3I/ATLAS: An Interstellar Permafrost Comet — A Natural & Testable Hypothesis for Anomalous Behaviour

3I/ATLAS is a radiation-hardened permafrost object whose anomalies can be explained by its ancient origin and billion-year journey through interstellar space. A natural hypothesis grounded in established astrophysics.

3I/ATLAS Has Been Turned Into the Bent Spoon of 21st Century Astronomy

Avi Loeb claims 3I/ATLAS requires 10 Earth masses per star or alien technology. Proper detection bias and survey duration corrections reveal it needs only 0.1-0.4 Earth masses—completely natural.
