The Electric Comet Theory /SAFIRE Part V

[Reality Check]

Sol88 lies about Plasma characterization at comet 67P between 2 and 4 AU from the Sun with the RPC-MIP instrument yet again when the paper has no double layers.

Take this lie, for instance;

That is Michael Mozina who was banned from here some years ago rather than the chief idiot and liar of Thunderbolts, Wal Thornhill. Still a litany of lies from a cult follower though.

• Birkeland did not have a model of the Sun. Birkeland had an invalid belief in a book and 1 newspaper report of a lecture that the Sun had a negative charge based what he imagined about his terrella ("little Earth"!) experiments.
• There is no evidence of Hannes Alfvén publishing a "homopolar generator" model of the Sun.
  If it did exist it would be a mainstream scientific model from a knowledgeable scientist.
• A lie that the mainstream is not "all good" on neutrinos. Everyone knows that the neutrino flux from solar fusion has been measured and even neutrinos from the specific fusion reactions.
• A lie that Dave cited a low resolution solar image of neutrinos to support the observed neutrino flux.
  "We can even image the sun based on neutrinos." and that image.
• A delusion that this low-res image shows surface and atmospheric fusion. What it suggests is the inverse square law of a central source!
• A lie about his dogma which demands that all or most (not "some") neutrinos come from the surface or atmosphere.
• A delusion of gamma radiation magically being absorbed by the chromosphere, etc.
• A deluded lie that heliosiesmology data and solar images show a surface 4800 km below the photosphere.
• A lie about Dave's comments about Childs abysmal ignorance that fusion emits gamma radiation and the fusion needed to power the Sun happening on the surface or above would cook us.
• The above lie.
• A "heat signature" of currents in the corona lie.
• A bit of utter stupidity - he believes in the crackpot electric sun but debunks it with evidence for the alleged Alfvén homopolar generator model !
• A delusion that it is average temperature alone that determines the spectral lines emitted in the solar atmosphere.
• Lies about the EU currents into galaxies being found
  EU predicts "about 10^18 amps of current flowing into a every galaxy". Universe's highest electric current found is the highest current so far in a jet becoming out of a galaxy. The paper explicitly states they measured its direction as away from the AGN !
• Lies about EU dogma about black holes.
  EU denies the existence of mainstream black holes. Thunderbolts has the delusion that black holes are plasmoids. There is only 1 mainstream definition of a black hole. Einstein never rejected the mainstream model of a black hole.
• A lie that the Big Bang is not supported by an enormous amount of evidence.
• A delusion that Dave had to give every detail of that evidence, including the Hubble constant tension and galaxy formation. The fact is that we have measured the expansion of the universe. The issue is the Hubble constant value differs from different methods.\
• A lie that "massive and mature galaxies and quasars" in the early universe invalidate the big bang model.
• A delusion that "first generation (no metal) stars" can be detected in the early universe.
  Hubble cannot resolve to high enough z to detect them. That is part of the James Webb Space Telescope mission. What we do observe is that the older stars are, the less metals they have in them.
• A lie that we do not know how stars work followed by stupidity of demanding a "full sphere solar corona in a lab". A "full" millions of cubic kilometers of the corona in a lab ? Plasma experiments will include inculd ethe solar in the lab. Even the idiotic SAFIRE experiment claimed that and it was simplistic.
• Shows his deep ignorance of Juergens' original "electric sun" model which had no fusion in it. It was just electric discharges currents doing whatever Juergens imagined.
  His electric sun "papers" in Velikovsky's newsletter only has mainstream fusion in the 1979 "Stellar Thermonuclear Energy: A False Trail" article. Juergens was at least ignorant with "The null result of the solar-neutrino experiments, which still go on, has been a fact of astrophysical life for more than a decade.". He cited the Homestake experiment which reported detected neutrinos in a September 22, 1976 conference and the solar neutrino problem in a April 28, 1978 conference.
• Mozina lies about basic nuclear physics, the Sun and Dave's plasma in the solar atmosphere is not hot enough or dense enough statement.
  For fusion to happen, temperature has to be high enough so that nuclei collide and density has to be high enough for lots of these impacts. The combination makes the probability of fusion high enough to have a measurable rate. Dave noted this well known physics ("it is neither hot enough nor dense enough"). The corona is not ~15 million K. The corona is not about 10 times the density of gold!
  It is a delusion that coronal loops are Birkeland currents. It is a lie that coronal loops get to *tens of millions* of degrees Kelvin. Corina loops get to a few million degrees Kelvin.

Anyways, let's keep this on the current page for a while

Quote:

....the EU concept is fraudulent ******** being promoted by several people as real science to the general public.

