Cosmology in the plasma universe: an introductory exposition.
Abstract
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: 1. The same basic laws of plasma physics hold everywhere; 2. mapping of electric fields and currents are necessary to understand cosmic plasma; 3. space is filled with a network of currents leading to the circular and filamentary structure of matter; and 4. double layers, critical velocity, and pinch effects are of decisive importance in how cosmic plasma evolves. This paper reviews a number of the outstanding questions of cosmology in the plasma universe.
