No. Lol. No its not. 3I/ATLAS

 


Is 3I/ATLAS Made of Antimatter?

Avi Loeb Medium 8/23/25


"Buried in the barrage of hundreds of emails 

that I had received today, 

there was a very interesting question: 

“Is 3I/ATLAS made of antimatter?”


No. Lol. No its not.

If you wanna read the rest of it?

Thats why I give you the link.


There are a few things here 

that are worth repeating 

however:


"The detailed analysis of the Hubble Space Telescope image of the new interstellar object 3I/ATLAS 



(This one, still nothing from the JWST.)


(discussed here and here), implies a total column density of dust particles that is smaller than 10^{-4} grams per square centimeter. Irrespective of the size distribution of dust particles, this low column density implies that the dust responsible for the glow around 3I/ATLAS is not opaque 

(not able to be seen through; not transparent) 

to sunlight.


"Given this, most of the reflected sunlight must originate from the solid surface of the nucleus of 3I/ATLAS. Based on the brightness of the nucleus, its implied radius is about 10 kilometers 

(Means its 20 KM or 12.4274 wide

Since it is "about"?

Im gonna go its 12 miles :0)

"divided by the square root of the albedo (reflectance) in units of 5%. For the same reason, most of the reddening observed in the spectrum of 3I/ATLAS must originate from the surface of the nucleus."


"As argued in my first paper on 3I/ATLAS (accessible here), the reservoir of rocky materials in interstellar space can only supply a rare 10-kilometer rock every 10,000 years or longer.'


(It shouldnt be here.

Pretty simple.)


"Within our current technological and scientific state, it is an insurmountable challenge to produce antimatter in large enough quantities to fuel or construct a spacecraft."


(What?

Extraterrestrials couldn't have? 

Well why not?


Because they cant exit.

Duh.


Seriously,

couldn't believe he didn't say 

something along the lines of:

"it might be a possibility"


Long story short?

Anything but this coming true 

right in front of us:


8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, 

and something 

like a huge mountain, 

all ablaze, 

was thrown into the sea. 

A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
