| | Thanks, Robert for the brief question. I took it as an invitation to do a little poking around. This is interesting stuff, even if partly or mostly mushy where it ventures into the outer limits of cosmic wonderment.
It's good that Hannes Alfven published his work in plasma cosmology. . . even if the theoretical work beyond his stellar achievements in plasma physics does not ultimately take hold as the final explication of the whole dang scary thing. Even if ultimately wrong, then, in its synthetic pretensions, it is normal science to have this explication battle the inflation model of dark undetected this and dark undetected that.
Although the model seems a little creaky and denuded in the picture immediately below (especially with the spooky "knowledge" flow . . . ), the next pictures tell me that this is exciting, beautiful matter at work, and perceivable fact -- flame, lightning, plasma screens, auroras and the awesome Magnetosphere.



As to the lack of a response after a year, I would suggest you get in there and revise and expand - add a few links. The beauty of this stuff is the actual big fat thick wad of work that has been published. If you link to some of that, you give folks more to explore and chew on, I figure.
