 | | 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. |
