Oh and YES a comet IS a fast moving asteroid. And when they come into contact wit objects that will slow them down, they once again become asteroids!
It would be nice to have some evidence that anything could do this.creating great amounts of static discharge, sonic booms, and displacing huge amounts of charged particles
Well, back in November a large asteroid passed between us and the moon. I must have missed all the destruction it caused...I would estimate an object at the speed of sound traveling halfway between The Earth and The Moon would probably need to be about one-eighth the size of our moon to cause major destruction. However, you must consider varying sizes, speeds, and make-ups to determine effects.
I'm not the one missing physics here.
OK I think this is time to stop. If all you have is guesswork then this thread is over. In your next post I want to see some support for your guesses or the thread is finished

http://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/...ce_faq.html#34 . Is that legit?
I object, your honor, badgering the witness. I have answered and proven my correctness with every post. I am not able to continuously be at the computer, as I do have quite a bit to do. So, I believe that I have given a very good arguement. Although I have a wealth of evidence more to share. I had hoped that I would spark the interest of a good investigative scientist.
I would prefer you leave this thread open for furure comments, if possible. But, I guess, if you still feel that way then the defense rests. I hope I have given enough to warrant an investigation, and I thank all of you for your insight and time.
Thanks again, Tony.
So far I don't see any evidence and I don't see you addressing the points raised by other posters.
I urge you to re-read the rules for posting to this forum and most importantly read the advice for ATM Posters linked at the bottom of this post.

You are technically correct.What is sound? It is a pressure wave. So long as you have some kind of gaseous medium, you will have the possibility of forming pressure waves in it by "shocking" it in some way. In space, the interplanetary medium is a very dilute gas at a density of about 10 atoms per cubic centimeter, and the speed of sound in this medium is about 300 kilometers per second.
What is the force exerted on the Earth of 10 atoms/cc moving at 300 km/sec; and yes, I expect a calculation.
Show how a comet has any effect on this. Show how this has anything to do with cosmic rays.
Show a mechanism by which this would cause an earthquake.
You all do realise that The Moon does pull on, not just the oceans, but the tectonic plates as well. This keeps them loose and moving and is the direct cause of earthquakes.
By the way, if your mechanism had some basis in reality, why doesn't the solar wind cause earthquakes? Why, when we have a large solar flare, and large numbers of charged particles are accelerated and strike the Earth, which does have a magnetic field, don't we get lots of earthquakes?
Article from about a year ago about the complete lack of correlation between the huge Japanese earthquake and the moon.
The Moon was at apogee on March 6, and will be at perigee on March 19. When the earthquake in Japan hit last night, the Moon was about 400,000 km (240,000 miles) away. So not only was it not at its closest point, it was actually farther away than it usually is on average.
So again, this earthquake in Japan had nothing to do with the Moon.
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you since the thread reopened. I still don't really see answers to my questions, and your answer raise more questions. Here are your new statements
I hypothesize that our Moon has collided with the planet on more than one occasion.Originally Posted by Kalopin
And your evidence for this?
#1. Your new comments have nothing to do with providing evidence that Near Earth Objects (NEO) disrupt weather patterns. Either provide the evidence or withdraw the assertion.Originally Posted by Kalopin
#2 Your new comments have nothing to do with providing any evidence that the correlations are nothing more than chance. Either provide the evidence or withdraw assertion. Note the requirement for evidence.Originally Posted by Kalopin
In addition, from post #19:
There were several questions about seeing the object that cause your alleged impact crater. Why are there no major accounts of this object, from places other than the accounts near where it landed? And object making that big of a crater would have been quite obvious before impacting.
#3 Note I asked for proof the lights had anything to do with earthquakes, other than your assertions. Since your comments don't provide such proof, do you have such proof?Originally Posted by Kalopin
That's an assertion. How do you know the view of topography, alleged meteorites, impactites (sp?), are from those lights and not from a different event? And, what evidence is there of encased body parts being tied to lights in the sky? And, how do those lights explain the January and Febuary 1812 events?Originally Posted by Kalopin
#4 Note I asked for proof the meteors had anything to do with earthquakes, other than your assertions. Since your comments don't provide such proof, do you have such proof?Originally Posted by Kalopin
Note, I said by proof the meteors had anything to do with earthquakes, other than by assertions. This is nothing but an assertion. And, how do those meteors explain the January and Febuary 1812 events?Originally Posted by Kalopin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_t...Earth-rotation .Go down to driving forces related to Earths rotation, no.1. I hope this clears that up.
The solar wind is charged particles of force with very little mass. believe me, if there was a strong enough coronal mass ejection, it would disrupt and cause catastrophe.
Perhaps it could. But we are not talking about them, we are talking about a little comet a very long way away.The solar wind is charged particles of force with very little mass. believe me, if there was a strong enough coronal mass ejection, it would disrupt and cause catastrophe.
Did you enlarge the photos and give a little study? This impact was directed straight towards Reelfoot Lake. Draw the line down to North Mississippi, and you will be over the impact crater.
But I am not claiming it was just a NEO, but that a large enough piece broke away and impacted Northern Mississippi to cause this earthquake. So totally different set of circumstances.
How do I know it happened. I have strong enough evidence or wouldn't claim it.
