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 >99% of the ordinary matter in the universe is in the form of 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, and thus including (but not equivalent to) astrophysical plasma and including plasma cosmology
