Well I have written here before about what electric comet predicts and what has been found. You can read it all again here in the following three posts.

But briefly electric comet predicts that 67P will be a hot, dust free, ice free, dense rocky, electrically charged body. Whereas, so far ( and it is very early days ) we know it is:

Cold

Dusty

Outgassing water

With a colder neck region that looks very productive here

With a low density.

And if its anything like 21P, not electric.

I am surprised Whipple's model is such a good match to observations, considering he had so little to go on 75 years ago.

Why do you cling to your electric comet idea when it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Where is the dense rock ? Where is the electric charge ? Why is there dust ? Why is it so cold ? Why is it releasing water ? Where are the electric arcs ? Why hasn't Rosetta been destroyed by electric discharge ?

You see when you do science you accumulate knowledge that has been proved through empirical means. You drop ideas that have been disproved and so we move forward. Time to let go of electric comet.

I would be interested to hear what you think about electric comet choosing not to predict electricity.
