Comets were first described in 1950 by the American astronomer Fred Whipple as dirty snowballs melting in the radiated heat of the Sun. They have now been closely inspected by sensitive measuring equipment carried on space probes, and some being pointed at them from the ground. To those with open minds who remain receptive, the data returned tells us that comets are not the dirty snowballs that astro-science would have us believe. And in terms of how many there are, despite the problem of coming up with a figure in the first place, an estimate of around 6 billion was originally statistically predicted. This number was found to be far too low when better data analysis was conducted and computer simulations were carried out, so it was raised to a figure of ~400 billion. Overall, this has turned out to be a big issue for cometary scientists, because there now seem to be far too many comets to suit the preferred story about their origin and the calculations used to come up with predictions about them. To address this and accommodate the larger figure, ideas were revised to claim that beyond those left over from our own solar system's formation, the Sun must have captured most of its comets from other stars billions of years ago when those stars came close to our solar system. This is quite a wild piece of speculation and it has no basis in anything whatsoever. However, being just another guess from their limited gravity toolbox, it highlights yet again that sticking plasters are quite happily applied by astro-science to patch up their theories. The sad thing is that it is mostly the public purse that funds the highly questionable work of mainstream astro-science and that currently at least, most of those involved enjoy well-paid jobs, rosy futures and the prospect of nice pensions. Digressing for a moment, there are a couple of things to underline. University students entering astro-science disciplines should not be faced with this type of attitude for it may influence the direction of their careers. A few may be tempted to go along, but I prefer to think that most others would take a more responsible and independent approach. It is also apparent that the public shows little interest in science in general, for many of us do not see much within it playing a significant role in our daily lives. However, reasons do exist for us to consider this attitude carefully and for us to think more about what is going on in science research; outcomes from which have already determined much of our own and our children's futures. If we were to take a moment to lift our heads out of the daily grind, we would be giving ourselves a chance to realise this is very important stuff and that we should be paying more attention to it. 41 | We are waiting for answers to these questions The two tails of a typical comet nearing the Sun © author
A directly associated issue is that comets are seen to come into the solar system from just about every direction in space. Because of this, astro-scientists now assume the existence of a ‘shell-like globe’ of lumps of ice that surrounds the whole solar system and that from within its population the origin of comets is likely very high. These assumptions have backfired somewhat and have generated further questions. The claims that comets are left over fragments from the formation of the solar system and that they can provide us with important clues about its origins have for some time been contradicted. This is because we are now told that comets could have been captured from other stars, a claim further added to by the statement that these comets now provide an opportunity for us to understand the likely composition of other stars. This makes me wonder how much wild speculation is being practiced and how much today's astro-science is being allowed to get away with. I hope you get a feeling for the easy willingness of astro-scientists to play with and alter their theories when unexpected new evidence and unwelcome problems come along. This is becoming a predictable model of behaviour today, especially among those who revel in the opportunity for personal exposure, either on TV or through other forms of media or through the books they write. This should, at the very least, make us wonder about the quality of information that has been supplied to us as ‘trustworthy and believable’. The Oort Cloud, Kuiper Belt and Asteroid Belt in relation to the Solar System © author Another claim of the standard comet model says that they are influenced to leave their stable orbits in the far away location of the 'Kuiper Belt' that is situated beyond the orbit of Neptune, or in the even further away Oort Cloud, by the gravitational influence of passing stars or through collisions with other companion bodies. However, some astute astronomers have observed that if this were true, then we should see many more comets in groups and not as the single visitors we do. To help picture here the unlikely nature of prediction versus actual observation, I will raise again the subject of scale, for it is important that we have an idea of the kind of distances and probabilities we are dealing with. I will give an easy to picture description regarding this model, one that was originally put together by astronomer Tom Van Flandern and which I saw quoted by Wallace Thornhill in one of his many excellent articles about comets, “Deep Impact 2” [3-3] on his website. 42 | We are waiting for answers to these questions
