Well, under the theoretical 'low probablility' interacting 'space', there
is a state of equilibrium that is attained by forces that pull in various
directions and there is a certain amount of stability achieved, given
that nothing changes and temperature, pressure, etc., remain
constant. However, in solution, the 'interactions' with the environment,
eg., with molecules of water, can't be avoided.
