Sometimes I feel, when papers that have grand speculations contained in them, should be made available to the public without the author(s) name tacked on it, and only be released after the public comes to a consensus. Why? science is about science not the people involved, high credential folks low credential folks don't matter. Just because someone is a high-cred scientist doesn't make his speculation any more worthy than a jackass's just because his credentials somehow factor in, it leads to more often than not, utter bs. Case in point: Linus Pauling and Vitamin C
The amount of acceleration reported for this object, attributed to light pressure if its mass is minuscule enough, or wholly unaccountable otherwise, should make everyone doubt what they think they know.
It makes me wonder whether we must begin to consider plasma interactions with the object's electrical and/or magnetic field.
