exceedingly thin atmosphere of such stars has the essential water and carbon compounds to mist down onto planetary surfaces. The reddish light is ideal for photosynthesis. Such a model provides one reason why the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project is unlikely to succeed. Any advanced civilisation on such a planet will be unaware that the universe exists outside its own stellar environment, and radio communication through the glow discharge of the star will be impossible! Our education systems are not suited to the broad, interdiscipli- nary knowledge required in an Electric Universe. .

So the elec- ee > a, trostatic force must act at a speed which is almost infinite on our scale for the electron to be stable. It is the stable orbital resonances of these sub-particles, both within and between particles, that give rise to the phenomena of protons, neutrons, electrons and atoms. Other denizens of the par- ticle "zoo" are merely transient resonant states of the same charged sub-particles. The so-called "creation" of matter from energetic photons is an illusion in which pre-existing matter is reorganised into new resonant states that give the impression that a particle has suddenly materialised. Antimatter is a misnomer since it, too, is formed from the same sub-particles as "normal" matter, except that the total charge is mirrored. Matter cannot be created or annihilated.
