Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, in a recent conversation regarding the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, stirred global debate. Loeb, who had earlier claimed that 2017’s ‘Oumuamua could be alien technology, now argues that 3I/ATLAS might also be of artificial origin, setting off another storm in the scientific community.
The comet could be older than our solar system. The comet is also distinct because nickel vapor was detected in the gas surrounding it.
Physicist Michio Kaku is warning about the AI-generated deepfakes, which exploit his image to push the idea the comet '3I/ATLAS' is an alien spacecraft that poses a potential threat.
Physicist Brian Cox has confirmed that Comet 3I/ATLAS — an interstellar traveller predating our Sun — is a natural object composed of ice, dust, and carbon dioxide, and not of extraterrestrial design.
Almost 50 years after the WOW! signal stunned astronomers in Ohio, 3I/Atlas reappears in the same sky region, raising questions about extraterrestrial activ
Harvard scientist Avi Loeb has revealed that if comet 3I/ATLAS were an 'alien spaceship', it could change course for Earth tomorrow (October 29).
I/ATLAS has unexpectedly become bluer than the Sun, hinting that it could be emitting light, not just reflecting it — a sign it may be composed of something far beyond ordinary comet material.
