A Beginner's View of Our Electric Universe - New

How is it that the small bodies of comets and asteroids often sport a great number of craters and other ‘impact
credited’ features on their surfaces? If their own gravity were to be offered in answer as the attracting force
then how in terms of a comet’s or asteroid’s negligible level of gravity could it attract significant sized pieces
of debris? No, this could never be. There is also the more popular idea of random collisions but even with this
the probability of it happening with any great frequency and with the required force to form often outrageously
large craters, is extremely unlikely, so this looks like it is not the answer either.
The cyclic passage of comets and asteroids through the solar system over great swathes of time will undoubtedly
on occasion have brought them into relatively close contact with substantially larger and much more powerfully
charged bodies, especially in the early days after comets and asteroids were produced as the debris of major
catastrophic events. Think back again to the electrical forces in play that were described as responsible for
breaking up comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 when its course took it a bit too close to Jupiter. The current density that
comet experienced from its environment will have increased in intensity as it neared Jupiter. The result being
a build-up of electrical stress between regions of isolated charge inside the comet and discharges taking place
between those regions like internal lightning bolts that would fracture to cause the break-up of the comet. So
with powerful electrical forces available to act on roaming bodies, we
have an alternative to impact theory, especially since the size of some
craters suggests that the struck body would have been smashed to pieces.
Consider this image of the crater ‘Stickney’ on Mars’ moon Phobos. One
can imagine that the impact power required to produce this would never
have allowed poor little Phobos to survive in one piece.

Here is a little more on the pointless attempt to use gravity to explain
these craters. Due to its observed behaviour as it orbits Mars, Phobos is
believed to be a very low density object, along the lines of imagining it
is made of polystyrene. The real explanation for this apparent low mass
was previously given in this chapter where a body’s charge level and
apparent mass were linked. For astro-scientists, however, this apparent
extreme lightness of Phobos has been used as a basis from which to explain how that body would be able to
absorb the force of an impact that would result in a crater the size of Stickney while the rest of Phobos stayed
together. This is a blatant example of a sequence of assumptions relying on one another; not a good basis on
which to pursue the truth of any matter! Phobos is instead a dense object held in place solely by Mars’ own
gravity. Stickney crater and the uncluttered area around it could only have resulted in the past from electrical
interaction with a larger body and a subsequent EDM process taking place on its surface.
