The ThunderBolts started a series of reports on groundbreaking scientific data from the ESA Rosetta mission to Comet 67P.
In previous Space News', Dr. Franklin Anariba, a lecturer at Singapore University of Technology and Design, has presented a scientific argument for electrochemical processes on comets.
Dr. Anariba begins his analysis of recently published scientific papers, which provide perhaps the best direct evidence to date of the electrical nature of cometary activity.

Am surprised physicist James McCanney didn’t get a mention in the presentation, owing to the fact the has been teaching this theory for the last 10 years or more?
