but only if they have strange elastic properties

What if they don't have strange elastic properties? Why would they have strange elastic properties? Should I assume it's more likely that they break newton's third law and have strange elastic properties than that they don't break newton's third law and don't have strange elastic properties?

I don't know how to read so I'm not clicking on the article btw
