Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about an incredible study that may have once and for all solved the mystery of 'Oumuamua - the interstellar visitor detected in 2017.
Small correction: the red stuff on Pluto is also made out of tholins which are organic compounds that often provide that color.

Small correction: the red stuff on Pluto is also made out of tholins which are organic compounds that often provide that color. A lot of the surface is nitrogen ice too, but it's not necessarily the main reason behind the "redness" of Pluto and similar objects.

I saw this in the 90s as a graduate student. Much of the spin you saw in the media for a particular scientific story was created in the University and then given to the News Network. We all should be more skeptical about popular science articles. Although, it's hard to see where the motive for spinning what appears to be a pure science topic, people don't realize the amount of money that is on the line. Popular Science articles kinda serve the same purpose as those advertisements for prescription drugs. Why would they show these to the general public? It's to influence the people that control the money.

Wikipedia (which provides references in case you'd like to follow-up) says, "On 26 October 2018, Avi Loeb [an Israeli-American theoretical physicist who works on astrophysics and cosmology and is the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University] and his postdoc, Shmuel Bialy, submitted a paper exploring the possibility of Oumuamua being an artificial thin solar sail accelerated by solar radiation pressure, in an effort to help explain the object's comet-like non-gravitational acceleration..." I guess you used the word "conclusion", so yes - it was not a conclusion. It was "exploring the possibility", which is a step-up from "not rule out".

"Mentioning the possibility" is all Avi Loeb ever does because his career is just fishing for citations in as many fields as possible.

Then your onus of authenticity is lacking. I have read it. He backs his claims with very high standing evidence and theories. In fact, he makes it so clear how unusual this "asteroid" is that you beging to understand higher governmental invested institutions might be having a part to play in why Loeb's research isn't being taken more seriously.... Don't take my word for it. Instead read his book about this topic. It is very interesting.

It's is not fair to claim that he is suggesting that this is a alien object. That is what everysingle headline i have seen, Vice for example, have claimed but this is not what Avi stated. He stated it is possible it could be. The only facts that he claimed as fact was that this item was a flat shape and not cigar shaped, that it was extremly reflective, Doesn't leave a tail and had some ability to accelerate itself. Mainstream science disagreed with all of these points, but every point accept for the acceleration was also asserted in this paper. I have seen two different schools of thought when it comes to the acceleration. Scientists such as Neil Degrasse Tyson said it was probably offgassing and Avi claimed that it could be a Solar Sail type acceleration, likely from sunlight but it can be done with a laser. The hypothesis that it could be technological in nature isn't that extreme of a idea when you consider that Avi is one of the world experts that has been working on or atleast hypothesizing Breakthrough Starshot, a program hoping to build a 5 mm thick solar sail that we could send to Alpha Centauri and have it arrive in a matter of years/decades instead of centuries/millenia using Solar Sail technology. I would not disagree with you if you stated that it may be dishonest of him to collaborate with news agencies that are going to make deffinitve/hyperbolic statements on theories, but i do not think its academically honest to pretend that he is asserting that this is qualitative, inarguable evidence of alien life. If you listened to him speak about this in long form, such as Lex Friedmans podcast with him, you may find your opinion becomes more neutral. The truth is no one knows untill we know. Whether thats a new space telescope, sending a cubesat to one of these objects to analyze it or just a increase in the total amount of these events untill we have enough evidence to prove a single theory without any faults or pitfalls

Serve a few as a side on each plate with grilled meat, and a salad or hot vegetable - you'll see why i was so upset my smashed potato went missing.

