We briefly discuss the probable role of a fractal condensed matter which has been suggested to be the responsible for self-similar skeletal structures observed in a very wide range of length scales in laboratory electric discharges and cosmic space. The presence of skeletons self-assembled from nanodust and embedded in, and to some extent hidden by, the ambient plasma was suggested to provide observed unexpected longevity of some filaments in laboratory plasmas. The hypothesis for the presence of similar internal skeleton in cosmic filaments allows, to our mind, to strengthen and substantially extend the H. Alfvén's approach to underestimated role of electrodynamics, including that of plasmas, in the Universe.
