1) The plasma universe model views electro-magnetism as an important force shaping the universe alongside gravity. It sees galaxies and larger structures as forming through plasma filamentation processes rather than solely through gravitational collapse. 2) It proposes that the cosmic microwave background radiation is caused by synchrotron radiation from electrons spiraling around magnetic field lines rather than being leftover radiation from the Big Bang. 3) Stars form within galaxies in this model through the same plasma filamentation and condensation processes as the larger structures, and the model can potentially explain the observed density profiles and expansion of the visible universe through a process involving the separation and explosive interactions of primordial matter and antimatter regions.
