I'll pick a really generous time. Let's use about the time it would take a photon to get to the next particle in the plasma. This is 3.33e-9 s

What has this got to do with anything?

It's the time it takes for the next particle over to be able to have any reaction to event at the electron we're looking at. EM forces propogate at the speed of light, so the light-travel time is a reasonable limiting timescale to use to look the actions of electrons in your theory, Lyndon. |
So the 'reaction' is passed on 'one electron at a time?' Is this what you are saying?

(I see I've had this page open too long, and Sylas has beat me to the answer, but mine is also valid.)

Ah, so your answer is based on "nice numbers that fit onto the back of an envelope" too! Very scientific
Cheers,
Lyndon
