ELECTRONS IN SPACE The following quote is from pages 112-113 of the book "BASIC PROPERTIES OF MATTER", by the late Physicist Dewey B. Larson, which describes part of Larson's comprehensive GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the Physical Universe: "As indicated in the preceding chapter, the development of the theory of the universe of motion arrives at a totally different concept of the nature of electrical resistance. The electrons, we find, are derived from the environment. It was brought out in Volume I [ Larson's book "NOTHING BUT MOTION"] that there are physical processes in operation which produce electrons in substantial quantities, and that, although the motions that constitute these electrons are, in many cases, absorbed by atomic structures, the opportunities for utilizing this type of motion in such structures are limited. It follows that there is always a large excess of free electrons in the material sector [material half] of the universe, most of which are uncharged. In this uncharged state the electrons cannot move with respect to extension space, because they are inherently rotating units of space, and the relation of space to space is not motion. In open space, therefore, each uncharged electron remains permanently in the same location with respect to the natural reference system, in the manner of a photon. In the context of the stationary spatial reference system the uncharged electron, like the photon, is carried outward at the speed of light by the progression of the natural reference system. All material aggregates are thus exposed to a flux of electrons similar to the continual bombardment by photons of radiation. Meanwhile there are other processes, to be discussed later, whereby electrons are returned to the environment. The electron population of a material aggregate such as the earth therefore stabilizes at an equilibrium level.", http://library.rstheory.com/books/bpom/10.html . Note that in Larson's Theory, UNcharged electrons are also massLESS, and are basically PHOTONS OF LIGHT of a particular frequency (above the "unit" frequency) SPINNING around one axis at a particular rate (below the "unit" rate). ("Unit velocity" is the SPEED OF LIGHT, and there are vibrational and rotational EQUIVALENTS to the speed of light, according to Larson's Theory.) In Larson's Theory, an electrical charge is a ONE- DIMENSIONAL ROTATIONAL VIBRATION of a particular frequency (above the "unit" frequency) superimposed on the rotation of the particle. Larson is saying that outer space is filled with mass-LESS UN-charged electrons flying around at the speed of light! The paragraph quoted above might also give a clue to confused meteorologists about how and why lightning is generated in clouds.
