Current Events > Interstellar object traveling through our solar system is from

(+) Yeah! (+)

the same place that the mysterious "Wow!" signal came from:

3I/Atlas interstellar object is the only known 3rd object of it's kind

Do they have any way to figure out how long it took to get from the wow signal location to our system? If it started the trip after that signal, that would be pretty interesting

Ifi it really is aliens, I hope they are more like Vulcans in First Contact instead of your typical invasion aliens

Never heard of this guy, but the thumbnail makes me wary of adding him to my algorithm.

You can remove videos from your watch history and they won't affect your algorithm. Someone on here gave me that little tip.

I only made it several minutes into that video because that guy didn't sound particularly informed or bright. Atlas is an interstellar comet and that is pretty cool. It likely predates the formation of the solar system by a couple billion years and that is pretty cool. It has a unique make-up of nickel with little iron and that is pretty cool. It coming from a neighbourhood of dense stars is not really remarkable. Spoilers, there's stars in every direction.

Do they ever feel embarrassed when they make these thumbnails

At least he isnt screaming or winking into the camera

Even if I posted a Harvard professor as a source you guys would still question and ridicule the source. I remember when good science accepted challenging questions and theories, not anymore.

From that dude's channel description:

This channel covers the Paranormal, Ghosts, Aliens and UAP phenomena.

I doubt he's coming up with interesting questions or theories, personally. Seems to be purely an entertainment channel. But I didn't watch the video so idk.

TC are you the guy who posted a video link about this thing a few weeks ago and the link went to a covid denier saying it was a spacecraft or some such shit?

Nope.

Could you try posting a Harvard professor instead of some idiot youtuber?

The signal was a specific frequency of light so we know exactly how fast it was traveling but we don't know exactly where it came from. The equipment used has it narrowed down to a direction but that direction includes multiple options. Tau Sagittarii 115 light years away but they think a better candidate is an unnamed star 1,800 light years away.

The wow signal was only 40 years ago so if they're coming from the same place, then the rock left much earlier.

The most bollocky of bollocks.

It's coming to tell us the Great Attractor is coming straight for us

Ergo, time to hop on the "idiot YouTuber" train?

I'm not entirely convinced you understand the concept of good science.
