[meteorite-list] Meteoroid/Asteroid Electro-Magnetic Disruption and Charge Properties?

Thu Feb 28 08:13:49 EST 2013

In plasma situations where electrons and nuclei are freely moving about, the math supports a very, very tiny chance that nuclei will collide with enough energy to merge or break apart into other isotopes.  

Applying a rate of trillions of "possibilities" in a volume, over a period of time, the probability becomes realizable that somewhere, something happened.

There's a whole sub-culture of people who build "fuzors" in their garages for the novelty of saying "there's a chance something is fusing in that glowing cloud."
