Is this actually third law being broken or is it that the mechanism these oddly flexing microorganisms use is not well enough understood
It seems like this article would call an F1 car with a low drag coefficient “disobeying Newton’s third law”
Everytime you are asking yourself "did I just make world changing discovery, or did I miss something? " it is time to think twice about it. While the first one does happen from time to time, the latter happens much more often.

Not full article, but I’ve read enough to know irs clickbait
They’re super tiny, could they be moving through liquid molecules as if it was like a ball-pit? Due to scale, they look like they’re swimming straight, but they might be wiggling through the spaces up, down, sideways, etc. and we can’t discern such tiny movements? Could the tiny flagellae be pushing against the ‘ball(s)’ behind behind them to go into the spaces between the ‘balls’ ahead?
What if the movemement is like pressing against squishy balls that offer resistance once you press hard enough, and go back to normal size when the pressure is gone? Can science see that?
I didn’t look further than the article, so for all i know my curiosities are already answered. I’m brainstorming here on a tired mind, something or nothing might be relevant. Idk. Just some thoughts :)
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
