Science headlines in September of 2017
have delivered perhaps the final nails in the coffin
of the dirty snowball hypothesis of comets
while affirming the predictions of the electric comet theory.
So stark are the respective successes and failures of the opposing theories
it raises serious questions not only about the state of comet science
but also of institutional science as a whole.
Our first headline comes from the official website of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
Scientists enlisted the use of the telescope after discovering a comet
between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus.
The comet, called C/2017 K2 is historic
because it's the farthest inbound comet ever seen that has become active
at an incredible 1.5 billion miles away
or 16 astronomical units (AU).
At such a distance from the Sun the temperatures are -440 ºF.
Comet ice is not supposed to sublimate at distances beyond just 3 AU.
Unfortunately, the Hubble press release on this amazing discovery
reveals it has had no effect at all on the assumptions behind consensus comet theory.
The press release states,
"A solitary frozen traveller has been journeying for millions of years
toward the heart of our planetary system.
The wayward vagabond, a city-sized snowball of ice and dust called a comet,
was gravitationally kicked out of the Oort Cloud...
its frigid home at the outskirts of the solar system.
This region is a vast comet storehouse, composed of icy leftover building blocks
from the construction of the planets 4.6 billion years ago."
Neither the existence of a hypothetical Oort Cloud
nor the treasured 4.6 billion year history of our solar system
have been proven scientifically.
Indeed as we've reported for 5 years on this series,
countless theory shattering discoveries
have sent scientists searching for entirely new theories of planet and star formation.
But perhaps most astounding is the continued description of a comet as a
"snowball of ice and dust".
That such a description is published in a report on a comet
that is active at a billion and a half miles from the Sun
reveals a disturbing disconnect from scientific discovery.
Today it is not merely "alternative theorists"
such as those in the Electric Universe community
who say that the dirty snowball hypothesis has been falsified.
In the last week, the European Space Agency released the last image
that was sent by the Rosetta space probe as it crashed into the surface of Comet 67P.
Perhaps for the first time we see the world's largest news outlets discussing comets
with no attempt to convince the public that comets are dirty snowballs.
Rather, the outlets acknowledged what any human being can see with his or her own eyes;
the comet is made of rock,
desiccated, stratified, blackened
and strewn with rubble and debris.
It is as far from a "dirty snowball" as any comet could be.
In fact, it was 3 years ago that Rosetta scientist dr. Nicholas Thomas said,
"Rosetta has blown the dirty snowball idea out of the water."
The incredible images from the Rosetta probe
affirmed the statement beyond any possible doubt.
In the last week, the ESA released more than 1,000 images
of the 67P nucleus, for public download.
Let us juxtapose the respective predictive theories of a comet's composition and origins
as proposed by official science
versus those of the chief principals of The Thunderbolts Project.
Comet science has maintained for many decades
that comets are aggregates of ice and dust
that formed through a process of accretion or condensation
out in the "Siberia of the solar system".
The image on the left is an artistic rendering of the expected surface of a comet
prior to the mission to comet Halley in 1986.
On the right is a slightly modified depiction
which Rosetta scientists expected to find at 67P.
In contrast, the electric comet theory, as proposed by The Thunderbolts Project,
has always stated that comets, as well as asteroids and meteoroids,
were electrically excavated from planetary surfaces.
The desiccated, rocky, rubble strewn and complexly layered 67P nucleus
are all the predicted features of the Electric Comet theory.
In countless 67P images we see what can only be described as planetary features.
We see stunning evidence for stratification,
a geological process that is found in most sedimentary rocks
and is thought to result from eons of wind and water erosion.
Of course, such layered rock material was never expected by comet scientists.
A, so-called, snowball of ice and dust that is thought to lose surface material
through sublimation of volatiles and outgassing
has no business showing features that appear indistinguishable
from canyons and cliff faces in the American Southwest.
These undeniably planetary features on a comet
mark an extraordinary success for the Electric Comet theory
but with no acknowledgement to date from official science.
If any doubt had remained about the dire need for astronomers
to entertain radically new theories of comet origins,
the discovery of stratified rock on a comet surely underscores the urgency.
In our next episode we will continue to explore these game-changing discoveries
including the Electric Universe interpretation of comet activity at 16 AU
and we will address the questions of comet density and comet water production,
lingering obstacles for scientists who still see comets as dirty snowballs.
In conclusion, we pose the oft asked question:
Is science self-corrective?
As we ponder this question, look at the pictures.
The NASA Space Agency still describes bodies such as these as
"snowballs of ice and dust".
Look at the pictures,
let us entertain for a moment that these distinctly planetary features exist on a comet
because the comet was torn from a planet.
Look at the pictures
and let us consider the world of new and exhilarating possibilities
that await in the electric universe.
