Hannes Alfven Quotes
A collection of quotes by Hannes Alfven.
Hannes Alfvén (1908-1995) was a Swedish physicist and scientist known for his breakthrough discoveries in the field of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). He developed the concept of plasma physics, emphasizing the importance of magnetic fields and their effect on the behavior of highly ionized gases. Alfvén's work in MHD theory significantly contributed to our understanding of space plasma physics, the dynamics of cosmic rays, and the formation of star systems. In recognition of his immense contributions, Alfvén was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1970.
