Thanks for the correction. I looked "plasma" up and had my memory refreshed on stuff I had forgotten somewhere between science lessons at school and now. but does that mean the sun has a surface on which a kettle (assuming it can withstand the heat) can be rested upon after all?

I am also happy to see how well taoism works for you. :levi:
