text: Now that you have heard the tired old stuff out there, how about hearing what is going on.  If you will check out www.thunderbolts.info and do a bunch of reading you will begin to get a hint.  The real reason is that the solar ecliptic plane is electrically conductive and as charges travel on the surface of the plane, the whole solar system focuses inside the conductor.  As objects appear coming in from outside the solar system, any deviations are pushed towards the plane.  This is why comets flare up and such. Honestly it is a force 10 E39 times greater than gravity.  The whole system is run by the EM force and Gravity well it just doesn't enter into the equation.  \n\nThere is a whole lot out there that doesn't match up to the sad old worn out tale of the universe forming from a dust nebula. The first thing of this is that a nebula could never form a planet or a star as it lacks enough gravity.   It gets much worse than that.\n\nIf you check out www.4threvolt.com or www.nealadams.com you will learn some more fantastic things.  On Neal Adams site be sure to check out his science stuff.\n\nIn the words of the guy at the 4threvolt site.  If this is so, then "Everything we know is wrong."  Well it is just about that wrong in cosmology and I though you might like to know.  It is so far wrong that the IEEE kicked of a whole study effort on cosmology to deal with the discoveries that just don't get along with the tired old nebular theories.  The electrical universe has the data and the science.  The rest just talk a good line.  \n\nBesides: Gravity doesn't exist as a force.  It is a cross product of the EM field force.  In the words of "Doc" from the movie "Back to the Future" --- This sucker is electrical.  (The whole universe)   Some really great work is coming out of Brazil on this.
