Harold Aspden (1927~2011)

Dr. Aspden laid out his stellar model in The Physics of Creation, Chapter 8. He starts by making the point that compression will ionize the matter, and then gravity will separate protons and electrons due to the difference in mass (i.e., the Pannoekoek-Rosseland Field).

Hydrogen as the gas from which stars are formed will, upon compression to a mass density of the order of 1.4 gm/cc as shown in Appendix IV, experience overlap of the electron shells, the K-shells of the atomic structure of hydrogen. This means that the star will be partially ionized, which means that many protons and electrons will roam free. In turn this means that, since the mutual rate of gravitational acceleration by two interacting protons is 1836 times that of two interacting electrons, the star must adopt a uniform mass density throughout its core and have a positive electric core charge density enclosed in a surface shell of negative charge density.

Then Apsden gets into aether theory.
