      Nick Szabo  🔑 Retweeted Chris McCormick comes with absolutely no warranty

      If it's artificial we should consider a staggering variety of possibilities including ice rockets. But I've thought of a natural explanation: a comet-like object that experienced a natural high-energy event of duration less than its rotation time, giving it an asymmetric albedo.https://twitter.com/mccrmx/status/1065445820059738112 …

      is it just me or is Oumuamua starting to look a bit like the ice rocket invented by @NickSzabo4? "...rule out possibility cometary outgassing (unless it is composed of pure water)" "must be unusually shiny" = "coated with a thin insulating paint" etc. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/6-strange-facts-about-the-interstellar-visitor-oumuamua/ …

      We happen to live in a solar system where objects have not experienced such an event, but perhaps among interstellar objects, being hit by ancient high-energy radiating events (there are many kinds) is common in their geological history.

      The causation could be indirect: chemical changes caused by the high-energy event might make one side of the object more immune to dust being blown off or ice deposited than the other side, so when we observed it one side or part was exposed ice and other(s) dark soot.

      From original paper: "A roughly spherical object with a hemispheric albedo variation of a factor of 10 could also reproduce the lightcurve [instead of 10:1 oblong shape]" Per above theory ‘Oumuamua has an unusual albedo variation not an unusual shape. https://www.eso.org/public/archives/releases/sciencepapers/eso1737/eso1737a.pdf …
