 Plasma cosmology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plasma cosmology explains the large scale structure and evolution of the universe, from galaxy formation to the cosmic microwave background by invoking electromagnetic phenomena associated with laboratory plasmas.
Plasma cosmology is explained as much as possible in terms of known physics, using the theoretical and experimental results of laboratory plasma physics in cosmological applications.
In turn this invariance means that the duration of plasma phenomena scales as their size, so that galaxies a hundred thousand light years across with characteristic evolution times of billions of years scale to transient laboratory-scale phenomena lasting a microsecond.

 Plasma universe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Plasma cosmology is a non-standard cosmological view which relies on the electromagnetic effects of plasma for explaining the large-scalestructure of the universe, energy storage, and energy flow between separate areas of the universe, among other things.
In the mid- 1990s, interest in plasma cosmologies arose among the standard (Big Bang) cosmological community, mostly as a "fallback" theory, in case COBE failed to discover variations in the cosmic microwave background or in case primordial helium abundances turned out to be unexplainable by standard cosmologies.
Despite the general importance of plasma in astrophysics, and the assertions of the standard model that electromagneticforces may be important for describing local phenomena, the standard model continues to delineate that these forces are notimportant at large cosmological distances.

 Plasma
It differs from cosmology, or the science of the universe, in that the latter aims at understanding the actual composition and governing laws of the universe as it now exists; while the former answers the question as to how it first came to be.
Plasma Cosmology is a way of understanding how our universe can come about and exist when the physical cosmos has, and is moved by, an electric cause (mans current understanding of vortexya).
Plasma clouds moving in the magnetic field of the sun generate a current that flows towards the sun.

 ScienceMaster - JumpStart - Plasma Universe
Ionospheric plasma is very thin and has distinctive layers that differ in composition and density: the F1 layer (around 200 kilometers) and F2 layer (around 300 to 400 kilometers).
In the F2 layer, where the plasma is most dense, there are rarely more than 1 million electron-ion pairs in a cubic centimeter (cc), or thimbleful, of space; in comparison, the neutral gas density for the same region is typically 1 billion particles per cc.
Plasma is strongly influenced by both magnetic and electric forces, and in turn, plasma particles affect the distribution of magnetic and electric fields.

 Plasma cosmology
In the mid-1990s, interest in plasma cosmologies arose among the standard (Big Bang) cosmological community, mostly as a "fallback" theory, in case COBE failed to discover variations in the cosmic microwave background or in case primordial helium abundances turned out to be unexplainable by standard cosmologies.
One of the most well developed models of plasma cosmology which challenges the standard Big Bang cosmology was first developed in 1965 by Hannes Alfven.
Although 3-D formation simulations of single galaxies have been performed using the plasma model (see articles by Anthony Peratt) wherein electromagnetic forces are taken into account along with gravitation, there have been no published papers which attempt to calculate correlation functions and comparison with observations.

 Electric Plasma effects in the cosmos
Plasmas are excellent conductors and, therefore, there will not be a significant voltage drop across them while they are carrying current - thus the need for the presence of the DL that "takes" most of any externally applied voltage.
The electrical conductivity of any material, including plasma, is determined by two factors: the density of the population of available charge carriers (the ions) in the material, and the mobility of these carriers.
In fact, electric currents, flowing in plasmas, have been shown to produce most of the observed astronomical phenomena that are inexplicable if we assume that the only forces at work in the cosmos are magnetism and gravity.

The dark matter is ionized dust particles and ions in the plasma; and dark energy is the electromagnetic fields of the plasma.
The discovery supports the Plasma Universe model that was conceived by Hannes Alfven, in 1966.

Plasma processes are important factors in the behavior of stars, interstellar clouds, comets, the aurora, and even in our upper atmosphere.
Plasma begins to dominate Earth's environment in the ionosphere.
(Neutral gas density at Earth's surface is approximately 10 billion billion particles per cc.) The plasma in these layers, consisting mainly of electrons and atomic oxygen ions, is sustained by the ionizing action of solar ultraviolet radiation on the neutral atmospheric gas.

