I have started a new thread,
Apparent inconsistencies in our scientific understanding of comets:
I hope this thread (The Electric Comet Theory /SAFIRE Part V) will, from now on, be reserved for discussion of electric comet models, SAFIRE, and closely related topics.
Here is my understanding of what some of the key elements of all electric comet models are:
- comets origins are the solid surface of Earth
- they are created by giant lighting bolts
- such as are common when Venus comes within ~tens of thousands of kms of the Earth
- most are young, say a few thousand years old
- comets are solid rock
- comets exhibit cometary behavior due to the passage through the intense electric field which is centered on the Sun
- AND their high static charge
- AND their highly elliptical orbits
- comet tails and jets are caused by EDM
- water observed on comets is due to electrochemistry
Please feel free to add other key components that I may have misssed.
