Abstract
We present evidence to conclude that it is very probable that comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) will disintegrate before reaching perihelion. Fig. 1, Fig. 7 of this work are particularly revealing. The comet is following the path of disintegrating comets and not the path of normal Oort Cloud comets, suggesting that C/2012 S1 (ISON) is going to disintegrate. Note: the comet disintegrated on November 13th, according to this prediction while this paper was being refereed (CBET 3731).
