What is Plasma?

Description: Plasma makes up 99.9% of the visible universe, but what is it? This video discusses what plasma is, where it lives, and how NASA studies it.

Great video, thank you 👍

Universe is so energized, positive.
There must be an opposite universe where everything is negatively charged.

Isn’t that what dark matter is?

How is it possible for space which separate stars and galaxies be filled with a small amount of plasma which requires substantial amount of heat? Isn't empty space far from stars a very cold place? Can anybody answer?

[@cagdashy8959]

Melisacım bu yazacagim genel olarak sorunun cevabı olmamakla beraber , ionize maddenin bulunduğu alanlar oldukça sicak oluyor( elektrik iletken ısı yalıtkan??) Mesela atmosferin uzayla kaynaştıgı katmanda sicaklik 12.000 derece. Ionize maddenin cok seyrek de olda bulunduğu alanlarda sicakligin nasil bu kadar farkli olabileceğine benim de kafam pek basmıyor

Don’t think of plasma as hot , think of it as energised particles

[@madisonelya9528]

@@Dandylion1001don’t those energized particles come from heat?

[@Dandylion1001]

@@madisonelya9528 that’s what heat is, Energy , if you heat or energise a particle it will stay that way until it can transfer that energy to something at a lower energy

Would it be correct to define Space as a Plasmic field or substance??

[@sivaforutube]

It is like a Timhortons drive through at 10:00 pm

[@atomicsmith]

Plans exists in space, but space in theory, could exist without plasma. You would probably have to get outside our Galaxy to find that condition

If we are made of solid, liquid and gas
Are there some alien species made of plasma

[@scientensity]

Why didn't charge recombine in plasma as they are oppositely charged

[@ardaerenaylkc7458]

Too much energy for separating electrons to orbit

플라즈마에 대해 온전히 알 수는 없지만 분명한 사실은, 플라즈마 기술이 에너지 분야를 넘어 무기 기술로 사용된다면, 그 가공할 파괴력은 인간이 더 이상 감당 불가하다는 사실 일 것 입니다.
그렇지 아니한지요?
