Mainstream support for EU theory....

Thomas Zurbuchen, a study team member at the University of Michigan (U-M), likened Ulysses' pass through the comet tail to putting your hand in the waters of Lake Michigan and pulling out a fish. <p><hr /></p></p></blockquote><br /><br />I wonder if they've talked to Wal Thornhill recently? <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> It seems to me that this type of information certainly appears to support his electric comet theories, particularly that part about the solar wind picking up electrons from the comet. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> IMO EU theory is gaining support from a variety of sources, even mainstream resources. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and flying electric ions of all kinds. - Kristian Birkeland </div>
