The Electrochemistry of Comets with Dr. Franklin Anariba | Space News

It is a great paradox in comet science: We are told that a comet nucleus is a ball of ice, or dirty snowball, or icy fluff ball that accreted billions of year ago in the solar system’s infancy. Comets are said to sublimate ices as they move toward the sun, and solar warming is responsible for much cometary activity. Yet this reasoning leaves unexplained countless puzzles in comet science. We ask the question, can the science of electrochemistry provide an answer to many comet mysteries?

I always load a nice bowl before one of these. Helps me through the math-y parts.


Don't judge me.

TB for the win again! Love this real science.

Excellent Presentation! I understood every word of it.

So how many people picked up on what was being laid down?
"Oil" can be Abiotic....

As T Kuhn and Karl Popper have observed :when a new paradigm emerges there will  strong resistance from the established  cosmologists. When all is   said and done experimental results are what counts. You can have a whole mountain of  theories -but that's all they are. Prove it experimental and subject it to refutation-that's the way to proceed. So it goes.

This totally makes sense... Unlike 'officially accepted" (quasi)knowledge.

are you hypothesizing that the proton discharge of the sun creates the feild of magnetism  "of" which  where the solar wind  manifest or is then observed or   measured? if so this would stat that the comets   orbit is linked to  from the electrons to the proton  discharch there for also being a, part of the measurement or observation of solar wind?

[zakmatew]

I read that they discovered deuterium on the comet. Can anyone confirm that?

[josephlindquist]

electrolysis of water on a much grander scale?

Nice, but did he just present himself with nothing more than - a person from New Zealand? lol
