Abstract
The fiber theory of plasmas has been developed as an alternative description to conventional MHD, and some of its aspects are reviewed. Cosmic plasmas described in terms of the fiber theory have very different properties from those predicted by traditional methods. For example, cosmic current filaments can store magnetic energy internally, so that intense electric activity is not necessarily observable in terms of a magnetic field
