Is there something like this lab situation in outer space? Yes. You already know the Earth is a magnet with a north and south pole. Well, the sun is a magnet too and all the other suns. Paraphrasing Carl Sagan we can say, "In our galaxy, we have billions and billions of magnets." Many of these are trapped in what we call a binary star system. In such a system, two stars circle each other with mutual respect. Gravity keeps them together; centrifugal force keeps them apart. Imagine the kind of electricity generated by two magnets of that size. House circuits usually carry fifteen or twenty amps while two suns can generate billions of amps with electricity shooting along the space-plasma "wires." As the particles fly through space, they pass billions of other large and small magnets and finally get to us all jumbled up and coming from all different directions.
Let's say an artist is going to paint a picture of some horses in a mural to be fifty by one hundred feet in size, but he doesn't draw the sketch on the wall. He first draws a small version, perhaps five by ten feet or two by four feet. Then he might use a projector to expand his drawing onto the wall and trace the lines. Any method will work as long as the proportions stay the same making the horses' heads match their bodies in size.
We can expand a teeny experiment to the size of the universe if we use electromagnetism as our projector because the proportions stay the same no matter how big we get. Let's say we have an experiment only a few inches across in size that takes a fraction of a second to run. Multiply the size by a billion, and we're at the size of the Earth with its northern lights; the duration ends up being exactly a billion times our partial second in the lab.
