It does seem that subject of plasma is a much broader topic than what we have been
led to believe.

The old adage that plasma can only exist at high temperatures, seems to be only half of the story. (Per "The Electric Universe" (2007) -Thornhill and Talbott: All of "Empty space" (aka CMB) IS plasma).

A relatively new perspective informs that cold plasmas exist in the body; sometimes called bio-plasmas. Additionally, a very hot plasma current, may pass adjacent to a cold plasma without thermally affecting its neighbor.

Metaphysical new-kid on the block Kevin Cann, (see Jeff Mishlove "New Thinking Allowed") discusses this plasma business in his 'theory of everything,' called "Platonic Surrealism;" and specifically in his pdf, "Everything there is to Know about Summoning UFOs."

From Kevin Cann's pdf :

‘Cold Plasma’ in the body is part of the human heritage we all have.
A form of this can also work as ‘telepathy’

Here are some excerpts from July 2025 interview with S Burns:

Robert Temple Interview on Stefan Burns podcast

“Advanced INTERSTELLAR Intelligence with Robert Temple”

[R Temple] If we want to carry out genuine SETI that host for any actual results, forget about the rocky planets and the radio waves - And concentrate on understanding "inorganic intelligence" which will always be in some sense, “dusty complex plasma.”

You have to have the dust or you might as well forget it because plasma without dust is not interesting except in the "voids which exist" within plasma-entities; because you can't have a uniform-plasma in an intelligent plasma entity.

You'll have to have voids which are dust-free, literally - “voids”
which form geometrical lattices And this work on studying the lattices of voids was done many decades ago by the great unknown genius Victor Goldschmidt

(Ed: Victor Moritz Goldschmidt (1888 – 1947) was a Norwegian-Jewish mineralogist considered (together with Vladimir Vernadsky) to be the founder of modern geochemistry and crystal chemistry)

who was a crystallographer and this kind of work is also being resumed because the first “void” in “dusty complex plasma” was actually spotted in 1996 and in 1999 various papers started to (10:57) appear on this and it became widely known among the most advanced plasma scientists that void-formations in plasma. which were empty areas cleared of dust were not only there and were not only geometrical lattices but appear to be necessary.

So we're talking about dusty complex plasmas, self-organizing as - intelligent entities through what is often called emergence, and to reach the intelligent state they would be in
“self-organized criticality” at a critical point.

This is something that was worked out in complexity theory. This the concept of “self-organized criticality” was - and this is not in my book, any of this stuff, was originated by a a brilliant Danish scientist called Pere Bak.

Per is his first name which is quite a common Danish first name but his surname is a bit unusual it's just B- A K "Bach." So, Pear Bak, may not look like much of a name, but he sure was a genius and unfortunately he died early having made huge strides. And he was the person who first articulated the concept of * "self-organized criticality" *

which is similar to the “far from equilibrium” states (Ed: See also Sal Pais Patents on "far from equilibrium" pertaining to delaying the onset of thermal phenomena (Pais 2019 0348597 A1PIEZOELECTRICITY -INDUCED HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTOR)) identified by and written up at great length by the wonderful *Ilya Prigogine*

Now, I did meet Prigogine, but of course, I never met Bak and he's no relation (12:49) to the guy who wrote um the Fugues; although, it may be that the surname is the same.
It's just in a German form in one case and a Danish form in the other. I hadn't thought of that until this moment, but that's what makes sense to me. It's the same surname spelled in the conventions of two different languages that are related.

[Stefan Burns]: They're both geniuses.

[R Temple]: Well, that's right. Yes. And so we could put the two of them together and they'd
be "Bach-to-Bak" [Laughter]

[Stefan Burns]: You laid out some info on how these voids can form and even how plasma seems to be forming “cellular structures.” I know that Hannes Alfvén talks about a potential cellular structure in interstellar-space due to plasma.

[R Temple]: Why don't I just quickly explain about how plasma was discovered?
It it was first discovered in 1879 by [Sir William Crookes 1832 – 1919) English chemist and physicist] Sir William Crookes, a British scientist who invented the vacuum tube. Those were very important - until um transistors came along. And um he was messing about uh which is the fun that scientists sometimes indulge in with their inventions.

And he noticed strange things going on inside his vacuum tubes. Ad he studied it and played with it and decided that what was going on was that there was a new state of matter being

formed within these tubes which he called "radiant matter"; and that's what it was called until 1929 when an American scientist called Langmuir (Ed: Irving Langmuir coined the term "plasma" in 1929 to describe a gas that becomes ionized and conductive, resembling 'blood-plasma' in its ability to carry various charged particles) changed "radiant matter" to plasma, and it's been called that ever-since.

So what is it? Crookes was most insistent from the very beginning that this is what he called a new stage of matter or a fourth stage of matter, gas, liquid and solid being in his mind at that time the three known states of matter. But he said this is quite different and (15:50) we now know that plasma itself exists in at least four states that is gaseous, liquid, solid and crystal, crystalline.

Crystalline being another form of solid you could say. Although the crystallized structure that can take place in the formation of blobs of plasma is extremely important could be considered a different phase. And um it was Winston Bostic(Ed?) later who was playing around with what are known as plasmoids.

(Ed: Important) A plasmoid um is a blob of plasma surrounded by a kind of skin which they call a sheath. This Sheath is double-layered in the same way that cell membranes are double layered although double layered with different things.

And these sheets of plasmoids are very effective because you can have these plasma blobs take on fantastically complex structure within this the sheath and be in all sorts of strange states of extremely hot, extremely cold and be next to a plasmoid which is quite opposite.