it looks like the crypto community remains cautious while the painful correction shows signs of ending. As Bitcoin continues to experience upward growth, prominent industry leaders and stakeholders are focusing on promoting open-source cryptocurrency development to support the protocol that laid the foundation for a trillion-dollar-and-growing blockchain economy. Bitcoin is currently trying to reclaim its all-time high and currently trading in the $60,000 range. However, BTC’s dominance suffers as some altcoins, including Binance Coin, have surged in the past 24 hours, and the metric is just slightly above 60%. Ever since the primary cryptocurrency dipped to $47,000 on March 6th, the bulls took control and pushed the asset north. In the following days, BTC firstly reclaimed the coveted $50,000 before heading for a fresh two-week high. Technical indicators suggest that the $56,000 is the first significant resistance line in bitcoin’s way up. Should the asset overcome it decisively, the following obstacles are $59,112, $62,685, and the all-time high at $58,355. As ever in the realm of crypto, it's difficult to pinpoint the proximate reason for the most recent episode of volatility. Bitcoin is way up over the previous year, driven by a theoretical fever from retail and institutional investors on the conviction that cryptocurrencies are arising as a mainstream asset class and can go about as a store of significant worth. I trade daily with Mr. Dylan Reggie's signals and the outcomes have been stunning. Since the time I began copying Fuller's trade signals, my portfolio has increased with profits, and it's time investors get informed properly and approach trading with a guide like him.

I don’t get these scientists when it comes to proving something they want it to be they do mental gymnastics to make it so. This is not science. So now they have found a sound scientific explanation that looks good in theory while it cannot prove one darn thing. While Avi another scientist did not do that, he said let all of the possibilities be there and analyze based on actual data. He never made any firm conclusions but hypothesized that it had a signature of being extraterrestrial, not that it was. And furthermore he stated let’s get real data when a next one similar to this one arrives and send a probe to acquire the data then analyze it. This whole thing is nonsensical.

When in reality it has nothing to do with denying science, but rather that the conclusions presented isn’t convincing enough and in a lot of cases comes of as biased, or in many cases, they’ve decided on the outcome first, then looked for ways to make it happen.

It is true that one builds a reputation in science, good or bad. One case in particular that comes to mind is a historical article that was in the American Journal of physics some decades ago. I was doing research for my honours thesis, and for a break and some light reading looked at an article showing a picture of Sir Isaac Newton’s original paper on gravitation. I noticed that the formula was copied down wrong. Along come some of my peers eager to leave. I pointed the error out, and was met by skepticism. I allowed myself to be dragged off to lunch, promising myself that I would check it out later. Being busy with my studies, I never got back to it. A few years later, on student did point it out and cemented his reputation in the community. Apart from the lesson to “if you see something, say something,” it must be noted that those reviewing Newton’s paper didn’t take the time to follow through with the calculations. I point out that the equation was wrong, not the theory. Having had a tendency to do derivations myself, rather than just accepting them (the schrodinger equation, for example), I failed to follow through when it was most important for me to do so.

A small problem with your characterization of the rush to popularize Oumuamua was the small nature of a very distant, fast moving object. The first to publicize it was not necessarily racing other scientists, he was racing the subject itself which could only be observed for a VERY short amount of time and needed to be popularized quickly to get collection time rediverted to it. Sorry to rain on your parade, but sometimes we cannot afford to move at a stately, composed pace in science. This is a historical science we are talking about, not a bench science; we have to take advantage of the cases we are given while we still can. There are no "do-overs".

You seems to be criticizing Avi Loeb although you didn’t have the courage to say so directly, maybe because he’s a tenured astronomy professor at Harvard and you describe your self as a math teacher. Nothing wrong with that but if I have to choose between both of you wrt Oumuamua, I’d not discredit Loeb first. You choose to have a dim view of those like Loeb who are not afraid to speculate on possible “alien” origin for Oumuamua and support it with compelling analysis. The papers you referenced in the video provide no proof or testable hypotheses to support the conclusions you shared and, as such, are also speculative with compelling analyses, exactly as Loeb has provided. The reality is no one still knows what Oumuamua is. Interestingly, Loeb mentioned in his videos on the subject (which interested viewers can easily find on RU-vid) about the fear of many astronomers speculating on the origins of objects like Oumuamua to be biased to the so-called natural origin and away from speculating about “alien” origins out of fear of ridicule. The tenure that Loeb has likely makes him less susceptible to this fear but his point is, if you’re speculating, what’s wrong with speculating about the whole gamut of possible origins? You’re videos are always enjoyable but no need to indirectly take shots at those who don’t have the fear that Loeb has talked about.

Thanks for this great comment, I have no idea what it was but I find this reluctance to even slightly consider it to be an alien object interesting, especially when we humans have sent out the 2 voyager probes ourselves. I really enjoy Anton’s videos but he could have done this without taking shots at Prof. Loeb.

