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.

Awesome Video
I was gonna say that but you beat me to it Anton
@@raym6791 ok
Anton will you adopt me?
Mark Twain had a great saying about being misled. "It's easier to fool someone than to convince someone that they've been fooled".
Yesss
No I haven't!

Which is why they teach the Theory of Evolution in schools as though it was fact.

As a former employee of Caltech, I can attest that academic institutions are all in on this opportunistic idea predation. Their PR departments maintain constant contact with news outlets to make public any and all findings, preliminary or otherwise, in near real time. They’re competing for precedence, publicity, funding and Nobel laureates.
You said it in a much nicer way.
exactly wild theory and money squandered to research it.
But the media is also culpable, looking for anything to sensationalize, even if it means drawing wrong (though popular wishful thinking) conclusions just to attract views and make a buck...
Having been in, and out, of academia I'd say that for every self-promoting egotist there are dozens of dedicated scientists driven by the desire to understand what's around us. Taken out of context, many of the questions being asked can sound foolish, but that can be said of most things out of context. I dare say that you misunderstood the point being made in the video. @@paulbattenbough1002
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.
Dear Anton, please can we have THAT on a t-shirt.
"keep your mind open, but not so open that your brain falls out". Priceless !
This is not an original quote though
It’s actually a GK Chesterton quote from a century ago
Haha
i find it weird that no video discussing Omuamua ever shows the actual images taken from the object.
I know, 1-2 blinking pixels are not all that amazing, but it would show people how drastically fantasized the artist impressions are. And to make it 100% clear that we didn't see it as clearly.
There’s no image of it, just hypotheses
@@TalkinKush That is not true.
@@grant1390well, the image is just a dot. Who know what the surface actually looks like
@@bb5979 Of course it is just a dot. Though it was also observed spectroscopically.
Is it just me? The object ejected invisible gases heated by the Sun which would cause it to move away from the Sun, but his image of its path at 3:30 shows it moving CLOSER to the sun than expected?

We have a quote like this in Spanish. Very good!
“…..not so open that your brain falls out.” - I hate that when that happens!

I've watched many of your videos. You do a great job of explaining a diversity of scientific matters without dumbing it down. Great use of visuals, too. My father who was a junior high teacher would have loved your productions. If you want to see another teacher producing good videos on very different subject matter, try History Hustle; he also has an unusal accent (to American ears) , odd personal style and loads of enthusiasm. Thanks again.
Why so unusual when in USA and Canada we have a plethora of immigrants who speak fluent English with accents? It's not so unusual to me since I hear all accents from people from abroad and our regional accents of English spoken all over the continent every day. What's your accent like?
"Keep your mind open, but not so open that the brain falls out" quote of the decade right there.
I love that saying but hear it from rather close minded individuals sometimes haha.
Too late for that, I need to find my brain again.
Twas a good'un wannit!
@@crono3339 reminded me of Jack Sparrow in the 3rd one when he'd dropped his brain!!
I believe that was a quote from one of Carl Sagan's books.
I feel like someone took extra care to make the pancake version of Omohamoa look like the Millennium Falcon
So I wasn't crazy lol
Brilliant. Here's the new artist impression [puts up image of a something that looks even more like a spaceship - millennium falcon]. I jumped to conclusions
I'll have to delete my comment now...
And the Baltic Sea anomaly...
Oumuamua*
Anton my friend, it's been fun watching you develop over the years, Your content is always first rate, well-conceived and presented. And you are experiencing the full Norm Abrams effect. I'm really impressed with how natural and idiomatic your English is getting. It's time to become a Patron.
As a scientist, I really appreciate the early section about scientific rigour. But I believe this social media process is the next phase of scientific communication with the public. In an ideal world, scientists making outlandish claims get the "story" into the public consciousness and then more grounded science communicators can join the conversation and explain the true story. Keep up the brilliant work Anton!!!
Now we are sure of it: Anton is working for the aliens, finding all possible arguments to hide their presence in our solar system
So THAT explains his smile at the end of his recent videos. It all falls into place now.
Yeah I never bought that "this is a Canadian accent" business.
My first suspicion is that he called me wonderful
He may be an alien, but he’s so darn lovable!
Trying to tell us these things aren't because of aliens is just the sort of thing an alien would do.
Alien craft is not any conclusion that any scientist came to regarding this object. At most they were saying we should not rule out that it could be an alien craft.
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".
Simply mentioning a possibility (regardless of how unlikely) will cause the media to announce it as a fact. They do it all the time.
"Mentioning the possibility" is all Avi Loeb ever does because his career is just fishing for citations in as many fields as possible. In this case he responded to reasonable critiques with outrageous ad hominem attacks and media campaigns. A real scientist would refine his predictions or admit it would be impossible to verify them with new measurements.
I've been a subscriber for years but this is my first comment. I was really bought into Omuamua, but your rational explanation was still so interesting and I learned a lot! In some ways this makes me feel better that we aren't yet a true space-faring civilization yet, so we didn't miss our one chance to intercept a Rama-like space probe. Great video, thank you!
Oh, you found one of my missing smashed red potatoes! Wondering where that went...
Boil red potato, (or any small waxy type potato) skin on till its just cooked through,
Cool the potatoes enough to handle them , and smash the potato on a cutting board with the flat of a large knife or bench scraper to about 1/4" thick, forming it into a ragged flat disc, the potato needs to be still firm enough to be squashed without falling apart.
put potato disks into a fry pan with a bit of hot butter and fry flipping once till both sides are crispy, season to taste with salt and pepper or a BBQ rub mix as it cooks.
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.
@@stinkyfungus I'm not sure if that's science but it sure sounds tasty!

