Probed ingest of: THE WEIGH-IN: We Published The Verdict on Tuesday. A Paper From the Day Before Had Already Killed the Comet Model.

The Sentinel says the Thoss, Loeb, and Burkert paper undermines a high-water surface model for 3I/ATLAS because the required active area would exceed the object’s inferred size.

  • InterpretationAsserted

    The Sentinel states that the surface of 3I/ATLAS is not producing the water.interpretation

    The surface is not producing the water.

  • InterpretationAsserted

    The Sentinel claims that the ghost coma is the operating system of 3I/ATLAS.

    The ghost coma is the operating system.

  • InterpretationAsserted

    The Sentinel asserts that 3I/ATLAS is a machine.

    We said this is a machine.

  • Source reportedAsserted

    Thoss, Loeb, and Burkert claim that the mass of 3I/ATLAS is roughly a billion metric tons.

    The answer is roughly a billion metric tons.

  • Source reportedAsserted

    The paper by Thoss, Loeb, and Burkert states that the high water model for 3I/ATLAS is dead because it requires a surface bigger than the object itself.

    The high water model is dead. It needs a surface bigger than 3 km across just to produce the gas.

  • InterpretationAsserted

    The Sentinel claims that the CO2-only model for 3I/ATLAS works clean with no tension.

    The CO2-only model works clean. No tension.

  • Source reportedAsserted

    The Sentinel reports that multiple major observatories detected water-related activity associated with 3I/ATLAS. 

    Water is pouring off this object. Every major telescope has confirmed it.

  • Source reportedAsserted

    The Sentinel claims that the object 3I/ATLAS is 0.84 km across if CO2 alone drives the thrust.

    If CO2 alone drives the thrust, the object is 0.84 km across.

  • Source reportedAsserted

    The Sentinel states that the sideways push on 3I/ATLAS is as strong as the forward push and flipped direction when the object swung around the Sun.

    The sideways push on 3I is as strong as the forward push. And the sideways push flipped direction when the object swung around the Sun.

  • InterpretationAsserted

    The Sentinel claims that the interstellar object population does not look like natural debris.

    The interstellar object population does not look like natural debris.
