RE: Comets - A Brief Primer

in #steemstem7 years ago

With all due respect; can a spectrograph tell the difference between a water molecule and disassociated hydrogen and oxygen atoms especially at those distances involved?

It is folly to compare the electric universe theory to flat earth as by doing so you are demeaning many prominent scientists of the past century from Sir Fred Hoyle to Irving Langmuir, Hannes Alfven, Kristian Birkeland and many more. I note that you are neither knighted nor are you a Nobel laureate and seem to have no regard for the wisdom of Karl Popper. It also suggests an emotional attachment to your beliefs, which is anathema to scientific progress. I have no doubt that you are a very learned man with a well organized intellect and I, in no way, question your accomplishments, but, even geniuses can be wrong.

Plasma constitutes 99.6% of the observable universe. Double Layers, Alfven lectured at the Marshall Space Flight Center on Double Layers in Astrophysics, "should be treated as a new type of celestial object". ~ https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19870005703.pdf

There are only two ways to produce a magnetic field, one is with the use of a dynamo, the other is through electric current, just about every instance of a so-called "magnetic rope" or a magnetic field in space is an indicater of electric currents. Double layers allow for a separation of charge and plasma is highly conductive with very little resistance. Alfven is also known for his modelling of the heliospheric current sheet as a "ballerina skirt"

The undulatory nature of this configuration has a conductor(plasma) moving through magnetic fields which anyone with a basic electrical background knows produces electric current.

Kristen Birkeland mocked and demeaned by the likes of the great Lord Kelvin(because he believed space was empty) in his day for his postulations regarding electric currents in space was proven correct decades later with the observation of Birkeland currents in the ionosphere. His experimental work with his terrelaa showed significant evidence of the electric nature of the sun and the solar system, Saturn's rings etc.

A paper by Dr.Don Scott modelling Birkeland currents as having double layers rotating in opposite directions.

I often see those of the standard model try to dismiss the electric potential in space by saying things such as the charge is "nearly balanced" therefore neutral. This is like saying a woman is nearly pregnant. Either it is or it isn't. If the charge is nearly balanced that means it is slightly out of balance, and considering double layers and the highly conductive nature of plasma, any slightly out of balance charge has an electrical potential. To further the argument, a battery has charge balanced but connect the poles with a load and you have current flow.

So, are you in the game or out of the game as Karl Popper puts it? Do you believe the science is settled? Are you a modern day Lord Kelvin clinging to antiquated beliefs? In the end it doesn't really matter to me what you choose to believe and if any of my words find you offended, well, I apologize. As I do hope that we can, at the very least, agree to disagree respectfully.

Can you post references from Sir Fred Hoyle, Irving Langmuir, Hannes Alfven and Kristian Birkeland regarding Electric Comet Theory? I mean where they directly commented on it? I'm betting you can't....

So, what are you willing to bet?

It took me a while but I found a link to Birkeland's theories on comets. https://www.plasma-universe.com/Comets:_Kristian_Birkeland%27s_theory

This is all in his book 'The Norwegian Aurora Polaris Expedition, 1902-1903'

By the way, I did see your fakebook post referring to me. It left me feeling sorry for you.

Peace

Lol. You would win that bet because electric comet theory was not their forte per se. But all those mentioned were supporters of electric theories pertaining to astrophysics, whether it is electric-plasma models of the solar system, the sun and the universe in general as I somewhat already outlined. And being as they supported the electric universe hypothesis it is not a stretch to think that they would not contradict the electric comet hypothesis.

But, I understand why you ask such a question as it is merely an attempt at avoidance as no-one likes to face the possibility that after years of investment they may be wrong.

One of the reasons I like talking to those with a different opinion than mine is that it challenges me in my opinion when they take the intellectual scientific route. What you have done is absolutely not that. You could talk science with me and critically discuss the ideas I have presented but instead, you have done the opposite, you asked a question which you already knew the answer to. Oh well. I guess I am not worthy. lol

I guess you are, as Karl Popper said, no longer in the game as a scientist.

Looking forward to your next post.
Peace

Lol. Thank you for proving my point.
