Description

Acceptance of the plasma universe model is now leading to drastically new views of the structure of the universe. The basic aspects of cosmological importance are: the same basic laws of plasma physics hold everywhere; mapping of electric fields and currents are necessary to understand cosmic plasma; space is filled with a network of currents leading to the cellular and filamentary structure of matter; and double layers, critical velocity, and pinch effects are of decisive importance in how cosmic plasma evolves. This paper reviews a number of the questions of cosmology in the plasma universe
