Well, under the theoretical 'low probablility' interacting 'space' scenerio,
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 and aren't exactly 'low probability'.
