just seems to me that if "they" KNEW something was incoming it wouldn't be "lets shut it down" it'd be "lets party like its 199 . . . oh wait . . ."
I'll bet not one person in 100,000 recognizes that reference. I have the first three books but after that the series got entirely too blatantly dominance-and-submission for my tastes.
Some folks need to do some very basic research on what a comet actually is. It's been repeated again and again in the thread that the comet nucleus is not "bigger than Jupiter," and speculations about the nucleus being that big are just wasted bandwidth on the Internet. The comet coma very probably has less particles per cubic mile of space than the dust on any random person's computer monitor screen.

A large green meteor streaked through the sky over Brunei Darussalam last Sunday, with many excited observers taking to social media to discuss the natural phenomenon.
The passing meteor was photographed at 7.27pm by Mohammad Nazhif bin Haji Abdul Khalid, who was taking pictures of the planet Venus in the clear sky at his home in Kampong Lambak.
He recalled, “At first, I thought that it was a fireworks display, but there were no exploding sounds.”
The photo of the event uploaded to his Instagram page caught the attention of the Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD), which has been receiving eyewitness accounts about a vivid ball of light on the evening of April 12.
The fireball was also spotted in other districts, starting at around 7pm.
Bon Wei Chin, 25, said, “I saw the meteor passing over Pekan Seria…It flew past a very bright star.”
Azimah Alipah was at the Penanjong Camp in the Tutong District when she witnessed it. “I saw a very bright shooting star for five seconds, heading towards the sea,” she described.
Mohd Yusbi Ayub bin Yusof also saw the meteor, “which passed overhead in the Jerudong Park area, at around the time for Isyak prayer.”
A meteor is a small piece of an astronomical body that burns up upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, creating a streak of light in the sky. A huge meteor can create a massive bright light.

Wow, what a lucky shot!
"I would hesitate to call any theory woo..." yep.
Look, please don't ask that question because I am afraid to find out.
