Subject: electrodynamic stability?
| Does it make any sense to think that a very large number of electrons
| (billions) can stay together (despite the mutual repulsion) when they
| circulate rapidly forming a small "toroidal vortex?" The nonuniform
| magnetic field, created by them, is said to produce confining forces.
| It would be like a large "classical" atom without a nucleus (a cluster
| of charges, if you prefer).
