Nobody here is going to like this comment but I recommend you look into Electric Universe theory and Plasma Cosmology.

It all sounds rather pretty but I'm not aware of a single testable hypothesis associated with it, or at least a testable hypothesis that anyone is willing to put forward and have immediately demolished. The Rosetta mission should have turned up some intense magnetic field readings if the Electric Universe theory is true . . . but it didn't. Then again the only people I know who espouse the theory can't begin to explain what electromagnetic fields are anyway.

I looked and Wikipedia has "As of 2015, the vast majority of researchers openly reject plasma cosmology because it does not match modern observations".

Care you explain why exactly you think this stuff is worth considering? I have to admit, I'd never heard of either before now, but a quick reading of the Wikipedia page on Plasma Cosmology does not leave me with much enthusiasm for the topic.
