Revision as of 14:34, 6 February 2013 by Aarghdvaark (talk | contribs) (Phase is plasma, not form of plasma)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Plasma Universe has a few different definitions:
- Alfvén-Klein cosmology - a particular non-standard cosmological model
- Plasma cosmology - a loose set of non-standard ideas about cosmology, including Alfvén-Klein cosmology
- Astrophysical plasma - a mainstream science, where the term 'plasma universe' emphasises that by far the most common phase of ordinary matter in the universe is plasma
- Plasma universe - a term coined by Hannes Alfvén to emphasise that plasma physics must play an important role in the evolution of the universe; includes (but is not equivalent to) astrophysical plasma and includes plasma cosmology
