The official BBM explanation of "comets" is that they are leftovers from the original ice and dust cloud that formed our solar system. The story goes on to say that the ices begin to sublimate, or melt, thereby forming the comet tail, when it gets within 1.5 to 2.0 AU from the Sun. These primarily deductive conclusions are based on selective observations of the periodic comet Halley which behaves in a manner consistent with a BBM "dirty snowball", up to a point; other comets such as Hale-Bopp, and SL-9, clearly do not.

The Plasma Universe Model of "comets", as detailed in Jim McCanney's Plasma Discharge Comet Model, considers these objects to be highly charged, growing, proto-celestial bodies, ie. future planets, moons, and asteroids. Once you apply a high potential capacitor model to "comet" all of the multitude of "unexplainable anomalies" for Hale-Bopp and SL-9 transform into simple, and easy to understand, natural mechanisms of our solar system and universe; no coded "explanations" needed.

The very first distinction to realize about the PDCM is that the flow of material at the comet is exactly 180 degrees opposite to the Dirty Snowball Model (DSM); that is, the PDCM predicts an inward and accumulating flow while the DSM says that the material flows outward, and diminishes the comet nucleus. While a definitive study still needs to be done, it was noted that a veritable zoo of old and newly reported molecular structures were reported to be "leaving" Hale-Bopp in thousands of tons per minute each, making a 5 billion year life for a "25 mile block of ice" highly unlikely.

The list of totally absurd BBM-DSM-AS-NT "explanations" of Hale-Bopp observations is endless. One hot off the press, dated January 30, 1998, involving the highly defined, or discrete, tail [18.0] above says, "as [being] due to the presence of large and old dust grains that were released by the nucleus at least 100 days before these observations, possibly much earlier." The story admits a 93 million mile distance for the tail portion that is in view. Now consider the probability of dust, unassisted by any other force except gravity, maintaining a highly discrete position, while being impacted over "100 days" by solar winds which vary from 300 to 700 km/sec, or 669,600 to 1,562,400 miles per hour.

There has been a spate of new and unexpected comets in recent years with Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL-9), Hale-Bopp, and Hyakutake standing out. Under the BBM "gravity-is- everything" view, these things just kind of happen to you over eons and eons of time. Under the PUM, however, other inticing possibilities arise. What if, for example, all of these wanting-to-grow-up-and-be-somebodies had connecting tendrils or circuits laced into the Sun's toroidal magneto- sphere, and what if the Sun started to charge up, in say 1960?

McCanney advises us to think about a comet as a "giant cosmic vacuum cleaner" just waiting for the opportunity to suck up more energy and matter. What if this new highly charged region of interstellar space we've entered rang the cosmic dinner bell for all parties? Ancient cold slumbers would be left behind, and old circuits would be renewed and energized.  STAY TUNED. MUCH MORE TO COME.
