Dyadospheres Don't Develop

Abstract

Pair production itself prevents the development of dyadospheres, hypothetical macroscopic regions where the electric field exceeds the critical Schwinger value. Pair production is a self-regulating process that would discharge a growing electric field, in the example of a hypothetical collapsing charged stellar core, before it reached 6% of the minimum dyadosphere value, keeping the pair production rate more than 26 orders of magnitude below the dyadosphere value.
