View full profile →

Hannes Alfvén (1908–1995) was a Swedish plasma physicist and Nobel laureate (1970) who pioneered magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and plasma cosmology. He challenged mainstream astrophysics with his plasma-based models of the universe, emphasizing electromagnetic forces over gravity, and was a vocal critic of Big Bang cosmology.
