The study of astrophysics in modern times should essentially involve the application of laboratory results to cosmical problems, with help from theoretical physics. In the realm of plasma physics, there appears to be no reason why known basic laws, formulated in the laboratory, should not hold just as well at the astrophysical and cosmological scale.
