The Sum of all Fears : What if Elenin is Nibiru?

He is not the one that references a Black Carbon Star that came from another video - I personally took it to mean a Black Dwarf. That video just mentions a Dwarf Star but he says it must be one that is extremely cold.

Sorry, I must have gotten confused when you said this:

This guy says pretty much the same thing as I do - says Elenin is a "Black Star" which, to me, is either a Black Carbon Star or a Black Dwarf.

What's a "black carbon star"?

At sundown on the west coast Elenin is west of us - that is when the meteorite was spotted...

All i can say is...

If it was spotted at night, it was on the wrong side of Earth the be an emmissary from Elenin.

Kinda funny that they are using the Palestinian - Israeli thing as a smokescreen - and that on Rosh Hashannah - to justify going and hinding in a bunker, huh...

But, hey, Elenin is just a wimpy dusty ice ball...

Now you're getting it!

I don't know how I manage to get sucked into these Elenin threads. It's now the 15th. If the world is going to end at Elenin's hand on the 27th, that's only 12 days away. Shouldn't I be getting drunk, blowing off work, and going on a rampage or something right about now? I mean, what are they gonna do? give me life in prison?

I don't think it will be the end of the world. Maybe something might happen maybe not. To be prepared in case isn't so silly is it.

The fact that it has melted pretty much identifies that it is ice.

I often wonder about statements like this
how can ice melt in space?

as we understand space is a vacuum and heat is not transferred through a vacuum

when you are in a plane at 30,000 feet the air temperature is -1 c maximum on a hot sunny day
its colder than that on the top of mount everest in summer

the higher you go and the thinner the atmosphere the colder it gets

So then we experience heat because we have an atmosphere and radiation from the sun travels through the vaccum of space and accelerates molecules in the atmosphere - or perhaps it is an electrical force

regardless, without an atmosphere ice will not melt, so what causes a comet tail? Could it be some form of electrical interaction between the sun and the comet?

Water, at low temperatures, sublimates. It is a process that looks like boiling. At the top of mount Everest, water appears to boil at 69 degrees C.

As the pressure drops, the boiling point comes down.

What boiling point do you think water has in an absolute vacuum?

The equation you require is on WikiPedia:

Space!

Live with it!

That's what happens, and no amount of hiding your head in the sand and saying "NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA", over and over again, so you can't hear the truth, makes it any less real.

Do you think others have any belief in what you said?

We are all looking at you!

It is, after all, a public forum.

What do you think we are thinking about you?

That was sarcasm, homie - and apparently you sucked yourself in...

Series question ... I participated in the beginning of this thread, and i thought it complete rubbish (My Opinion).
How, pray tell, does junk like this get to be almost 500 posts long......... Bizarre.

I'm all for pushing the envelope but ......Jesus

Both calculations are easy to do for an astrophysicist, but ONLY if the exact angular sizes are available. Since we only have some crappy video frames to go by, the following mass calculation is only A ROUGH ESTIMATE!

Your entire estimate is based entirely on these "crappy images." In fact, your whole "gravitational microlensing" argument is based on them. The resolution of the STEREO camera is extremely low. The "size" of the object in the field of vision is a function of the brightness of the point sources on the CCD receptors; the brighter the object, the larger the number of pixels and, hence, the larger the image. There was no gravitational lensing effect. As Elenin passes near a background star or planet their brightnesses will be added together by the CCD to create a single "larger, brighter" image. Your calculation is not merely rough, it is spurious.
