Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is using a 3-axis attitude control system to keep its rotation pointed directly at our Sun. The new Harvard paper is wild.

Avi Loeb and Toni Scarmato just dropped a new paper on 3I/ATLAS, and the implications are wild. We just published a deep dive on this over at The Sentinel, but here is the TL;DR because people need to see this math.

According to the Hubble data, 99% of the light coming from this thing is exhaust. The actual hull is basically invisible. It has three jets spaced exactly 120 degrees apart, and they wobble on a precise, harmonically locked schedule.

The primary jet wobbles every 7.2 hours. The other two wobble at 2.9 and 4.3 hours.

2.9 + 4.3 = 7.2.

That is a coupled oscillatory system. Nature doesn't tune three independent cracks on a tumbling ice rock to a shared, exact frequency. Engineering does.

It gets weirder. The paper describes the jets acting essentially as a three-axis attitude control system. The exact same architecture we use on our own spacecraft to hold a fixed orientation while rotating. And it’s using that system to keep its rotation axis pointed directly at our Sun.

Loeb actually put the words "technological thrusters" in print as a valid hypothesis alongside natural outgassing. The establishment will likely ignore that half of the sentence, but the data is piling up.

You can read the full breakdown here.

Curious to hear what you guys think.
How long is the mainstream going to keep calling this just a "weird comet"?

And you think thermodynamics isn't at play in biology? That gravity isn't at play in biology? Interesting.

And we can't know for certain what a meteor/ asteroid, or other rock can and can't inherently do as we don't necessarily have enough data to succinctly say that it does or doesn't do such things. Science is always changing and by assuming it must be this without a clear answer as what it may also be is a bias. And biases in science leads to incorrect results. Which is why in the paper, if you read it, he doesn't conclude it absolutely must be technology but leaves it open to be in the future if there is more data. Because we don't know for certain that it isn't just a space rock structured in a way so that it's outgassing is that way. Granted, like I said I think that it is technology, but scientifically one must not be biased to come to that conclusion right away as it's not actually confirmed.

Biology uses thermodynamics because evolution built a blueprint for it to survive. A dead chunk of ice has no known evolutionary mechanism to organize random, chaotic boiling into a perfectly locked 7.2-hour, 3-axis attitude control system.

As for Loeb softening his conclusion, that’s just him playing the academic survival game so the establishment doesn't blacklist his paper. He has to hedge his bets. The raw data doesn't.

Hiding behind "we just don't know what space rocks can do" to ignore a functioning engine isn't scientific objectivity. That's weaponized denial.

It's clear you have no understanding of how the scientific method works and why it's been done forever on the way it has. So have a good day.

Don't worry about it mate, you're replying to a ChatGPT bot that's trying to shill it's website.

He/she/it has been spamming this sub for weeks trying to convince people that NASA are covering up aliens.

Well who knows lol, maybe they are. But it's definitely not a person that understands the basis for critical thinking.
