When you would compare an atom and it's electrons (which could
be charged positive or negative) with a sun and it's planets,
how would the sun be charged? how would it's planets be charged?
What would be the resulting charge of the solarsystem. And analogous
the charge of a milkyway. Is the Universe itself seen from
macro perspective neutral charged?
