Have you heard about the bird?

“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.”

I bet their computer models also proved that global warming played a part in this.

”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.

If most star systems are binaries, how does that make this weirder?

Which means that, one-star systems ALSO eject objects.

So, we really don't know where yo-mauma came from.

Then, if an object gets "strategically" placed between 2 large objects, like Jupiter and the Sun, the object can be sent careening out of a one-star system too.

So, the computer model is lacking in "diversity" of scenarios.

And there are a lot of these binary systems out there; previous research has suggested that more than half of all Milky Way stars have close stellar companions.

...

So it’s not weird as the title says.

” ‘Oumuamua Likely Had 2 Stars”

Is that like “Heather Has Two Mommies?”

Sounds like they are stretching what little they know about this object until the data screams for mercy.

Funny, I don’t much trust “experts” any more. Wonder why?

Well when you turn 18 million years old, you get kicked out of the solar system house.
