Superconductivity in metals.I think that vacuum is a superconductor.

Low temperature create "free ways" for electrons in the lattice.

0 Kelvin was calculated for the ideal gas. We can calculate the zero for
metals. Will be they equal?

All capacitor currents are the oscillating current. Continuous is the
electric arc.
Electrons do not like vacuum. They prefer a body. When the voltage is too
high electrons start to find a new body. They jump on the nearest body. Such
becomes charged and next jump take place. Air or dielectric is breakdown and
the current oscilate. The breakdown is simply a vacuum hole. But each hole
must has the walls. They are not superconductive.
Materials engineers try to do a material which has many of proper holes..

The first step should be the answer for the question: Is the vacuum
superconductive?
