DESCRIPTION:"Why\, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible t
 hings before breakfast."<br>
\n~Lewis Carroll. Alice in Wonderland.<br
 >
\nOrder and stability in the giant world of stars and galaxies is do
 minated by the force of gravity. In contrast\, the tiny world of atomi
 c and subatomic particles is held together by nuclear and quantum forc
 es. As one sizes up from the subatomic to the astronomical scales\, a 
 natural question emerges: What universal principles govern the world o
 f the “in-between”? What happens to the laws of nature when the ti
 me and spatial scales change from large to small? In this talk\, I inv
 ite you to a journey through the mesoscopic wonderland of dusty plasma
 \, where principles are semi-classical\, forces are non-linear\, therm
 odynamics is non-equilibrium\, and dimensions are quasi-defined. We wi
 ll tour this almost impossible world by exploring dusty plasmas across
  scales\, in nature and laboratory\, both on Earth and in space.<br>
