Without the idea of Gravity to function as a containment mechanism in Outer Space, any kind of plasma or gas distribution would shoot off into this vast chasm of vacuum at a constant speed to fill any available volume, as is dictated by The Second Law of Thermodynamics. On Earth, gasses are pressurized and stratified due to pressure exerted upon them from the antecedent of containment. As such, The Earth's atmospheric pressure gradients form a kind of pressurized ecosystem that holds matter in various stratified constellations of density. In the absence of such containment, which would instantaneously reduce the pounds per square inch of air pressure pressing upon objects, gaseous pressure would become dissolute, diffusive, and disperse out in every direction until it found containment, again.
Thus, if The Earth existed in a vast celestial vacuum, The Earth's atmospheric pressure gradients could not adhere to The Earth, as all gasses would be expanding ever outwards in order to establish Thermodynamic equilibrium. However, this is not the case, and because Newtonian Gravity requires a mass to mass equivalence, and Einsteinian Gravity is nothing more than an inertial reference frame in a pseudo-Riemannian as it traces geodesics, both versions fail to substitute as a container. It is the hypothesis of this book that the solution to the necessity of atmospheric containment is found in the Biblical Firmament. And this being the case, The Stars are more likely to be Sonoluminescent phenomena that exist in the quasi-vitreous "Waters Above" in this Firmament, and subsequently, they are not burning "Suns" in an imaginary Outer Space vacuum.
