They won’t iron out their theories because 3I/atlas is just one big rock.
Slow it up enough to put it in orbit around the earth and mine it
Is it slowing down yet?
I believe it’s speeding up , though they only give current velocity https://i3atlas.com/trajectory
The only explanation I can think of is that this thing is a part of the core of a planet that was destroyed. It would be mostly nickel IIRC.
If I am wrong my reply is Dammit Jim, I’m a doctor not a planetary scientist.
Maybe it just change down inside the cushions that fell out of something’s pockets...
“Emission pattern unprecedented in 4.6 billion years of Solar System observations”
I guess Alexander the Great did not destroy all of the libraries after all.
My hat goes off to those responsible for the maintenance of records from that long ago.

Sir, you hit that one out of the ballpark.
A stream, no a torrent of gold needs to be directed at funding more research of this exciti g discovery!
It’s just a rock. They deserve tons of study, but in the end, they are nothing special.

Such an amazing display of curiosity and open-mindlessness!
You of course know everything there is to know in the wide universe, so nothing is a real surprise - good for you. You should share you great knowledge with those that study such things and tell them just how fruitless their profession really is.
Hope the aliens remember to lock their doors on the way by. We can be a pretty nasty bunch....

Where there is one nasty bunch, there is another bunch even nastier.

Except that were ever iron is found, nickel is bound up with it, and vice verse. They are never seen as separate elements, even in spectrogram studies of stars.
There is no iron in 3l.
FR is such a disappointment when it comes to investigating the truly unusual, but jumps at the chance to investigate ordinary politicians.
Most likely iron is present, just at a lower ratio than expected and current instruments can’t see it.
Why would some alien race take a block of pure-ish nickel, and just throw it randomly into space? There’s literally exactly zero chance they aimed it at us from millions/billions of years ago. And nickel isn’t used in space applications except as an alloy, so it’s not like this thing would be proper artificial construction anyway..
