    its fun when Neil and Chuck riff off one another when its just them and theyre joking and having fun with fan questions or topics that have been talked about to death but when theres a guest there to talk seriously about a topic it becomes very frustrating to listen to because the conversation seems to be all over the map, i never know which mode to switch my brain to.
    Oumuamua is fascinating and id love to hear a more serious discussion about it without all of the one-upmanship between Neil and Chuck trying to out funny each other, hopefully this didnt come off too negative, theyre a lot of fun together under the right circumstances

      @@oversoul135 Whether the answer is or isn't "Aliens!" is secondary, I argue. Dr Loeb, to me, is saying there are multiple research biases present in this type of observations. Those in of themselves are in need of address (and have priority, again I'd argue), otherwise, everything after that is potentially skewered by said biases. For me, the accurate answer to the question at the moment is "We don't have enough data." Loeb points out that an area of concern for him is that parts of the missing data didn't have to be missing - there was telescope time etc., what stopped the observations of the points he makes was, in essence, people's biases. We've seen in this and other fields how significant 'blindness' born out of bias can be in changing the accuracy of the outcome. I took away from that this is what we need to be re-evaluating, our fundamentals, so we can ask the question "Is it aliens?" more accurately, or figure out is that the best question to be pursuing?

    I agree with the critical method of ruling out all natural explanations before assuming it is aliens. But if you fail to account for it by way of natural forces after a reasonable amount of work (whatever that may be), that it occurs due to an unknown natural force or due to being manufactured to do so are equally plausible hypothesises. After all, the reason we could not test for the alien hypothesis is only because of our incompetence, not something to do with the hypothesis, so it is not a pseudoscientific hypothesis. It only becomes a pseudoscientific hypothesis if you have to adapt your alien hypothesis to counter a falsifying natural explanation.

  • @czarlguitarl

    Heating of ice inside Oumuamua by the sun's rays causes evaporative loss on the sun-facing side, providing a slight acceleration as it leaves the inner solar system. Also this would cause a slight deceleration as it arrives in the inner solar system, as the dark side of Oumuamua consistently would not experience such an accelerative phenomenon.

    The alien spaceship hypothesis reminds me of a short story by Polish SF writer Stanisław Lem (for those who don't know: the author of "Solaris" book, later put to screen by Soderbergh). It was translated into English and published in a book titled "More Tales of Pirx the Pilot", the story itself titled "Pirx's Tale". I highly recommend it if you could get hold of it - the book was published in 1983. Lem's kinda famous about things that he wrote about as a fantasy or a potential future technology that eventually came to pass in one way or another (such as virtual reality). The moment I heard about Omuamua and a possibility (even if very remote) of it being an alien spaceship I thought: "Lem predicted that - again!". The Lem's story basically tells how easy we could miss an evidence of an alien civilization, if any such exists or existed, by pure bad luck.

    QUESTION: Is there any chance that one reason Oumuamua accelerated at some point after passing the Sun is because only the side facing back toward the Sun (at any point in time) would be the side being exposed directly to its radiation and therefore the side "ejecting" (either through sublimation or evaporation) material. If the object was light weight, it wouldn't take much to accelerate it. However, this would also mean it might've decelerated on approach but not as much (due to be larger in its approach).

At those pressures and temperatures, the single differentiating factor that would separate elements is their density afaik.

  • @ThunderlipsJoeYT
    @ThunderlipsJoeYT 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Umm, are we not gonna talk about Oumuamua accelerating faster than it's presumed composition can explain? Must likely from solar winds.
    Something we've never seen naturally occurring rocks in our system do, something comets can only do if they exhaust and lose some of their composite particles which is evident by observing their loss of mass as well as the exhaust.
    That said, it is a behavior and acceleration we have seen man made space junk do?
    Seems odd we also omitted that it is incredibly shiny compared to most naturally occurring rocks in our system.
    Seems like a pretty huge details to omit when talking about it.
    Seems odd to dismiss the best fit examples we have, artificially man made junk can and does behave like this object, and that junk we've made can and does share unusually reflective properties.
    The 'naturally occurring' claim seems far more of 'requiring extraordinary evidence' when we mention everything we do know about it.
    The claim a thing shaped like nothing we've ever seen naturally occurring in our solar system or outside of it, that moves only like space junk we have made, is not interstellar space junk but is instead a naturally occurring never before seen shape, moving in a way we've never seen anything naturally occurring move that wasn't a comet that sheds mass when moving as such, unlike this object, reflects light in a way we have only seen our own space junk reflect... We must first prove it's not naturally occurring??
    I'm sorry but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and is shaped like a duck and moves like a duck and reflects light like a duck, why are we taking the Catholic Church inquisition model of 'it must be a zebra unless proven otherwise' position?
    If what we know for sure points most firmly at, 'there's a chance this is space junk from somewhere else,' I'm not clear why that cannot be equally plausible and ought not be given at least equal time as far as studying it.
    We already know a myriad of reasons, like distance and the passage of time to cover those distances, means we may never 2 way interact with another species from another system. However, it is plausible given the insane amount of space junk we've made in just a few decades that the likelihood of space junk flying in every direction from every system that once had space faring civilization is plausible at least.
    That's like a species that eventually gets intercepted by voyager saying, OBVIOUSLY we have to rule out naturally occurring because no way can intelligent life ever happen in another system.
    The moment we put stuff in space opens the possibility other life forms did the same at some point somewhere else. It is absurd that any human could immediately dismiss the possiblity this is something else's garbage, when the one thing we know for a fact is long after we destroy ourselves, our garbage will be around for much much longer. And the garage we have littered all over space will be around several orders of magnitude longer than that earth moon and Mars junk.

There were not even rockets capable of injecting satellites into such an orbit at the time. SO MUCH technology had to be created before that actually happened. And Clark was a surprised as anyone when his idea was actually realized. And read Jules Verne's stuff too. His ideas of technology are not that close but WHAT might be done, and actually has been accomplished, is very close!

    2I/Borisov was an "ordinary, dusty-iceball"-comet from an unknown star-system. 1I/'Oumuamua was rare and special. I can't conceive, that Daryl Seligman's new hypothesis of an H2-iceball (Hydrogen-iceball) fits in Oumuamua's case. Although it could explain the unknown acceleration, it should have been evaporated at its sun-passage! Oumuamua was of "rocky"-material or even of metallic-composition, nickel-iron probably, so it had no problem sustaining the sun's heat. Please read Roman R. Raficov's paper 1I/'Oumuamua-like Interstellar Asteroids as possible Messengers from Dead Stars ... white dwarf-stars... in " The Astrophysical Journal "
    2018 ApJ 861 35 . if a hot metallic core of a planetoid gets torn apart within the Roché-radius of a white-dwarf-star, this elongated shape of Oumuamua can easily be explained!

    Hi: In 1975, I figure skated. I also weight lifted to obtain strength. I could squat (with a 2x4 under my heels to match the heel height of my skates). I could do 500 lb squats (one set of 6, sit on a bench, then stand up). If the packs in NASA weighed 200 lbs on earth, it would weigh only about 33 lbs. I weighed 185 lbs then. My foot weight with the 500 lbs would be 685 lbs. If I went to jump on a spring board, it would not happen (not enough physical strength to jump). On earth, I could jump 4 feet onto a spring board to go up about 6 feet. On the moon, the 500 lbs + my 185 lbs would only be 114 lbs. This should mean that I could jump at least about 5' onto spring board. I should be able to launch at least 7.5 feet. what you have forgotten, is the height that the person can physically jump onto the spring board.