@gulutaalan8845
@gulutaalan8845 3 года назад
I've read the two articles and they are full of controversial assumptions and simplifications. Just to mention some, they're dealing mainly with words on the fact that the tumbling speed (not yet fully decomposed) didn't change. Also, the averaging of irradiation is questionable. The jump in albedo from 0.1 to 0.64 (and I recall that 0.72 was also "available", from Triton) allows a large range of fit, reducing a lot the necessary size; still, the variable acceleration implied, besides 1/d^2, is not treated, nor the color correspondence to that high albedo. In the second paper, they describe a possible collisional formation starting with Pluto-like surfaces; still, if the estimates are correct, why no such N2 icebergs were ever observed in our own solar system, in the Kuiper belt, for instance? More, if they dominate the statistics, why Borisov was not N2? I'm not saying is a bad explanation, is just a possible one and I consider unfair to address the Loeb's interpretation as a personal wish for glory; he already had enough and his work is just another modeling, with a certain number of free parameters, maybe less than Jackson&Desch's one. Just because that one is ET and "is never ET" does not allow personal remarks to come out. To be understood: I'm not an ET hypothesis supporter, I'm a supporter of impartiality and, as long as assumptions and errors are declared, all works are valid and they do not compromise the science.

If you want to use the bar of soap analogy, you have to recognize the peculiarities that apply: the eroding forces (in the case of soap, friction; in the case of this object hypothesis, cosmic rays) must act predominantly parallel to the plane of motion for that soap to become a smooth flat disk. Or, but another way, if you were to rub the soap around randomly in your hands, you might end up with something that is indeed more like the cigar shape (or any of an assortment of other shapes). I suspect that if the hypothesis about the cosmic ray erosion is accepted, then it has some association with the way planets orbit around are star in a disk-like configuration.

I watched Avi Loeb talk about the object on joe's podcast and from what I remember he made no claims as to whether it was alien-made or not, but that to rule out the possibility while the possibility remained for the sake of your own scholarly reputation was not only stupid, but irresponsible and unexciting and that he felt there was enough unanswered questions about the object to warrant the possibility. That said he made a lot of other appearances after that and certainly got a lot of attention so maybe he did say more plainly it was alien-made. Anyways this explanation is as good as any even if the image does look like an interstellar bunghole. Another great video thanks wonderful fella
@UmbraHand
@UmbraHand 3 года назад
The thing is, many explanations were being thrown around apart from the alien craft. Loeb wasn’t saying it was aliens, but he was annoyed to put it mildly that many academics mocked the idea of it being synthetic in origin while openly promoting ideas of it being made of materials that have never been observed or created. Their ideas were/are just as implausible as the craft but discredited the idea without presenting a counter argument to it. His argument is very fair
@tmad-sb6mj
@tmad-sb6mj 3 года назад
Another point that Avi makes is that the hypothesis the object is alien space junk or whatever is objectively more plausible than other ideas that have somehow gained a lot of traction. E.g. think about string theory with many extra dimensions that we cannot see, or multiverses.

I also read Avi Loeb’s book ( EXTRATERRESTRIAL) and the above two / three posts are pretty close to my personal interpretation of Loeb’s position. I don’t remember Loeb saying it must be aliens, only that it was possible that it could be. I think the main thrust of Loeb’s book, and his interviews that I heard, is that for scientists to proclaim that it absolutely is not a fabricated item is incorrect. Keeping an open mind about that possibility, until new data (if ever) becomes available, is reasonable. Selectively crucifying Loeb for mentioning this possibility, when other “crazy”, unprovable (currently) ideas seem to be acceptable scientific dogma (string theory, multiverse, etc...) seems to be unfair. Loeb laid out a couple of solid reasons why it might be an artificial object. My “gut” tells me that the object was probably natural in nature. My critically thinking brain allows for the possibility of other possibilities. This new analysis of the old (original) data is yet another possible explanation of what Oumuamua might have been. Kudos to these scientists who keep working the problem. Kudos also to Loeb for pushing back against the ossified section of the scientific community that says “it ain’t never aliens ever, end of topic, and stop bring it up”. G’night wonderful people and peace ✌️.
