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 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; includes (but is not equivalent to) astrophysical plasma and includes plasma cosmology
