"You know,
lightning is invisible in space." "God.
What are you talking about now?" "In space,
lightning is invisible. We can only see
lightning here
because of the atmosphere.
The visible light
is generated by the incandescence of the air
molecules, super-heated by the barrage
of charged particles
passing through them. In space,
there would be nothing to see - completely
invisible."
"There is no lightning in space."
... [pause]
"...how would you know?"
