Puzzling Electric Hurricanes

SpaceAdmiral writes "Hurricanes seldom have lightning because they primarily consist of horizontal winds (as opposed to vertical winds). However, three of the biggest storms of 2005 (Rita, Katrina, and Emily) had plenty of lightning and NASA has an interesting write-up about it." Bottom line is "we still have a lot to learn about hurricanes."

Re:Sadly untrue

I have nothing that would be contributory to his other statement.

For example, Big Bang cosmology dominates science and dictates a lot of our decisions one way or another, yet relies upon many unproven (in some cases disprovable, such as the matter of the highly redshifted quasar sitting between us and NGC 7319 in Stephan's Quintet [nasa.gov] [innermost of the pair at 3 o'clock]) assumptions.

If his evidence is true, and given the position and rules of relevance, it would seem to imply that the Big Bang is wrong.

I accept that the Big Bang may be right, or wrong, but I have no evidence to the matter, nor have I reviewed enough to determine if it is or not.

When I have discussions with people, I pick up a number of things as axiomatic to me just so that I can work from their frame of logic, and understand their position, or assert the problems of their position.

Here, I have nothing to say, other than, "you might be right."
