Know plasma, know 99.999% of the Universe (No plasma, no Universe)
Filamentation (or filamentary structure) is often seen in plasmas. It is created because plasma contains free electrons, making it highly electrically conductive — even more than metals, and even in tenuous cosmic plasmas. As charged particles readily move in a plasma, a ring of magnetic field forms around the current that can pinch it into … Read more
Fire (flames) may contain plasma, albeit one that is a partially ionized plasma, and dominated by collisions: “Whether a plasma exists in a flame depends on the material being burned and the temperature”.[1] The Contemporary Physics Education Project produces a poster on plasmas (see right) in which flames (ie. fire) is shown as a plasma.[2] … Read more
Plasma Universe research derives from laboratory experiments, such as the dense plasma focus above, with pioneers such as Kristian Birkeland, Hannes Alfvén, Winston H. Bostick. Compare this image with the nebula, far left Introduction 1. What is plasma? 2. Where is plasma? 3. Why is plasma so? 4. Electrified plasmas … Read more
Galaxy formation in the Plasma Universe is modeled as two adjacent interacting Birkeland filaments. The simulation produces a flat rotation curve, but no hypothetical dark matter is needed, as required by the conventional model of galaxy formation. The simulations derive from the work of Winston H. Bostick who obtained similar results from interacting plasmoids.[1] [2] … Read more
Computer simulations of two interacting Birkeland currents with plasma clouds trapped in parallel magnetic filaments simulate evolving galaxy formations, without the need for dark matter and black holes! Introduction 1. What is plasma? 2. Where is plasma? 3. Why is plasma so? 4. Electrified plasmas 5. Plasma filaments 6. … Read more
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous electromagnetic events occurring in the universe. They are flashes of gamma rays emanating from seemingly random places in deep space at random times. The duration of a gamma-ray burst is typically a few seconds, but can range from a few milliseconds to several minutes, and the initial burst … Read more
See also: Dusty plasmas: dynamics Gravito-electrodynamics is the physics of the influence of gravity and electromagnetic forces on particle. The motion of solid particles in a plasma follows the momentum equation for ions and electrons: where m, q are the mass and charge of the particle, g is the gravitation acceleration, mvcv is due to … Read more
Gravity is a phenomenon through which all objects with mass attract each other. The force is proportional to the mass of the objects (ie. double the mass produces double the force), and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (ie. double the distance, produces four times less force). Charged particles up to the size … Read more

Hannes Alfvén considered the heliospheric current sheet to be part of a heliospheric current system, as he believed all cosmic plasmas to be part of a “plasma circuit”. [2] [3] The Sun behaves as a unipolar inductor producing a current that flows outwards along both axes B2, and inwards in the equatorial plane, C, and … Read more