Quote:

And the absolute killers;

Quote:

they were headed in a direction involving cold fusion, transmutation of elements, and net energy generation that are just crackpot. all because they are pretty ignorant of physics.

Pretty damning, eh? Anybody want to argue that SAFIRE isn't a scam?

The 1,650-foot-wide (500 meters) space rock ejected particles of dust and gravel into space multiple times over the past few months, newly announced observations from NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft reveal. So, Bennu is one of just a dozen or so known "active asteroids" — and the only one to be observed up close.

Which other active asteroids have we visited as a ratio of non active asteroids visited?

Sorry? Have a look through a telescope. How many asteroids, even those on cometary orbits, are turning into comets?
And all this is moot, as your woo is scientifically impossible, and has already been debunked.

[jonesdave116]

So, back to the idiot on the dunderdolts forum:

Quote:

Apparently Dave used some single sentence snipet from a 2016 video that he evidently linked to in an effort to support his commentary about gamma rays, while simply ignoring the part of the video where Monty explains that SAFIRE measured the temperature of the plasma above the anode to be much hotter than the surface of the anode, just like we see in the solar atmosphere.

So, totally ignores the fact that Childs is utterly clueless, and then reports on supposed observations from this clown, of which Dr. Morgan said;

Quote:

Monty and the others were making fraudulent statements about their measurements & observations

Lol.

Followed by more idiocy;

Quote:

Jonesdave is still clueless about current carrying plasma filaments. They absolutely are hot enough and dense enough in the solar atmosphere since they reach tens of millions of degrees, they *do* emit gamma rays sometimes

Yes, sometimes. Nowhere near enough to account for the amount of fusion needed to explain the neutrino detections. And not with the energy expected from fusion. I refer the interested reader to a reply by Tim Thompson to another EUtard;

http://www.internationalskeptics.com...postcount=2824

And yet more idiocy;

Quote:

those loops are located well *underneath* the surface of the photosphere, the photosphere would simply absorb them just like it does so in the standard solar model

Nope. What is the mean free path of a gamma at the density at this unknown distance 'below the photosphere'? What is the temperature at that depth? To produce the neutrino energy spectra we see, it needs to be permanently > ~ 10 million K. Not happening. And it HAS to be p-p fusion. As observed. And the idiot Scott puts the fusion in the chromosphere. Or on the surface. Depends which piece of fiction you are reading. The other idiot, Thornhill, has it on the surface. And has it producing 'heavy' elements. Again, not hot enough, not dense enough, and the neutrinos tell us that the fusion is NOT from heavy element fusion.

The whole of the electric idiot crowd should stick to their day jobs. They really are not very good at science. Obviously.

[jonesdave116]

BTW, given that Dr. Morgan's comments were removed by the dunderdolts Stasi, we should thank Michael for providing the links on there to Dave's videos, where the rest of the retards can now see those comments! Nice one, Mikey! Knew he'd bite!

[Reality Check]

A lying "Are you saying it doesn’t, jonesdave116?" question when he knows that active comets exist and debunk his debunked and dead dogma.

There are millions of cataloged asteroids with a there are a few tens that are active. None of them have evidence of Sol88's cult delusion of electric discharges.
Sol88 and his cult demand that all or over 600,000 asteroids be actual comets. Every time Sol88 mentions active asteroids he debunks his own dogma !

Composition[edit]
Some active asteroids show signs that they are icy in composition like a traditional comet, while others are known to be rocky like an asteroid.

Are asteroids rocky like, jonesdave116?

Or are asteroids icy, like comets?

Seems like you are confused.

As you would be, if comets are mostly ice and dust, melting in the sun...

[Reality Check]

A lying "Which other active asteroids have we visited..." question.

A lie that we have to visit asteroids to see if they are active. A lie that this question is irrelevant to his debunked and dead dogma other than being part of years of Sol88 emphasizing that his dogma is debunked and dead by Sol88 not producing any physical evidence to support it and just spewing out lies about mainstream comets.

[Reality Check]

The thousands of lies, delusions, insults, etc. since 6 July 2009 from Sol88 about his cult's electric comet and electric Sun dogma.
The abysmal insults of the deceased Michael Francis A'Hearn and all astronomers by Sol88 linking them with Sol88's dogma, etc. (no astronomer believes comets are actual rock)
349 items of lies, insults, etc. from Sol88 since ~10 March 2020
P.S.
The other very debunked cult dogma of an electric sun (SAFIRE) has not been mentioned in a while (CNO fusion neutrinos detected from the real Sun).

