The World for People who Think
Science & Technology
The comet 67P has provided an avalanche of astonishing discoveries that may puzzle scientists for years to come. And one problem that will simply not go away is the seemingly impossible dunes, or dune-like ripples at the comet's neck. At its first observation, the feature drew virtual gasps of disbelief from scientists and science media. More recent, close-up images of the "impossible" dunes have only deepened the mystery. How does the electric universe explaining this baffling feature?
Comment: The only thing more astonishing is how desperately mainstream science clings to its original conceptions about comet composition, despite all the evidence coming in from Rosetta and other comet probes. What is behind their apparent refusal to give any credence to the Electric Universe theory, even though it provides simple, elegant explanations for cometary observations?

First thoughts
Not that I have actually thought too much and might easily be corrected. However I (like everybody else) am having difficulty with the idea of charge being built up on the surface of the asteroid or comet..there seems to be little difference, at least superficially. If this were to happen I would not expect the charge density to be higher in the neck region, rather lower. But we seem to be seeing most of the dust(?) leaving the neck region which seems to imply a higher charge density in that region. Mmnnn...could this region be drier, i.e. less ice (zero ice?) so the charges do not flow out to the wider surfaces away from the neck? i.e. it is a better insulated region. This is very odd to me. However one interesting possibility is as follows:
Assuming the motive force for the dust is electrostatic and we do have this odd charge build up in narrow regions then the very necking of the asteroid could have resulted from this process! Over eons of time the asteroid loses mass at the neck (or waist) giving us a positive feedback mechanism which would eventually lead to the asteroid dividing in two lumps heald together by weak gravity. If so then we might expect asteroids within a certain size range to exhibit a similar necking. The asteroid type would have to be that of a conglomerate. It would not work for monolithic. Two small and the lumps might be too big, two large and you are moving towards a dwarf planet which could not support a neck.

Once the theory that gravity is the main force in the universe is revealed for the farce that it is, then the entire world they have constructed for us will crumble. That science of this magnitude has been shrouded in secrecy for so long is simply beyond belief...but once that veil falls, IT IS OVER. *Everything* they have controlled will be questioned. There are many fronts that seem to be simmering, too. A wave of revelations is about to unravel.
Just sit back and wait for that first domino to fall...things are about to get INTERESTING
