Nature abhors a vacuum. Apparently in a space with all particles removed there would still be spacetime. Yet I am dubious. Logically if there are no particles how can there be distance and time? Or in other words how can there be the "potential" for movement without there being anything to move? It seems to me that spacetime would be created around every particle rather than have some independent existence? There ends my naive and limited foray into physics...
except for this. What happens if a ball of ions is spun very fast and some charge imbalance occurs at random? This creates an imbalance in the magnetic field which might reinforce the charge imbalance to create a big potential difference... as long as it is spinning. When it slows down then the potential difference is released and kaboom.
So a vortex is created in the air alongside a lightening bolt. Ionised air is trapped in the vortex and hey preso. Such an unusally charged object may indeed behave statically like the ball lightening observed.
Maths aint good enough to explore this... maybe have a go one day
