separation between them. This creates a polarisation electrostatic field along the magnetic field lines (hereafter, parallel electrostatic field, E) that acts to preserve quasi-neutrality on a larger scale (Persson 1963). As a consequence, under the effect of E, the ions and the electrons remain coupled to each other and diffuse together as a single fluid.
So, as I've already explained in terms a bright high school science student could understand, anything that causes the ions and electrons to start to become separated, will create an electric field which will cause the oppositely charged particles to come back together to maintain quasi-neutrality, beyond the Debye length. Just as happens at the Sun with the solar wind. The thermal acceleration given to the electrons in the corona will make them start to separate from the ions, as the ions feel a much greater gravitational force than the electrons, due to being more massive. That's kind of how gravity works. So, we can have a solar wind made entirely of electrons, which will leave the Sun with a massive positive charge, which will cause it to explode due to Coulomb repulson in very short order - or, the plasma will react as per the laws of physics, and an electric field will arise that is directed such that it accelerates the ions and retards the electrons. Thus ensuring that equal numbers of both leave, and remain. As must be the case. As is measured to be the case.
In your fantasy, only the heavier ions are leaving! How are you managing that? That will leave the Sun with a massive negative charge. How are you getting a drift current of electrons into the Sun, past a magnetic field heading outward at ~ 400 km/s? (which will make the Sun even more negatively charged. Isn't the Sun supposed to be an anode in your fantasy?). More physics defying Velikovskian woo, perchance? Your nonsense violates basic laws of physics, and has never had a single plasma physicist anywhere near it. Or any other sort of physicist, for that matter. That is why it only exists on mythology-based crackpot websites and YT channels, and only believed in by scientifically illiterate laymen.
Then MASS starts to play a role.
