Oxygen, in particular, is crucial not only for biology but also for technological advancement. For example, levels below about 18% oxygen could prevent the use of fire, which historically has been essential for metalworking and thus the development of advanced tools.
Sagan figured that it would take about a thousand years for a civilization to progress outside our observational limits, based on the way human civilization had advanced in the past. But a great deal has changed since Sagan's day, particularly in the area of computer technology.
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb currently says there is a 30-40 percent chance the object is not natural in origin.
He's going to have a hell of a career going forward if there are aliens in that thing.Right now the discussion of object 3I/ATLAS is all the rage among my friends. And this Loeb dude is causing a big disturbance among amateur science enthusiasts:
SETI Paper Responds To Claims Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Might Be An Alien Spacecraft

I tell them that it's good that someone is considering the possibility of this thing being of artificial origin. But that extraordinary evidence is needed to make that judgement, and so far Mr Loeb has not produced any. And that a 30-40 % chance of it being artificial is humongous and no single observation is giving reason for that being the case ... but boy, it's hard to try to reason with people that insist on believing otherwise ...
Meanwhile, Tom Statler, NASA lead scientist for solar system small bodies, has also weighed in on Avi Loeb’s suggestion that comet 3I/ATLAS is an alien spacecraft.
“It looks like a comet. It does comet things. It very, very strongly resembles, in just about every way, the comets that we know,” he said, adding, “It has some interesting properties that are a little bit different from our solar system comets, but it behaves like a comet. And so the evidence is overwhelmingly pointing to this object being a natural body. It’s a comet.”
A risky career move, indeed.He's going to have a hell of a career going forward if there are aliens in that thing.
And none at all if there are not.
Yebutttt ... someone's eventually bound to win the lottery, right?99.999999 percent chance it's a comet disguised as a alien craft.
We all know that comets are a lot more dangerous than aliens, right? They've been trying to sneak in, to destroy earth, as aliens, forever.Yebutttt ... someone's eventually bound to win the lottery, right?![]()
It would be nice if the latter were true, but he's been real careful to couch his words so that he can claim that he never said that he believed it actually was an alien craft, and you can bet he will go to lengths to point that out forcefully when the time comes.He's going to have a hell of a career going forward if there are aliens in that thing.
And none at all if there are not.
Some officials go on record claiming to have seen craft and non-human beings with their own eyes, and these are people who are putting their reputation and their names on the line
Indeed, the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer data from Mars Odyssey points to water ice possibly still existing there in some quantity. At some point, local heating events, perhaps from distant volcanoes, impacts or long-term orbital variations, would have melted the subsurface ice and brines, and the liquid water would have run through cracks and fractures in the ground, dissolving the rock and turning those cracks into large caves.