Very enjoyable information Anton! when it comes to being level-headed you have one of the flattest heads out there, by definition you have a very sound mine and probably one of the most level heads out there! you're an asset to the science community!
My only gripe is Anton's analysis always falls on the scientific establishment's cool reasoning side. l like a bit more speculation and imagination in my science and not so much kowtowing to the general outlook of the NASA indoctrinated 'community' . We know they lie just as in politics. I'd much rather watch science that challenges the orthodoxy
The gullibility now days is off the chart!
No one truly believed it was a spaceship, with the exception of one guy...

I appreciate you addressing the subject of ego, because it's something we rarely consider without ego getting in the way.
Having an open mind is the willingness to consider all conjecture and evidence. It is not the willingness to accept conjectures that are not supported by the evidence.
"PROBABLY" doesn't fit in that sentence. We finally know that we don't know what Oumuamua was.

Far from it.
It could still be a ship purposefully surrounded by nitrogen ice to protect it during the journey. Good camouflage as well. They switch on tumble mode and silent mode in the event they are spotted by intelligent beings.
Goodbye
This NEEDS to be top comment
The Big Picture - have you *NEVER* seen the state of mankind's society the world over? It was just thoroughly explained in this video why some of the most intelligent among us are complete morons. Why would aliens, who switch to tumble and silent mode when spotted by intelligent beings, switch to that when spotted by people on earth? That makes absolutely *no sense* whatsoever in any way, shape, form, fashion, fantasy, or imagination. 🤦
"Keep your mind open, but not so open that your brain falls out" lol brilliant, thanks Anton.
Let us keep our minds open, by all means, as long as that means keeping our sense of perspective and seeking an understanding of the forces which mould the world. But don’t keep your minds so open that your brains fall out! There are still things in this world which are true and things which are false; acts which are right and acts which are wrong, even if there are statesmen who hide their designs under the cloak of high-sounding phrases.
- Walter Kotschnig November 8, 1939
@@sleepycalico aliens or not aliens, our world, as of today, is hardly the work of those whose brains didn't fall out, by all standards.
I'd question the merits of whoever reigns over science since 1939, because they sure don't want to change their habits. blind skepticism has become so rampant, it's practically dogmatic. I dare anyone seek out any kind of non-prescribed explanation of reality, as if there is a central governing body deciding on what is truth, a priori.
it's both funny and tragic at the same time, how nobody seems to get that the picture is inverted, and that those words got misplaced.
I was going to say the same, but I thought I'd check the comments first!
I enjoy your response, but I don't entirely understand it. I googled Walter Kotschnig and saw that he was a Foreign Service officer who was present at the formation of the United Nations and who went on to represent the United States at conferences worldwide for more than a quarter century. So, as that is the lead info from his obituary, I'm going to guess he wasn't also a scientist. The scientist who said that (most recently) is Anton. But I think it's a perfectly sensible thing to say, no matter who is saying it, in whatever field, at any time in our history.
The state of our world today actually *might* be partly attributable to people whose brains didn't fall out. lol But I take your point. Thanks for your wonderful response, wonderful person.
@@milanstevic8424 Oh, on further thought, I think I know where this went weird. I was just quoting the original usage of the expression.
