At the forthcoming Thunderbolts EU2015 Conference: Paths of Discovery in Phoenix, AZ, Dr. Franklin Anariba will be a featured speaker. He is a specialist in electrochemistry and a lecturer at Singapore University of Technology and Design. Today, we asked Dr. Anariba to offer his analysis of the evidence for electrochemical processes on Comet 67P.
In late 2014, scientists studying data from Rosetta’s Ion and Electron Sensor made the completely unexpected discovery of electron densities and fluxes much too close to the comet nucleus. Scientists interpreting spectroscopic data suggest that these electrons play a role in breaking up water molecules and carbon dioxide supposedly spewing from the comet surface. However, this interpretation is an assumption based on the continued faith in the icy-comet theory. But is another interpretation possible?
