How do rocky comets relate to the EU theory ? And don't like to a paper or someone else's work this time : explain it in your own words.
In my
own words ??? now don't you go all JT on me . I'll use any words or papers/articles
I choose to get the idea or point across.
So ... How do rocky comets relate to the EU theory ?
First the words of the NASA article where it started ...
Embers from a Rock Comet
Everyone has heard of "comets"--icy visitors from the outer solar system that sprout long tails of gas and dust when they come close to the sun. But what is a rock comet?
A "rock comet" is a new kind of object being discussed by astronomers. It is, essentially, an asteroid that comes very close to the sun--so close that solar heating scorches dusty debris right off its rocky surface. Rock comets could thus grow comet-like tails that produce meteor showers on Earth.
3200 Phaethon has an unusual orbit that brings it deep inside the orbit of Mercury. When this happens, it brightens and sprouts a little tail in mimicry of a comet. A team of astronomers led by Dave Jewitt of UCLA have been monitoring 3200 Phaethon using NASA's twin STEREO probes. They think that intense solar heating blasts the asteroid's rocky surface, causing 3200 Phaethon to shed meteoroids like embers spitting off a log in a roaring campfire.
So, according to NASA ... Rock comets could thus grow comet-like tails / has an unusual orbit / it brightens and sprouts a little tail in mimicry of a comet.
So
THEY compare it to a regular comet
RIGHT?
However, there is a problem ...
Rock Comet Meteor Shower
So, according to the STEREO observations, 3200 Phaethon does behave like a rock comet.
The “rock comet” hypothesis is compelling, but Jewett and Li point out a problem: The amount of dust 3200 Phaethon ejected during its sun-encounter added a paltry 0.01% to the mass of the Geminid debris stream, not enough to keep the debris stream stocked up with meteoroids for the annual display of shooting stars. 3200 Phaethon is not spewing enough dust to account for the Geminids.
Could the rock comet have been more active in the past....? "We just don't know," says Cooke.
So, according to NASA ... The “rock comet” hypothesis is compelling but they need the thing to be more active maybe in the past.
Given the above the
Thunderbolts guys are entitled (imho) to say ...

Well, I don't know about you, but that is just ... amazing. A rocky asteroid decides it had enough, takes the plunge, gets its rocky dust 'blown' off its rocky surface by scorching heat (!), and like the little rocky caterpillar that it was transforms in a tailed mimicry of an cometary butterfly, sprinkling fairy fireballs and magical meteors over Earth.
My hats of to the astronomers. ***stands up and gives a one-man-ovation***
ps. Its probably just the way this article is popularised, the paper about such things must be far more intricate...it must be.
Obviously you just don't understand all the careful research, the horrendous number-crunching and rigorous scientific reasoning it took to come up with the meticulously worded explanation that it: "sprouts a little tail in mimicry of a comet", because "solar heating scorches dusty debris right off" ...
Haven't you ever burnt your toast, and thrown it across the room ?
This is an example of paradigm creep. Moving toward the EC model without any acknowledgement. When the EC model is finally accepted, of course no credit will be given and they will say "we knew that for quite some time."
That is enough for me to confirm "How do rocky comets relate to the EU theory ?" but, I guess,
NOT you Belz
Given that the mainstream on this thread has denied that
Electric Comets can be ROCK I think it's hilarious to consider Rock comets from NASA
You see the
Electric Comets hypothesis , briefly as I understand it, says that the comets nucleus is a charged object moving in a eccentric path around
the Electric Sun ploughing though it's weak electric field. Sure the Sun has an electric field ... what else could be accelerating the solar wind to over a million miles and hour out past the planets? eh? Tom / tusenfem ???
The only thing I know can hurl vast quantities of charged matter
AWAY from the
STRONGEST gravity source in our solar system
IS an electric field. eh? Tom / tusenfem ??? What ELSE could do it ?? explosive force doesn't cut it ! the stuff is
ACCELERATING away ... it doesn't slow down !!!
So this charged comet nucleus moving through the electrified dusty real plasma that is the Suns solar wind forms a
plasma sheath, as do ALL the planets being charged bodies too. But the electrical stress can't be dealt with quickly enough as the electric field of the Sun gets stronger the closer it approaches and the
plasma sheath enters glow mode making the Electric Comets so called "coma and tail" unlike the charged planets dark mode
plasma sheaths.
BTW did you know
Venus plasma sheath (in dark mode) is over 45 million kilometres long and almost touches the Earths
plasma sheath (mainstream call it the Magnetosphere)
So bringing this back to "How do rocky comets relate to the EU theory ?" it should be fairly obvious by now
How much of a charge does the Rock comet or Electric comet have in relation to the Suns electrical environment at the time determines the size and intensity of the coma and tail (
plasma sheath) and as we have seen from
Electric Comet Holmes 17P this electric environment of the Sun can change even as the charged bodies move away from the strongest electric field due to a large spike in the density of the solar wind on October 22 two days before the amazing reaction by Electric Comet Holmes 17P.
Thornhill suggested that:
Quote:
"Outbursts from comets at great distances from the Sun seem to be correlated with a sudden change in the solar 'wind' plasma environment due to a solar storm. The point about sudden comet outbursts is that we are dealing with a sudden, discontinuous process of plasma discharge - a switch from dark current mode to normal glow mode. It is a complex surface phenomenon that cannot be predicted. The best we can do is to say that the passage of a sudden change in the solar wind is the most likely time to see a flareup."

This spike likely switched the comet into normal glow mode and allowed it to grow. Once in normal glow mode, the plasma coma does not require a sustained voltage to maintain that mode.
How these Rock comets and Electric Comets become charged is less important imho. Electric Comets spend most of their time far far away from the stronger electric field closer to our variable star the Sun (
here and
here) and in a much much weaker electrical environment and acquire the charge difference there. There are other mechanisms known for bodies to become charged ...

I could go on but I'd better not bore you any further and I suspect you don't accept my view ... I can live with that
But you should be in
NO doubt
WHY ........
rock comets relate to the EU theory 
.
! . Which reminds me to add the latest evidence against the electric comet idea (thank you Haig 
)
