"Dirty Snowball" or "Electric Comet"?-Free Thinkers Needed! UPDATED-BRAINSTORMERS WORK HERE! | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 8925069 United States 11/21/2013 03:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the above video, it speaks about the "dirty snowball" theory in science. I am trying to distinguish between this theory, and a theory some have on an "electric" comet. This video is very informative about this subject. I would appreciate anyone's viewpoint on these two theories. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23465810 Canada 11/21/2013 04:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dirty snowball ofc. OK...so this means it will break up this week as it nears the sun, right? Comets are notoriously unpredictable, and anything can happen. Well, maybe not anything, but they can certainly be surprising. Some possibilities include: The comet could fizzle. Comets are made of ices and dust, and the relative proportions of each material, as well as the structure of the nucleus, determine its activity levels. Currently, these details on Comet ISON are unknown, which throws a small wrench into our prediction machines. We won't really know if this comet is going to be a firecracker or a dud until it happens. |

OK...so our problem is, if I understand this correctly, we simply do not have enough facts yet to know what lies beyond the dirty snowball theory...concerning Ison? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4035331 United States 11/21/2013 04:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Comets are primarily an electro magnetic phenom involving plasma from the sun and electrical discharges. Yes there is some ice and melting, but this is a grossly over simplified explanation. I ask u this krysyal; what does it look like to you? Auroras? Lightning? Plasma? Surely it does and that will lead u in the right direction. They emit ions, have tails millions of miles long, are immersed in a sea of highly charged particles and energies from the sun and this can only really be explained by electro magnetic interactions. That's what keeps the tail intact of millions of miles, current(plasma) flowing through it, generating strong magnetic fields.. Also they emit xrays, which only happen under stupendous energy exchanges. Filaments, arcs, ion tails all point to one thing ELECTRICITY(and the mag fields that always accompany such) My latest analogy is a light bulb. The light u see comes from the bulb, yes. However the energy for it is generated for away. This is what comets are doing basically and the sun is the primary source for the comets display. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23465810 Canada 11/21/2013 05:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | FACT! " At 5:52 UTC on July 4, 2005, the impactor successfully collided with the comet's nucleus. The impact excavated debris from the interior of the nucleus, allowing photographs of the impact crater. The photographs showed the comet to be more dusty and less icy than had been expected. The impact generated a large and bright dust cloud, which unexpectedly obscured the view of the impact crater." [link to en.wikipedia.org] NOT A FACT! "I think comets are electric plasma balls...blablablabla..." Simple no? |

@ sky User ID: 4035331 United States 11/21/2013 05:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually Iwould like to once again thank the strange folks who insist on promoting deeply flawed world views. Nothing new under the sun!!! Did a quick search of new discoveries and had my mind blown! So many new species discovered recently(and they are often particularly amazing looking for some reason) Check out asu's IISE and animalworlds.com for animals specifically And sciencedaily.com for some of everything. Thanks again wierdos! |
