Harvard Astrophysicist Avi Loeb's Theory on 3I/ATLAS
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb suggests that the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS could contain antimatter, which he describes as "the most efficient fuel" in the universe.
Antimatter is "the most efficient fuel" in the universe
Loeb's idea, presented in a Medium essay, proposes that the interaction between antimatter and solar particles could explain the object's unusual brightness and apparent acceleration.
- Antimatter annihilates ordinary matter, releasing nearly total energy on contact
- Interaction with solar particles could generate detectable gamma-ray or X-ray emissions
Loeb suggests that NASA's Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope could observe these signals if 3I/ATLAS truly contains antimatter.
