3I/ATLAS comet’s behavior is normal despite tabloid sensationalism, Harvard scientist Avi Loeb accused of promoting alien theories for financial gain.
Tabloid Sensationalism
The strange behavior of 3I/ATLAS is a fabrication of tabloid media journalists, whose theories are fueled by scientists who have an interest in creating sensational hype around comets.
Avi Loeb’s Financial Interest
I am primarily referring to Harvard University astrophysicist Avi Loeb, who has published several books addressing the issue of alien civilization spacecraft passing through the Solar System. Creating a stir around such objects is in his financial interest.
Scientific Reality
However, let us not give in to theories without a factual basis. The 3I ATLAS object is by no means a strange body, but rather it is extremely interesting from a scientific perspective.
