No sane person would want to be associated with that nonsense...

Much less a scientist! That "paper" is complete drivel, full of fantasy, incorrect statements, and impossibile assumptions that contradict known facts and basic physics.

Nowicki:

HYPOTHESIS:
About 4.5 billion years ago the Kuiper
belt object that is now 2003EL61 collided obliquely
with another, unnamed, large Kuiper belt object.
Let us call the unnamed large Kuiper belt object
Orpheus. The oblique impact with the Orpheus caused
2003EL61 to spin rapidly and it transformed its shape
from a ball to the shape of american football. Some
of the debris coalesced into the satellites......


HYPOTHESIS: 4.5 billion years ago there was a bigger
asteroid in the place where Ceres is now. Let us call
it Theia. Ceres has rocky core overlain with icy
mantle. Theia had the same composition as Ceres but
it was larger. Orpheus was made mostly of water ice.
Orpheus was not broken into small pieces by the
impact with 2003EL61 because the impact was oblique.
The impact hurled Orpheus into a collision path with
Theia. When Orpheus hit Theia, the impact moved Theia
toward Jupiter and it melted most of the water ice.
The average distance between 2003EL61 and Ceres is
on the order of 5000 Gm (35 AU). The diameter of
Orpheus was probably on the order of 1000 km. The
diameter of Theia is unknown; let us assume that it
was 2000 km. The probability that Orpheus hit Theia
is on the order of 10^-13.

(/ 1.0 (expt (/ (* 5000.0 1000000000) 2000000) 2)) =
1.6e-013

HYPOTHESIS: The enormous gravity of Jupiter hurled
Theia toward the Earth. As Theia was moving toward
the Earth, its mantle of liquid water was vaporized
by the sunlight, creating watery atmosphere. Theia
became very large comet. Its rocky core collided with
the Moon, thus creating a new, hot Moon. A few hours
later Theia's watery atmosphere collided with the
Earth. It ablated some of the Earth's sima and all
sial except the back 30% of the Earth's surface. The
original crust was made of 20 km thick sial layer on
top of 10 km thick sima layer. Some of the original
sial layer near the back of the Earth was not ablated
by the collision, but it was pushed by the collision
towards the back of the Earth where it piled up and
formed the very thick sial layer that is now known
as the continents. Dust particles made from the sial,
the Moon, and the rocky core of Theia were suspended
in the atmosphere that enveloped the Earth and the
new Moon. The atmosphere was so large that it
enveloped Venus, Mercury and Mars.

Your "Hypothesis" is not based in any science, observation, or reasonable interpretation of reality. It is nothing more than a fantasy that contradicts well understood science and fact

Look, I suggest you learn the difference between science and fantasy- if you want to learn more about 2003 EL61 and its satellite I suggest you start here: KECK OBSERVATORY LASER GUIDE STAR ADAPTIVE OPTICS DISCOVERY AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A SATELLITE TO THE LARGE KUIPER BELT OBJECT 2003 EL61

A quick seach shows that you have spammed your nonsense elsewhere and I am sure others have told you that your 'paper' is garbage, you should listen to them and try to learn.