I don't think I really appreciated your sense of humor before, but I do now. We've basically gone from it being a giant space turd to a raw Texas sized T-Bone steak, hold the onions. What's really funny though is the way you approach the possibility of alien life. I can see the balance between having fun and being a bit more skeptical, but the graphics you used were so incongruent to the words you used was absurd in the best sense of the word. I laughed so hard. Thanks for that.
I love you, Anton. You explain things so wonderfully for us every day people to understand.
He sounds like Dracula telling the weather! 😂🎉
Lol, I love how he chose his words carefully, " A pancake like shape." He could of easily said, " Disc." Which has aided to a plethora of conspiracy theories.
Wait!
The aliens are not only visiting us, they’re serving us breakfast.
At least he didn’t say it was saucer shaped!
... Unidentified Flying Pancake-shape; Unidentified Flying Saucer-shape: same thing; both are Unidentified Flying Objects.
That the scientists pretend to have any idea what this was, is a conspiracy theory
Flying pancakes
Anton: “beautiful Pluto”
Pluto: 🥰
Good introduction, and well said all throughout, some "scientists" behave like rock musicians instead of real scientists, totally correct.
Thanks Anton! Very illuminating perspective on the Solar system as well as Oumeamea!
"we finally know what it PROBABLY was, maybe" is weird way of saying we still dont know
It was clearly just a piece of interstellar ice with swamp gas evaporating off it. Nothing to see here. And anyone who says anything else has a mind so open their brain felll out.
Most people probably haven't seen the movie Aniara, but omuaua reminds me of it, an old spaceship with a dead society just floating through space.
That movie was sooooo sad! But good🧐

Lol, love that line: "Keep your mind open, but not so open that your brain falls out."
AMEN, Anton. As a scientist, it has been my observation over the years that the "discipline" of science is actually 40% egos, 40% agendas, and 20% real science. For me it got downright depressing.
at most 20, at most. I left the "scientific community", which is a propagandistic term for the outside. Yet, leaving just made me to understand that the area science still provides intellectual peak experience. Ergo I mixed, stayed scientific without the need to meet the ego-trippers
@@monnoo8221 You would enjoy Avi Loeb's book. Highly recommend, based on your comment, if only for the parts unrelated to the controversial chunk of rock.
The worst thing is that these folks are the ones who get all the attention, drive all the grant dollars, and push science in the wrong direction.
This is the reason I don’t blindly believe the government and other dimwits that tell us to “trust the experts and scientist”. It’s an annoying situation, for being sceptical towards what is being portrayed as the “truth” or scientific consensus in some matters, portrays you as a science denier. 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.
2:59 um, Hello? That's obviously the Millennium Falcon. Apparently after too many jumps to hyperspace.
hahaha
So you're telling me it took scientists 7 years to come around to the possibility of it being a disc?
Why am I finding that so hard to believe? This raises more questions than it answers.
What happens is people (science is only 'people' after all) become complacent with current dogma, so they cease investigating and thinking about it, and they tell their students to not bother to question it, that the current explanation is fine (though it may be weak and even wrong).
....'keep your mind open, but not so open so your brains fall out"....I love it! Brilliant, informative video
"Finally know" and "Probably" shouldn't exist in the same sentence.
It was probably definitely not aliens for sure!
Agreed, its one or the other.
@@Aaron-oe8xw In most ways i agree with you guys but on the other hand, Finally know and possibly are not entirely exclusive. When A person is trying to learn something (look at code breaking) trying one thought over another is how to determine if that thought might be valid or is not valid. Basically it is part of the learning process.

