Abstract
Plasma physics has recently opened up new vistas in astronomy based on the interaction of electric and magnetic fields. Yet the magnitude of these electric and magnetic interactions is dependent upon the strength of the Zero Point Energy (ZPE) which controls the properties of the vacuum. The physical evidence indicates that the ZPE strength has increased with time. This has the effect of reducing voltages and current strengths and the speed of plasma interactions as time increased. Research indicates that a weaker ZPE in earlier times has the ability to account for some otherwise inexplicable astronomical phenomena. In particular, it gives a new understanding of the role played by electro-magnetic processes earlier in the history of our solar system. Several examples are discussed.