Sol88's cult ignores that their ignorant fantasies cause hundreds of mass extinction events on Earth !
Will Thunderbolts also have the delusion that Mercury is a comet just because it has a sodium ion tail?
Sol88 continues to emphasize his cult's delusion of claiming that active asteroids are comets that turns >600,000 catalogued asteroids into comets !

1. Years of lying about posts, posters and science continues ("A discharge even").
2. Years of lying about his cult's debunked and dead dogma continues ("a wee bit of dust...")
3. Years of lying about posts, posters and science continues ("It would form a sheath")
4. Years of lying about posts, posters and science continues ("Interesting paper rd, cheers ...").
5. Years of lying questions continues with "How far does the Solar corona extend again?"
6. Years of lying about posts, posters and science continues with a "thank you" for tusenfem's posts pointing out that his cult's ignorant fantasy of massive cometary electric discharges is ignorant and a fantasy.
7. Years of lying about posts, posters and science continues with "Seems you’ve been outscienz’d. ..." lies.
8. "our rocky like comets having its dust removed from a consolidated surface electrically" lies when that is his irrelevant obsession and lies.
9. Sol88 lies about On the global electrostatic charge of stars L. Neslusan.
10. Sol88 lies about Plasma characterization at comet 67P between 2 and 4 AU from the Sun with the RPC-MIP instrument yet again when the paper has no double layers.
11. A lying "Are you saying it doesn’t, jonesdave116?" question when he knows that active comets exist and debunk his debunked and dead dogma.
12. A lying "Which other active asteroids have we visited..." question.

[Reality Check]

A post of lies starting with "Are asteroids rocky like, jonesdave116?".

Sol88 lies with an uncited quote that answers the question with mainstream asteroid science. All asteroids are actual rock because they are piles of rock! Some active asteroids have evidence of ice sublimating and so "are icy in composition like a traditional comet. IOW they have ice because we detect ice sublimating! Some active asteroids are "rock like" because they eject dust from impacts or spin up or maybe ice sublimating.

A "Seems like you are confused" when he quotes nothing from jonesdave116 about the composition of active asteroids. jonesdave116 is stating that Sol88 and his cult has a deluded claim because the cult makes all asteroids into comets. I have this as a slightly less deluded cult claim.
Sol88 continues to emphasize his cult's delusion of claiming that active asteroids are comets that turns >600,000 catalogued asteroids into comets !

"As you would be, if comets are mostly ice and dust, melting in the sun... " lies. There is no confusion - first lie. Comets are ice and dust with that ice sublimating (not melting! - 2nd lie) in the Sun as it must according to the laws of physics and does according to physical evidence.

[Reality Check]

A "Funny, every comet looks like an asteroid..." lie even with a

This is his cult's decades old and continuing delusion that they can tell what is in astronomical images by imagining what they see. This is "I see bunnies in the clouds" logic. Their crackpot web site has the delusion that they see Birkeland currents in images when the Birkeland currents we have detected are around Earth and detected by putting a spacecraft in them. Their crackpot web site has the delusion that they see a plasma pinch forming a new star in the Butterfly Nebula when there is no plasma flowing thru the nebula and there is no young star (there is plasma flowing away from the central red giant at the end of its life).

If people are interested in more of the cult's fantasies and lies look up "Predictions for Comet Science After Rosetta By Stuart Talbott and Dave Talbott".
They lie by leaving their August 2015 no observable water ice on the surface claim on the page when 5 months later a paper finding water ice on the surface was published. They lie that there is no "observation-based glimpses" of subsurface water ice (a hint of a delusion of imaging below the surface!). The water detected in comet coma is solid observation-based evidence of subsurface water ice. They write a "one collision would be a remarkable coincidence" fantasy about the number of craters on 67P. Astronomers have no issue with the number of craters on 67P.
Then they give good examples of the the cult's "I see bunnies in the clouds" delusion.

• They compare the rough, cratered ice and dust surface of 67P with the smooth, pitted surface of EDM machined metal !
  The idiots cannot even see that the images are different. EDM makes pits that touch each other on the metal surface. 67P has craters separated by smooth patches and overlapping patches.
• They compare the shape of 67P to images of blobs from electrical discharge to a sample of hematite.
  They may as well compare 6P to an actual rubber duck!

