Using a microscopic photo of one thing to explain something else that’s very large isn’t exactly the best science I’ve ever seen.

I donned my hip-waders about halfway through this article....

Why?

So far the Fred Whipple school of "dirty snowball" or (later, after they didn't find what they expected) "snowy dirtball," cometologists have been stymied at every turn with their predictions of what they would find on comet flybys and actual comet contacts. Their predictions were simply flat out wrong.

On the other hand, the electrical theorists have predicted every finding... before the contacts. They made, and published days before the impact, specific predictions of what would happen when "Deep Impact" space probe struck Comet Tempel 1.

They were right... for example, as predicted by the electrical theorists, less than 1/100th the amount of "water" expected by the orthodox cometologists was released by the impact... and even that was in the form of a hydroxyl (OH) not water... the impact flash was a double flash, and several orders of magnitude brighter than expected... the impact crater was either non-existent of so small as to be indistinguishable from other craters... the telemetry equipment on the impacter quit working microseconds before the impact.. and many more. Nineteen specific predictions were made and 18 were found correct.

The proof of any theory is in its ability to predict future observations and events... and the orthodox theory has failed. It has been falsified, yet the cometologists cling to it, trying to squish and squeeze the facts to fit.

None of the predictions made by the orthodox cometologists was found to be true... until they squished and squoze the facts... for instance the OH was announced to be "water" at a press conference six months after the impact.

Perhaps it is time to consider another model... one that has a better track record of prediction.

Very interesting ... worth thinking about ... It’s going to be telling how many mainstream astronomers begin to reconsider ramifications of these observations.