Anton seemed kinda pissed off in this video, he "probably" wanted to put an end to the alien theory as much as possible.
Methinks he doth protest too much.

You are so dang interesting to listen to. Thanks for your expertise on topics like this.
I know how much people want it to be aliens but isn't it being a piece of another planet from another solar system cool too?
Its not that we want it to be aliens. Just as much as skeptics want it not to be aliens.. but the fact is it behaved like a lightsail.. it could be a chunk of a planet for sure but what if its not? The fact that its still being discussed means we know absolutely nothing of its origin. Passing it off as just a chunk of planet or ice rock is just as lazy as calling it aliens without any solid evidence. All we have are theories
That's totally cool I don't understand the need to make it something more.
NO

I'm so glad Anton is sharing this video and talking about it. Harvard physicist Avi Loeb is claiming that Oumuamua is a extraterrestrial craft and has been getting a lot of press coverage for it.
Thank you Anton!!
i watched Lex Fridman podcast with him and he said its possible not that it IS.. Media might change his real wording.
I'm not disregarding what that man did for the betterment of science, but it's pretty clear he's just chasing popularity at this point.
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
Anton: "Dear Dr. Avi Loeb..."
Ah, the comment I was looking for.
Kind of an ugly letter.
I was listening to this on the radio today, very cool
If they've correctly estimated 500 million years as the amount of time it traveled through interstellar space, and they know the trajectory, have they given any list of possible solar systems it may have originated in?
Anton: "It more likely disc-shaped"
[alien theory intensifies]
It's the Millennium Falcon! :-)

You are an amazing science communicator, seriously. Thank you for keeping the course and not going down the Rabbit hole of conspiracy and clickbait crap. Science NEEDS more people like Anton.
yeah, channels that showcase fresh journal papers in a fairly dry way are the best, in particular this channel and suspiciousobservers.
@@BlackMasterRoshi hard pass on Suspicious0bservers, which is a pseudoscience wank fest run by one of the least likable humans on the planet.

I told someone yesterday it's just an asteroid.
Then...last night I saw this video.

Always great study reviews. Thank you Anton.

