Incorrect usage of "meteorite"

[edit]

A meteorite is debris on earth's surface of extra-terrestrial origin like a piece of chondrite you might see in a museum, not something in space. <Dwarf planet sized space objects are (if smaller) meteoroids or (if bigger) asteroids, and even "meteoroid" is questionable because it would have to create a meteor if it entered earth's atmosphere to be called that and it's unclear that antimatter would behave in such a way (let alone that no meteoroid-sized piece antimatter would enter earth's atmosphere ever). An "antimatter meteorite" is physically impossible, and in its current state this article is factually incorrect. 96.33.173.35 (talk) 22:16, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected the usage of "meteorite" into "meteoroid" to the best of my ability. I did a little research on meteoroids and asteroids and decided that the term meteoroid seemed to suite this article's contents better. Feel free to fix any mistakes or change the language to something better. 96.33.173.35 (talk) 22:57, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ken Bullough stuff - is it any good or is it fringe science?

[edit]

The article mentions some results by one Ken Bullough. Though the material is mentioned as originating from a scientific journal, it seems to contradict a lot of what is otherwise said. Are his results scientifically sound? If not, please mark as such or remove. -- 92.226.26.144 (talk) 21:14, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Professor Papaelias has written this article himself (as you may be able to tell from the constant citation of his work). The wildly contradicting mention of Ken Bullough's results (?) is even more puzzling since he seems to have died in 1994 (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1995QJRAS..36..453H), while the article states he returned to the 1953 data and published his results 42 years later. In Papaelias' own site he refers to a number of articles on the subject, but has links to none (https://sites.google.com/site/philippapaelias/antimattermeteors). In any case, this is a badly written article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ammon Vampy-Ra (talkcontribs) 17:42, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

There has been obvious COI editing by an account who also appears to be editing using IP addresses here and at Star of Bethlehem. Dougweller (talk) 16:07, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
