ULTIMA THULE – Probability of Gravitational (vs. Electromagnetic?) Formation

Authors: Raymond H Gallucci

. The shape and rotational speed of the “contact binary,” double-lobed, planetesimal Ultima Thule (renamed as 486958 Arrokoth) deep in the Kuiper Belt render a gravitational explanation for its formation, as espoused by mainstream astrophysics, while plausible, still unlikely. A probabilistic analysis of possible relative speeds between these objects prior to merger strongly suggests that gravitational forces would not have fused them together. Discussed is the Electric Universe Theory that electromagnetic forces, rather than gravitational ones, best explain Ultima Thule’s formation, with gravity only now possibly playing a role in maintaining its structure.
