And the same guy has a broad-based FAQ on Elenin: Comet Elenin: the FAQ for the worried.
The REASON I am intrigued by Mensur’s paper is that THE COMET SHOULD NOT BE IN IT!
This Astroblog guy has more credentials than a Physicist from the European Royal Society? The Astroblog debunker assumes that the only factor here is a comet in the alignments described, which does make the paper nonsense, I agree. So, if we assume that there is ONLY a comet at the locations of Elenin, then Astroblog is right and the paper is junk.
Mensur Omerbashich leaves out any statements about the Comet Elenin’s mass, or why it is incredulous that it is in his paper.
If there is JUST a comet, the mass is like a feather compared to anything else in the paper. And is also much less than the asteroid NEOs that the biologist lists as conspicuously missing.
I feel that the asteroids are missing from the paper for the same reason that the comet SHOULD be missing. They are not massive enough to matter.
Here is the big question.
Why is the comet in Mensur’s paper?
What isn’t said, is WHY the alignments of Elenin appear to have a coincidence with the large earthquakes, just as other massive planetary alignments do?
The implication is that the comet isn’t a comet, but something else more massive. They have shown pictures of it, so I believe there is a comet there.
Could there be something else, of large mass involved with the trajectory of the comet? This is unknown to us.
The comet doesn’t belong in Mensur’s paper, so WHY does Cornell University allow him to continue with updating it, and hosting it for him? They, even more than the biologist in Australia, should be laughing him right off their website, shouldn’t they?
Why did NASA redirect the STEREO B spacecraft to look at the comet? Did they take any OTHER pictures they did NOT publish? Could those pictures have been of a massive object somewhere else?
I don’t know, and I bet neither do all the raving lunatics on this forum.
If someone does know about some massive object which could explain WHY the comet is in Mensur’s paper, and they are just shouting me down, I guess I understand. We wouldn’t want to panic people. That could make it difficult to make orderly preparations, right?
Comet C/2010 X1 Elenin failed to disturb the orbit of a tiny asteroid after passing only .002 AU away from it.
And somehow some morons expect it to cause earthquakes here on Earth?
I still like the people who claim that something is steering the comet.
They make me laugh.
Or the people who look at the picture of V838 Monocerotis and claim that it is ‘Nibiru’.
To believe what they do, they have to believe that thousands of amateur astronomers are silenced, bought, or in on the conspiracy.
They also have to believe that every government worldwide is in on it.
Yes Blue, look it up, Elenin failed to disrupt the orbit of an asteroid...
By the way Blue, the asteroid that Elenin failed to disturb was 74732 (1999 RQ176) from a distance of .002 AU, alot closer in distance than it will get to us.
IF the comet could disrupt stuff as you are claiming, the asteroid would have been detectably disrupted.
