Avi Loeb's calculations about 3I/ATLAS are 100% wrong because he has never understood that dust in the tail(s) responds to solar radiation pressure. Solar wind shapes the ion tail. But the radiation pressure is about 1000 times larger than the solar wind ram pressure, for particles that feel it.

A thread worth reading slowly.
It explains, clearly and straight to the point, why Loeb’s claims about #3I/ATLAS don’t hold up—not a matter of opinion, but of comet physics anyone can check.
The tail isn’t escaping gas, it’s dust pushed by solar radiation.
