The pinch effect will squeeze the current channels down to small diameters, producing many filaments that carry the total current. Where the filaments impinge on the surface, they will create “hot spots” as they electrically “machine” away material and pull much of it into space. Detailed measurements during close flybys should detect these filaments as “jets” of vapor, ice and dust. Water vapor that escapes the filaments will crystallize on the surface nearby, becoming the ice that is “very young ... between 10 and 1,000 years old” observed by Cassini.
Four supersonic jets of water vapour have been detected within the enormous geyser of gas and dust that spurts from the south polar region of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus.
The observations, made by NASA's Cassini orbiter, add weight to the idea that liquid from a lake not too far beneath the satellite's surface is erupting through warm cracks to form the giant plume.
The probe spotted the gas streams on 24 October 2007 during one of its flybys of the moon, recording the light from a star that was passing behind the Enceladus geyser using its Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph.
In 2005, a similar procedure had allowed Cassini to confirm1 the existence of water vapour within the geyser. But in the later observations, the star's light cut horizontally through the plume, revealing the four distinct jets of water vapour within it, says planetary scientist Candice Hansen of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and lead author of the new study. Her team's findings appear in Nature2

So you are an anthropologist that doesn't know how to read?
Are you incapable of understanding the words I've written, did you ignore them, or are you just trolling me?
How many times do I have to say Saturn was - past tense - was a brown dwarf, as in:
"not now"
"currently is not"
"not at the present"
"formerly"
"in the past"
"not any longer"

It doesn't evolve.
It depends on location.
The Sun is sucking up all the free electrons so to speak.
If one were to move Saturn outside the Sun's influence its magnetosphere would light up in discharge again.

Stable matter at the densities required for neutron stars has never been created in a lab.

Oh look, your phobia of science is actually selective! Creating an object 20 times as dense as the atomic nucleus, in the lab, doesn't send you running for the hills, but a distant object spinning at 67k rpm does! What do you know...

Saturn was an extra-solar planet that was ejected from its parent star god knows how long ago. It was flung out of that solar system and was sent wandering the galaxy as a brown dwarf until it was electrically captured by the Sun.

There's nothing selective about it.
Show me a sample of this supposed matter that I can play with.

It doesn't exist.
It can't exist.
The neutrons fly apart instantaneously.

Time dilation is caused by gravity and speed.
In neutron star, there is gravity that becomes one of the dominant forces as opposed to the case with a conventional nucleus.

again, you fail to explain the mechanism that causes this. And as Chamberf=6 has pointed out, you have to pick one, Saturn is either a planet or a brown dwarf, it can't be both. Not even in the most insane applications of quantum theory allow for something that crazy!

Oh yeah! I guess it's okay that gravity doesn't exist know because some guy from the internet told me so huh?
