In this paper, I write up a lot of facts about Bousfield classes known previously to Mike Hopkins, and I discover some new ones. Stating the chromatic splitting conjecture precisely is probably the most important feature of the paper, but I was pretty happy with some of the results as well. In particular, I show that a finite torsion spectrum is local with respect to any infinite collection of Morava K-theories, and that the only smashing localization that doesn't kill any finites is the identity (p-locally). This paper is probably the clearest statement so far of Mike's philosophy that K(n)-localization is the fundamental category for stable homotopy theorists to understand. However, it must be confessed that this philosophy has not been fully borne out as yet. In particular, I expected people to make at least a little progress on the chromatic splitting conjecture, and that has not happened. Ethan Devinatz has shown its relevance to Freyd's generating hypothesis, which is one of the main reasons Mike made the conjecture. By the way, there is a mistake in this paper. In the appendix I claim inverse limits of cofiber sequences are cofiber sequences, but that is wrong in general. In the particular case I need it for, it still works, but I won't prove it for you unless you really want me to.
