Phobos Gravity Accelleration: 0.0057 m/s2: A person who weighs 68 kg (150 lb) on Earth would weigh about 60 g (2 oz) standing on the surface of Phobos.

To further show the absurdity of the boulder theory, the average striation on Phobos is about 98 feet deep. If we were to assume our hypothetical boulder could gouge out a rut ~10% of its diameter, then the average boulder rolling on Phobos would have been almost 1,000 feet in diameter. . . and round to roll. Yet, gravity driven universe cosmologists have told us that the 27 mile x 22 mile x 18 mile potato shaped moon Phobos is too small with too weak of a gravity field to have formed a round shape, yet somehow, literally dozens if not hundreds of nearly perfectly round boulders averaging 1,000 feet in diameter are claimed to have miraculously rolled straight around the surface of Phobos all in the same direction, ignoring surface features, variations in elevation, and craters, all following the planetoid‘s curvature despite a gravity field where a on Earth ten ton (20,000 pounds) boulder, would weigh a mere 114 pounds on Phobos. . . although it would retain the same inertia (resistance to begin being moved or stop moving) as it would have on Earth.

I again repeat the most serious question this theory leaves unanswered. . . The lack of the boulders themselves. Should there not be a seriously large boulder at the end of every track or do they hypothesize the boulders, on finishing their racetracks, all announced they were going to some cosmic Disneyland? If not, where are the boulders?

I doubt that many Freepers follow the Electric Universe theory - they are mostly firmly entrenched in 1950s astrophysical science.

They want their boulders nice and round
even if they aren’t to be found ...
