”But 'Oumuamua probably didn't come from a system like our own, according to the new study. Jackson and his colleagues performed computer-modeling work, which indicated that systems with two close-orbiting stars boot out asteroids much more efficiently than one-star systems do.”

Once again, our brightest scientists have created a computer model that explains how the universe works. I wonder if they could also create a model to tell me where to invest so I won’t run out of money in retirement.

Well, it’s kind of obvious that a central “point-like” object cannot gravitationally expel so much as a grain of sand. ( N. B. a grain of sand and an asteroid are in the same category here. )

But with a spinning pair of suns ... let your imagination run wild.
