A current problem in plasma physics <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics> is that observed reconnection happens much faster than predicted by MHD in high Lundquist number <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lundquist_number> plasmas: solar flares, for example, proceed 13-14 orders of magnitude faster than a naive calculation would suggest, and several orders of magnitude faster than current theoretical models that include turbulence and kinetic effects.
