Plasma Universe predictions

Successful predictions attributed to the Plasma Universe (and Plasma Cosmology), and its pioneers and proponents, are considerable.

Hannes Alfvén

Seven predictions attributed by Professor of the History of Science, Stephen G. Brush, include:^[1] (1) magnetic braking (2) magnetohydrodynamic waves (3) field-aligned ("Birkeland") currents (4) critical ionization velocity (5) rings of Uranus (6) jet streams (7) electrostatic double layers (8) partial corotation ("2/3 effect")
