[edit] Summary

Cosmic Triple Jump. Hannes Alfvén suggested that by scaling laboratory plasma experiment results by a factor of 10⁹ makes them applicable to magnetospheric conditions. Another scaling jump of 10⁹ makes the results applicable to galactic conditions, and a third jump of 10⁹ takes us out to the Hubble distance.
