It is generally assumed that an ensemble of small bodies located in similar Keplarian orbits will, because of collisions, tend to disperse into more and more dissimilar orbits. This theory was challenged. Alfven maintains that for the case where the time between collisions is longer than the orbit period and the collisions are essentially inelastic the orbits and velocities will become more similar. This gives rise to the concepts of negative diffusion and jet streams. It is proposed that this question might be investigated experimentally using the space station. The proposed experiment is briefly described.
