winston h. bostick -lrb- march 5 , 1916 - january 19 , 1991 -rrb- was an american physicist who discovered plasmoids , plasma focus , and plasma vortex phenomena .
he simulated cosmical astrophysics with laboratory plasma experiments , and showed that hubble expansion can be produced with repulsive mutual induction between neighboring galaxies acting as homopolar generators .
his work on plasmas provided evidence for finite-sized elementary particles and the composition of strings , but this is not accepted by mainstream science .