[Reality Check]

In May 2020, jonesdave116 found that Lowell Morgan who was the only actual physicist in the project, was "laying into the EUists on Quora for being the unscientific clowns that they are"

Electric sun further debunked by detection of CNO neutrino (the neutrino detections already make it a deluded idea) from me.

jonesdave116 cited The SAFIRE Project Is Not Real Science (Electric Sun Model Debunked)

Ralph E. Juergens and the origins of the electric sun woo from me. Abysmal ignorance and/or lies from Juergens published in a crank newsletter.

jonesdave116 wrote An abridged email I had from Dr. Lowell Morgan ("EU concept is fraudulent ********", "they don't really know any physics or mathematics to speak of", "Monty and the others were making fraudulent statements"

Michael Mozina goes off the deep end about that video in the Thunderbolts forum.
jonesdave116 wrote And the idiot-in-chief of the dunderdolts forum is at it again (Mozina seems to have taken over the forum as his personal ranting space). I wrote Michael Mozina's spate of lies in the Thunderbolts forum

Sol88 completely ignores that a real scientist says his heroes are making fraudulent claims and that a fantasy that was already deluded* is becoming even more deluded as we learn more about the Sun.
* We have detected the neutrino flux from the fusion at the core needed to power the Sun. We have detected neutrino from the predicted by nuclear physics fusion reactions at the core.
They turn the Sun into a white dwarf. Some EU idiots claim no fusion at all. Other EU idiots fry us with gamma rays from photosphere or atmosphere fusion. An experiment that [b]at best[/B ]models the plasma of the solar atmosphere magically is a solar model. That experiment has been abandoned (even by its financial backers)and is now an cold fusion scam looking for money.

Asteroid or comet?

[Sol88]

Oh, dang.... every asteroid looks like a comet!

[Reality Check]

Sol88 emphasizes his cult's delusions yet again with a link to a Wikipedia asteroid image captioned as an asteroid !

One of the many delusions of the Thunderbolts cult is that they can see their delusion of comets being rock by looking at images. Sol88 links to one of many contact binary asteroids, IOW "I see bunnies inn the clouds" stupidity.

[Reality Check]

A "every asteroid looks like a comet!" lie when he knows that asteroid 101955 Bennu does not loo like a comet.

Sol88 has been obsessing and lying about 101955 Bennu (if it is a comet then >600,000 other catalogued asteroids have to be comets too and they are not) for some time. Bennu has a "roughly spheroidal shape, resembling a spinning top" with fields of boulders covering its surface, a few craters, no cliffs, etc. No comet looks like it.

[Reality Check]

A post of lies starting with "Electric Fields acting suspiciously..." from Sol88.

Those imaginary Electric Fields" were Sol88 stupidly citing measurements of electric fields that cannot be double layers at comets. The stupidity remains that variations in electric fields measured over hundreds (as I recall) of kilometers cannot be DLs in plasma with a Debye length of meters. Sol88 persists with his cult's delusion of DLs at comets after a plasma physicist (tusenfem) says they are physically impossible due to turbulence.

A lie that dust is the majority of mass lost by comets.
Continues with his comets are "rocky like " lie when it is rocky like behavior of landslides on 67P.
Continues with lying about his cult's dogma that demands that comets be as dense as asteroids not the ~5 times less dense that is measured.
A "Extensive electric currents (curcuits)" lie when that is mainstream ice and dust comet science that plasma has currents in it.
Continues with lying about his cult's dogma that demands electric discharges (not currents) at comets which have never been detected and are physically impossible (no dielectric medium to break down for their delusion of thunderbolts).

Solar Orbiter gives scientists unprecedented look at Sun

Quote:

In particular, the team observed dozens of miniature solar flares, known as "campfires", which until now had never been captured on film.

Quote:

The Solar Orbiter project is designed to help scientists better understand the Sun’s atmospheric layers, as well as analyze the solar wind – a stream of charged particles released from the corona. It’s thought that this wind is what defines phenomena such as comets’ tails, and that it carries the Sun’s radiation. By monitoring the solar wind, scientists hope we can better prepare for space weather events that could damage our electronic infrastructure here on Earth as they interact with our planet’s magnetosphere.

Campfires, jonesdave116? Living in the bush I know a thing or two about campfires...

You really have evolved since the Sun was thought of as a great campfire in the sky....

New Insights on Comet Tails Are Blowing in the Solar Wind

Quote:

Scientists have long known the solar wind affects charged dust; missions like Galileo, Cassini and Ulysses watched it move electrically charged dust through the space near Jupiter and Saturn. But it was a surprise for them to see the solar wind affect larger dust grains like those in McNaught’s tail — about 100 times bigger than the dust seen ejected from around Jupiter and Saturn — because they’re that much heavier for the solar wind to push around.

Therefore, comets and KBOs may have less water than CI-chondrites, as predicted by models of comet formation by the gravitational collapse of cm-sized pebbles driven by streaming instabilities in the protoplanetary disc.

The water in CI-chondrites minerals may be greater than the ice on comets and KBOs. This is as predicted by mainstream ice and dust cometary science.
