There are many other visual observations and data records that contradict standard comet theory and which<br />

seem to support the logic and experimental results behind the alternative electric theory. Why in 1991 was comet<br />

Halley seen to ‘expel’ a cloud <strong>of</strong> glowing dust from its 15 kilometre nucleus, where this cloud then grew rapidly<br />

to be 300,000 kilometres in diameter, even though Halley was 14 times the distance from the Sun than the Earth<br />

is [6-47a] [6-47b] . What level <strong>of</strong> heat from the Sun could have been present to affect so significantly a piece <strong>of</strong> ice at<br />

that far distance? In this case, and as previously with comet Holmes, the explanation is electrical. The double<br />

layer surrounding the comet’s negatively charged nucleus simply interacted with a significant concentration <strong>of</strong><br />

positively charged plasma in the heliosphere (produced by a CME from the Sun perhaps) at that location.<br />

Observations also indicate that some comets seem not to be very solid or that they are bodies with very little<br />

mass. Astro-scientists have taken this apparent lightness (fluffiness, as they call it) as evidence that comets are<br />

indeed snowball-like or that they may be internally ‘honeycombed’ in some way by empty tunnels and voids.<br />

Bear in mind that these athletically creative views are <strong>of</strong>fered confidently despite the great amounts <strong>of</strong> evidence<br />

that contradict the standard model for comets. One wonders how this can be, especially where we have close-up<br />

images <strong>of</strong> comet nuclei showing rugged, rocky, cratered, gouged and pitted surfaces that bear no resemblance<br />

to ice in any <strong>of</strong> its forms in any way whatsoever. The apparent ‘lightness’ being detected can be accounted for<br />

if we are willing to accept that gravity itself is fundamentally electrical and just another aspect <strong>of</strong> the EM force.<br />

Quite a leap, I know, but there are good reasons to accept this as true.<br />

The main piece <strong>of</strong> evidence here is that the weight (mass) <strong>of</strong> a negatively charged body located within the<br />

positively charged environment <strong>of</strong> space, would in the view <strong>of</strong> some really clever people, measure differently<br />

depending on the amount <strong>of</strong> negative charge it takes on. In terms <strong>of</strong> comets in space, this means that the highly<br />

negatively charged nuclei <strong>of</strong> comets travelling within the highly positively charged environment around our Sun,<br />

where the electrical difference between them would be very significant, would appear to us as if their weight<br />

was akin to that <strong>of</strong> a lump <strong>of</strong> polystyrene foam! I personally find the thought <strong>of</strong> electrically modifiable gravity<br />

fascinating, and if true, it could provide a route to consider explanations for other puzzles in astro-science and<br />

from archaeology and geology that have traditionally had a relationship with gravity; significant puzzles that<br />

have been around for a very long time. I underline, however, that this is my own thinking wandering <strong>of</strong>f at a<br />

tangent [6-48a] .<br />

The craters and other sharply defined features that we see on the surfaces <strong>of</strong> comets can also be explained. Here<br />

once again we must keep in mind the scale <strong>of</strong> electric currents that are potentially available to flow between the<br />

plasma environment <strong>of</strong> space and the highly charged surfaces <strong>of</strong> comets. It may seem here tempting to imagine<br />

powerful Birkeland currents cutting into and lifting material away from comet surfaces, and this is fine to have<br />

as a mental image, for it is indeed what happens.<br />