“A guess”, IOW….
exactly
finally probably definitely maybe ... possibly .
This is a great video Anton!
You give fantastic scientific commentary in your videos, to be sure.
Yet filming a video with a 16 bit Mario on your t-shirt, gives you unmistakable legitimacy, & 100% respect from the gaming & science community!
Oumuamua is just a typical Galactic federation interstellar probe investigating a search for intelligent life. After coming through our Solar System and seeing none it promptly left again!
Lol
😹😹😹
Obviously
It mist Anton
Your Chanel is absolutely brilliant! I’ve learned so much from you. I hope you know there are many of us that appreciate what you do. Sharing knowledge , inspiring the imagination in such a way the average person can understand is a gift. Thank you! I can’t get enough of the science of what’s out there!
"Oumuamua... resembles an old bar of soap" (3:00). Anton, how frugal are you with soap?
Always appreciate your articles, Anton Petrov!
Fascinating. Seems logical Lt. Anton.
Back here because of PBS SpaceTime! So glad they gave this Wonderful Person a shout out for all his dedicated work!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
They recommend the book: Extraterrestrial to me and I got it on audible regardless of what the object is thought be the book has a lot of fascinating ideas that opened my mind to some really creative and excellent thought ideas to do like the thought of space acreology looking for extraterrestrial space junk
You never know.
This guy is litterally a guy who reads reports with little to no grasp on the information.
You missed the entire point that the guy was trying to make. He wanted people to think outside of the box to have a child like wonderment about the universe....
Exactly ... I have listened to Dr. Loeb's lectures on his speculation about "aliens". He did this to illustrate the point that scientists are limiting themselves to cliquish pool of solutions. If a solution isn't one that is scientifically trendy, then it is discarded. How is "alien technology" any more or less valid than the search for dark matter particles, string theory, m-theory, etc.?
@Cameron DesRosier It's not that the idea looks stupid, which nobody is claiming at all. It's that there are other competing explanations which fit the data more closely and have a higher probability of happening, which is the ONLY valid reason to reject a hypothesis in science. Which is more likely, the FIRST random object we've discovered floating through our Solar System on a completely random trajectory just happens to be an alien spacecraft, or it's a weird rock?
A child-like wonderment to the world is good, and that's why people come into science in the first place, but frameworks exist in science for a reason - to separate what we want to be true, from what is true. Many of us want aliens to exist, because it's an exciting prospect, but if we allow that to bias our judgements then we're not doing science anymore, we're writing fiction.
@@applewoodcourt a scientific theory is only as good as is ability to predict future cases. The alien theory might be cool, but it absolutely doesn't serve to help predict future encounters. What are we supposed to do, beam radio signals at omuamua?
Avi Loeb complained that if we don't consider the hypothesis of intelligent life, then we'll never find intelligent life. It's socially acceptable to hypothesize microbial life, but not intelligent life. He never claimed it was the most likely hypothesis.
@@AnexoRialto I'm fairly certain that intelligent life is usually the first explanation to be considered and excluded.
Thankyou for this informative video. I kind of like the idea of a space cigar from another solar system.
I just love the fact that the scenario pretty much mirrored the Arthur C. Clarke book - "Rendezvous With Rama"...
A cylindrical object noticed entering our 'local' inner Solar System.
I can't remember if it mysteriously manoeuvred? I think it did, hence why mankind noticed it the first time?
Ah! No (I just looked it up), what happened is that they'd begun tracking asteroids after a devastating Earth impact roughly a hundred years prior. The fact they were already on the lookout for potentially dangerous NEOs meant that they were able to spot Rama entering the Solar System.
I think they confirmed it's alien origin when it started to slow down and manoeuvre for a slingshot from the sun (if I recall correctly?)...
Anyway, I believe that that's about as far as art mimicked real life.
Rama ends up being a probe and returns years later in "Rama II", presumably upgraded to support human life a little better than the first time. So it was sort of a collector of different spacefaring species, cataloguing their lives and other aliens' lives (such as the 'Octospiders'!), essentially like a Galactic-zoological 'Catch, Study and Release' program.
From what I recall, none of the occupants are aware of the beings who actually built Rama. They're unseen and unknown... I think? 🤔
I dunno, I can't remember if that was revealed in the later books, "Garden Of Rama" and "Rama Revealed"?
Anyway, I'm rambling...😉👌🏻
✌🏻🙂👍🏻
I used to have a copy of the 1st two books and read the 1st. I remember little, but it was good.
Throwing shade at one particular Harvard educated scientist lol
Loeb I believe right?
"Keep your mind open, but not so open that your brain falls out" Got to admit i'm using that from now on.
That was originally a Richard Dawkins quote if I’m not mistaken.
Not ....
😂 ditto
So that’s what I should do
I think that one's been ruined for me, having first heard it in a church as a kid.
Ahhhh...patience in evaluating observations...what a noble concept!😎🤙
Anton I think this is the thing from Uranus! LOL 😂😅
One of my favorite Simpsons jokes by the way❤
It always reminded me of the book Rendezvous with Rama, so my hope is still that it’s aliens.
Of course you hope it’s aliens, we all do, but what you probably meant is that you still think that it’s aliens.
I can tell you that it’s not, even if it was it would be so unlikely that it would be hilariously funny.
Use logical basis for your understanding else you will loose in life. It’s like chess
@@generalhypocrisy1876 life is a game we cannot win, mortality
It’s a funny game I must say, I like games but I’m also very good at them. So much to learn from so much simplicity, but it is indeed the devils game
@@generalhypocrisy1876 I'm not saying its aliens. But, you can't say for certain that its not aliens. Unless you have a really fast space ship no one knows about.
Nothing is certain in science, the word certainty is probably the most human word there is because it’s simply just a word to get a point across.
I’m certain on something is the same as saying that I believe in something in my world, I hope that makes sense since we could be living in different realities according to that
Come on Anton... admit it. It looks just like the Millenium Falcon.
Unless you believe in flying pancakes...
Funny stuff! 👍🏼
