My understanding is that the "waves" of them pile up at the edge of solar
space much in the same way waves get closer and cause more turbulence at the
edge of a pond after you through a pebble into it. It isn't totally
comparable, but that is how it was explained to me.

Subject: [NatureNS] Giant plasma bubble
Dear All, Sept 5, 2012
Voyager 1 (Chron.Hrld. Sept. 5; B5) is about to exit the Solar system
"...which is enveloped in a giant plasma bubble. This hot and turbulent area
is created by a stream of charged particles from the sun." "Outside the
bubble...scientists expect a calmer environment."
Why would charged particles from the sun (inverse square law) have a
greater effect just beyond the solar system than near the sun ?
