A new definition of information is proposed that is minimalistic and incorporates a lifetime requirement for conditions, (which we define here) applied to anything that can be considered to be information. The definition explicitly treats a state in

The consistency is awesome between over a dozen observations and the paradigm of radio lobes being immense sources of magnetic energy, flux, and relativistic electrons, – a magnetized universe.The greater the total energy of an astrophysical phenom

It is shown that a dynamo can operate in an Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) accretion disk due to the Keplerian shear and due to the helical motions of expanding and twisting plumes of plasma heated by many star passages through the disk. Each plume rot

A magnetic field dynamo in the inner regions of the accretion disk surrounding the supermassive black holes in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) may be the mechanism for the generation of magnetic fields in galaxies and in extragalactic space. We argue t

We suggest a new approach that could be used for modeling both the large scale behavior of astrophysical jets and the magnetically dominated explosions in astrophysics. We describe a method for modeling the injection of magnetic fields and their subs

The mechanism for efficient and coherent angular momentum transport remains one of the unsolved puzzles in astrophysics despite the enormous efforts that have been made. We suggest that important new insight could be gained in this problem through an

Giant radio galaxies (GRGs) are prime and unique laboratories for constraining the plasma processes that accelerate relativistic electrons within large intergalactic volumes. The evidence for short radiative loss times rules out certain scenarios for

We propose a universal, astrophysically based theory of the origin of life on Earth and on other rocky planets as well. Life is an information system where the information content grows because of selection. It must start with the minimum possible in

A fluid-flow experiment was performed in water to investigate how an expanding pulsed jet rotates when injected off-axis into a rotating annular flow. The pulsed jet simulates a large-scale rising plume in a stellar or accretion disk environment. In

This paper describes the study of a force-free plasma with an initial sheet-pinch configuration ∇×B=−αB, where α is a scalar constant, using both linear theory and 2-1/2 dimensional particle-in-cell simulations with doubly periodic boundary co
