This guy is missing 2%! Kind of important to include everything if you want to announce you've got your hands on alien tech and not some pitted and squished ball bearings.
- johng 3y agoIs it possible that the missing 2% isn't something from this world and is unknown? :)
- joak 3y agoTrace elements plus round errors can easily sum up to 2%. Imagine 84.4% iron, 8.2% silicon, etc... And dozens of elements with a tiny percentage
- 1970-01-01 3y ago>dozens of elements with a tiny percentage That's really the ask, isn't it? What else is in there that hints of manufacture? Even a few ng of precious metals such as platinum would tell us they were not natural formations. Something extremely rare, say Erbium, would be evidence that these are extra-terrestrial parts.
