Harvard scientist warns interstellar object blasting toward Earth ‘may come to save – or destroy us’

I think the point is, it may be an engineered object, and therefore of alien origin.. And whilst it will miss the earth, by the time it arrives we won't be able to directly see it, so could be the launch platform for an alien invasion..

But it's Avi Loeb, a nice enough person, but he always jumps to 'Its aliens' and whilst he does tend to follow the science, he could do with reigning things in a bit..

In this case I think he is glossing over the random nature of distribution of matter (varying density) and while what he says might be true for the average doesn't mean the distribution is uniform in reality.

Assuming some technological advanced aliens why would they bother - isn't like hiding the launch would affect the outcome.

What?


Hopefully what ever it is, can sort out the economy and get rid of the cost of living crisis

Good thing we’ve got human redundancy and don’t rely on singular AIs run out of data centres with undersea networks.
