But once you produce the elements, they maintain their isotopic ratio from the cloud that made the solar system, for example.

And if you bring material from another cloud that was far away, it had a different abundance of isotopes because

They came from another exploding star that was not the same.

So you can tell if material is not from the source.

So anyway, we are now about to release the findings of the isotopic analysis.

And of course, these critics, they don't have access to the materials, yet they make a lot of noise.

And I don't really care about these people, you know, because we have the materials, you know, we invested a lot of time getting the materials.

And I let the laboratory of Stein Jacobson do its job without any intervention.

And they, you know, basically following the standard scientific procedure and using the best instruments possible.

But in the context of Oumuamua, I wanted to mention one other thing.

Three years later, after Oumuamua was discovered, three years later, there was another object that was found by the same telescope in Hawaii.

They found it in August 2020.

So it was given the name 2020SO.

Do I know that object?

This is not Borisov, no?

No, no.

And that is an object from the solar system, it turns out.

It's not interstellar.

And...

Turns out that object in 2020 was definitely pushed away from the sun by reflecting sunlight.
