Abstract :
The author believes that the modern-day foundations of the plasma universe can be traced to a significant degree to the International Astronomical Union Symposium number 6 held in August, 1956, in Stockholm. He offers a few observations on the subjects and presentations at the Symposium which interest him most and the developments over the last three decades which have been closest to his own work
