I want to applaud Neried for her excellent analysis of the EU papers. I have been trying for years to make sense out of EU claims; and the problem that I keep running into is that they keep insisting phenomenon are caused by gross charge differentials even though there are good collisional, thermal, gravitational or nuclear models for many of the phenomenon.

It was clear to me before the Deep Impact event, that EU threorists expected a massive discharge before the impact event, and within the resolution of the many cameras focusing upon the collionsion, the high energy event coinceded with the moment of impact, and not even a millisecond beforehand.

As far as what the Mainstream was expecting, A'Hearn stated in a lecture that one of the reasons that the 'copper washer' mission was approved, is that he walked into the funding board with five different predictions of what would happen; and he also said, none of the expectations agreed with the results; and certainly not the most straightforward interpretations of the EU predictions. (For what it is worth, neither did mine.)

That said, I am of the opinion that Tesla is right: If we completely understood the nature of matter and energy, all phenomenon are electromagnetic.
