"Deep Impact" predictions
The Satellite Model for comets, a competitor of the Dirty Snowball
model and a corollary of the exploded planet hypothesis (EPH), makes a very specific prediction that the comet nucleus is a solid rocky asteroid. See http://metaresearch.org/solar%20syst...DeepImpact.asp for background and details. The Dirty Snowball model itself makes no specific prediction (although individual advocates are betting on various possible outcomes), but instead has an accommodation ready for whatever is found. In science, this is known as "shooting an arrow into a target, then painting a bull's eye around the arrow" [P. Lipton, Science 307:219 (2005)]. Within a few days, after the dust settles, we'll have important new data about the origin and nature of comets, and about which of the current models does the best job. -|Tom|- Tom Van Flandern - Washington, DC - see our web site on replacement astronomy research at http://metaresearch.org |

Solid rocky asteroids do not produce comae and tails, Van Flandern. That simple visual distinction between comets and asteroids has been around for decades. You are aware of the June 14 outburst, are you not? Rocky asteroids don't have those. The Dirty Snowball model itself makes no specific prediction (although individual advocates are betting on various possible outcomes), but instead has an accommodation ready for whatever is found. In science, this is known as "shooting an arrow into a target, then painting a bull's eye around the arrow" Sort of like the EPH predicting satellites of all sizes around Eros, finding none, and then painting the EPH around the boulders found on the surface. Ostensibly due to the unstable nature of some of the orbits around an oddly shaped body. Except that the odd shape had been known for decades, and the instability of some of the orbits almost as long. Did the EPH predict nothing in the stable orbits? Within a few days, after the dust settles, we'll have important new data about the origin and nature of comets, and about which of the current models does the best job. -|Tom|- Assuming the experiment succeeds. Consider the possibility that the autonavigation system is taken out by a large particle hit at too great a distance for a purely ballistic trajectory to guarantee an impact. |

I find the link (about Mars artificial structures)
facinating. http://www.metaresearch.org/solar%20...ssconf_nyc.asp Having been to Mars several times I can varify that many of the images that are detailed on that site are completely what are claimed. |

I'm delighted to see you were wrong here :-) There is nothing wrong about considering the possibility. The mission did so. |
