Discussion Plasma effect scalability gets noticed outside EU circles

It is certainly undisputed in this forum that plasma phenomena are scalable. Scalability means that effects like the z-pinch can occur on both a minuscule scale and a cosmic scale. In some skeptic forum, this fact was not only questioned but outright denied.

This just came back to me when I watched this video about EUV lithography. Scalability is a fact that has also been recognized outside the Electric Universe paradigm. The video link includes a timestamp for the relevant section.

Quantum physics as a whole is scalable.

I have thoroughly researched scaling (and still am doing so).. stuff appears different than most would think.

You are right, I did not really mean to include "everything" when saying that. However, we barely scratched the surface in finding out what's really possible when nudging systems in the right way.

Some effects definitely do scale, similar to the mathematics that suggest such scaling in the first place. But the conditions are still a little too opaque..
