I think the stellar analogy holds the answer, Jones. But, it is not the normal star like Sol that we should study. It is white dwarfs and neutron stars.
Negative resistance in magnetized plasmas has been known to exist for decades. So we know there is an energy source. Degenerate matter is forming within these Storms Discontinuities, possibly relativistic as has been speculated here. Are we seeing Color Superconductors? At the limit of Chandrasekhar mass electrons and protons do form neutrons and neutrinos. Is the degenerate state simulating this limit? It was CE's black hole idea that got me thinking like this. I'll probably get over it. Or not. T
