Summary
Plasma Universe. Because of the scalability of plasma, Hannes Alfvén urged the application of laboratory and magnetospheric data, along with Anthony Peratt's large-scale particle-in-cell simulations, to non-in-situ space regions. Together with direct observation of interstellar and intergalactic plasma phenomena, a knowledge expansion about the universe, and a backflow of information about laboratory plasmas can be achieved.
