The Neutrality Fallacy

The erroneous assumption that particles are electrically neutral

Full Analysis

Intel Stream Decrypted

The Neutrality Fallacy is the common but incorrect assumption that particles in atmospheric or space environments are electrically neutral. In reality, ionization from solar radiation, cosmic rays, and local plasma conditions means most particles carry net charges. Failing to account for this leads to drastically incorrect kinematic reconstructions.

Strategic_Takeaway

"Never assume particles are neutral—most carry charge in ionized environments."
