Elenin has a very weak tail(made more of iron?)
Elenin has slowed down(solar wind?)/more accurate measurements were taken recently meaning it will pass even closer to earth

Latest science says it does appear to have broken up. Even its discoverer Leon Elenin has commented on its break up. Because the pieces are in the vacuum of space and the forces upon the comet are unchanged, they are not, essentially, changing direction, slowing down, speeding up or anything similar. The comet is just becoming softer and fuzzier as moves on its original orbital trajectory.
Not at all. Velocity = mass * acceleration... so less mass because is breaking up, then less velocity. Simple physics.

no one is talking about extinction
so tired of the bs threads that assume any talk about a comet or alignment means people will die
At its introduction in 1915, the general theory of relativity did not have a solid empirical foundation.
