"The mass is in the realms of what was expected," says European Space Agency (Esa) project scientist Matt Taylor.
If you could put the object in an ocean, it would float.
At this stage, it simply constrains what we believe it is made from

ok then....glad that has been cleared up
“It’s remarkable that electric and magnetic fields within just a few meters (yards) of the lunar surface can cause the turbulence we see thousands of kilometers away,” says Poppe. Other moons and asteroids in the solar system should have this turbulent layer over their day sides as well, according to the team.
“Discovering more about this layer will enhance our understanding of the Moon and potentially other bodies because it allows information about conditions very near the surface to propagate to great distances, so a spacecraft will gain the ability to virtually explore close to these objects when it’s actually far away,” said Halekas.

not really at this stage...any chance you could elaborate a bit

I'm not fully conversant with the whole EU thing, however, I note a sense of triumph in your OP, I could be wrong.
Personally I'd say it's somewhat naive to rule out any possibility of an EU theory based on one fairly small observation.
The generation of electrical energy can and does occur in some strange places indeed.

Seems to me main stream science is just getting it's head around the concept.

I don't think I'm quite 100% clear on the angle of your op?
The Rosetta comet still needs much more testing before being able to confirm or deny anything. On a slightly off-topic nature, you will need a mighty big puddle to see if it floats, look how massive this thing is. This image really put Rosetta's scale in my mind that was vastly bigger than my minds eye had seen.
It's gargantuan!
Edit. Oh.. EU, those electric universe people.... Mum tells me to say nothing about them, so I'll be grabbing my popcorn instead

You really should be clearer in your op. EU to a lot of people means European Union, with the confusion even more compounded when its an ESA project.
As a sidenote, its amazing that we can send probes on a 10 year chases through space to catch a comet

The standard model is not definitive. And never has been. Gravity, just sayin.
I would refer you to the link in my previous post. As far as I can see, any suggestion that a refined EU theory not having the capacity to sit within a standard model is nothing short of un-scientific.

Perhaps somewhat ironically, the unrelated thread started just before this one was by a user named ElectricUniverse, just noticed that, thought I'd share... synchronicity and all..

EU proponents would have us believe that Rosetta is a big hunk of rock, just like an asteroid, no different.

The mass for this comet is EXACTLY as standard model would predict, and not at all what EU model predicts.
