> We have radio telescopes that can see all the way down to a few tens of MHz. This is far colder than the CMB, and certainly much too cold for the intergalactic medium.

PV = nRT

What if the P is very low & V is very big...like it is in space? What would the plasma in dark discharge radiate?

> Absolutely not. Galaxies are firmly in the nonclassical regime.

According to some models. Do these models have reproducible experimental evidence? If not, I don't see how you can credibly be so sure of yourself...

Sure, exotic & speculative math is way more fun than reconciling with physical reality. Without reproducible experimental evidence, the model is non-falsifiable (& non-provable).

In contrast, the Plasma model does have physically reproducible experiments that are able to create galactic phenomena in the lab. Live physical experimentation...not computer simulations using math that has never been verified by physical experiment.




> PV = nRT

For an ideal gas. Plasmas are extremely far from being ideal gases.

> According to some models. Do these models have reproducible experimental evidence?

Yes, general relativity is extremely well supported by the evidence.
