English: Cosmic Triple Jump. Hannes Alfvén suggested that by scaling laboratory plasma experiment results by a factor of 109 makes them applicable to magnetospheric conditions. Another scaling jump of 109 makes the results applicable to galactic conditions, and a third jump of 109 takes us out to the Hubble distance. Image created by Ian Tresman, based on the illustration in On hierarchical cosmology by Alfven, H., in Astrophysics and Space Science (ISSN 0004-640X), vol. 89, no. 2, Jan. 1983, p. 313-324.
