Prediction and Verification of Outbound Acceleration in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Using Temporal-Field Coefficients
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This record presents the publication Prediction and Verification of Outbound Acceleration in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Using Temporal-Field Coefficients. The study applies the Physical Time (ρₜ) framework and temporal-field coefficient k = −1 to model the observed non-gravitational acceleration of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. Using harmonic π-scaling ratios within the ρₜ medium, the work quantitatively predicts the measured outbound acceleration without invoking sublimation or outgassing forces. Verification is achieved through comparative orbital fitting and energy-momentum conservation across heliocentric distances. The results support a continuous coupling between mass, energy, and the consumption of the Physical Time medium, extending predictive validity from interstellar to galactic scales.