 A strange quark plasma (October 2000) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
This suppression was predicted to occur in the quark-gluon plasma, and it cannot be accounted for by extrapolating the absorption of J/psi particles in confined matter from proton-nucleus interactions to lead-lead interactions.
Such behaviour, which is not expected in the absence of a quark-gluon plasma, has indeed been observed in comparisons of data from proton-beryllium collisions with data from lead-lead collisions (figure 5).
The quark-gluon plasma is a copious source of strange quarks and antiquarks, which are normally hard to find; therefore, when the plasma fireball breaks up into the final-state hadrons, there will be a good chance that these hadrons will contain two or more strange quarks or antiquarks.

 Can Gravity be Induced?
The observation that plasmas align and reinforce magnetic fields is at odds with the fusion/core theories which rest on the assumption that the mutual gravitational attraction of the Sun's individual atoms override all other acting forces.
It occurs to me that the disparity between plasma behavior and the gravitational solar core theory is understandable; the fusion/core models originated before the nature of plasma configurations were understood.
Plasmas which are shot through a plasma gun (a magnetic field) and into a vacuum tube display well defined structures.

This resulted, most experts agree, in the formation of a long-sought-after plasma that is believed to be the primal stuff of the cosmos, the state of matter at the beginning of time.
Not only were the jets uneven, but their absorption by the plasma was 10 times as high as anyone had expected.
This means the quark-gluon plasma is extremely dense - 30 to 50 times as dense as predicted - which suggests the quarks in the plasma are exhibiting incredibly synchronised group behaviour and interacting strongly with each other and the surrounding gluons.

Everything we see in the universe, with the possible exception of a few specks of planets and reflection nebulas, is ionized to some degree.
The initial condition of the observed universe is that of charges already separated.
After seeing that the universe is already electrified, a calculation on the back of another envelope shows that gravity is too weak--by about 40 orders of magnitude!-- to account for the observed structure, movement, and dissipation of energy.

In a weakly ionized plasma the charge-neutral interactions are still important, while in strongly ionized plasma the multiple Coulomb interactions are dominant.
A plasma is a conductor of electricity, but a volume with dimensions greater than the so-called Debye length exhibits electrically neutral behavior.
On the Earth, plasmas usually do not occur naturally except in the form of lightning bolts, which consist of narrow paths of air molecules of which approximately 20 percent are ionized, and in parts of flames.

Plasmas are a combination of neutrals, ions, electrons and fields that have conductive and collective effects and where interparticle dynamics is not dominated simply by binary collisions.
Even though space plasmas usually maintain quasi-neutrality to within less than about 1 part per million, there can still be substantial currents, convection, plasma flows, plasma waves and shocks and other plasma effects that interconnect plasmas over vast expanse as demonstrated by direct measurements of solar system space plasmas.
Plasma astrophysics is the cutting edge of 21st century astrophysics and cosmology studies.

Nuclear fusion reactors could be used to study what the universe was like just after the big bang.
So claims a physicist who noticed that the plasma created inside these reactors is distributed in a strikingly similar way to galaxies in today's universe.
Basse argues that the distribution of galaxies today could be the result of variations in the density of plasma after the big bang.

Secondly, the model does not invoke any exotic physics (other than antimatter, which has been verified on Earth in high-energy colliders), instead modelling the universe using the well-understood electro static and magnetic forces along with gravity.
Although 3-D formation simulations of single galaxies have been performed using the plasma model (see articles by Anthony Peratt) wherein electro static and magnetic forces are taken into account along with gravitation, there have been no published papers which attempt to calculate correlation functions and comparison with observations.

However, the observed irregularities of the universe, which include vast galactic formations, (9) gigantic voids and sheets of galaxies, (10) and the "Great Wall", (11,12) that is estimated to stretch across one half billion light years of space, tend to deny that smoothness.
The smoothness of the distribution of the matter of the universe is said to be verified by the smoothness of microwave background radiation (MBR) that is received from all directions of space.
The enormous expansion of the early universe at speeds far in excess of that of light, in accordance with inflation theory, is said to solve the Big Bang smoothness problem.

 The Ultimate Goal: QGP
Physicists believe that RHIC collisions will compress and heat the gold nuclei so much that their individual protons and neutrons will overlap, creating an enormously energetic area where, for a brief time, a relatively large number of free quarks and gluons can exist.
Note that in the plasma, the quarks, gluons and anti-quarks are liberated from their usual bonds, and bond with one another freely.
As the universe aged and cooled, the plasma coalesced into protons and neutrons (hadronization), then nuclei (nucleosynthesis) and then atoms.
