In our paper we support the idea that at first glance very different topics in space physics and astrophysics, respectively, can include similar aspects such that progress made in one field may help to solve open questions in the other one. For these purposes we present recent results considering the occurrence of thin current sheets in the near-earth plasma sheet which are discussed to be of importance in the context of magnetospheric substorms. Studying this problem one comes upon a substantial open question referring to resistivity. An answer to that question may be found by the help of a theory for the collisionless relaxation which has been formulated first with respect to gravitating systems.
