You just made my week. Thank you so much for all of this.

Mine too.

Amazing part 1, looking forward to the much anticipated sequel! Dr Loeb is one of my favorite scientists. I truly admire his courage to challenge the "status quo"

@@johnathandavis5657 he trashes people that have spent their life looking for extraterrestrial life and have contributed far more to the field than he has, like Jill Tartar. He's a narcissistic self-promoting bully.

I am waiting to see the mental gymnastics from other scientists trying to disprove these. Dr. Loeb has solid evidence, Galileo would be proud.

Yay, thank you!

These particular interviews feel like we’re overhearing a conversation between two old friends, chewing the cud. over the meaning of Life, The Universe and everything else in between. 💚♾️

Perhaps his team will release samples to independent laboratories for their analysis. I mean, surely they will... won't they?

They did compare to nuclear fallout (p. 23) The testing was very far from New Guinea but maybe it could be from a WWII ship, since the location is not real far from Rabaul... But how would a ship make spherules idk. Welding?

@@DrMackSplackem how many labs are mentioned in the paper (p10)

@@nmarbletoe8210 industrial processes and volcanic processes could create those

@@nmarbletoe8210 Bloody heck, I speed-read right past it the first time. Thanks for the reference. I took a look at the Wannier paper cited: It's almost irrelevant, as it only directly examines Hiroshima. There were over 2000 more explosions after that, so it disproves nothing. The funny thing is, Wannier itself cites other spherule papers that would be more relevant. One has to ask why they weren't included.

-_-@@mal2ksc

Anything from a nuclear blast would still be radioactive and have all kinds of medium half life isotopes. They would be easily recognizable by any good lab.

Someone elses rtg?

Maybe its what's left of that steel cover the US nuked into space during their underground testing 😂

15 mins for me and in microwaving some corn on the cob. Thank u

I put my microwave into a larger microwave and set it for 16 minutes because this was posted that long ago. I'll let you know how it tastes.

Talk about random

Lucky!

​@@kjhmanLet's discuss randomness vs selective preordained occurrences.

Dragging a magnet behind a boat is 'engaging'?

"The answer" to what?

Cameron will bend the science to make a profit

@@Biedropegaz lol, you mean Avi will.

Amazing person and scientist because he tells you what you want to be told?

Great point and partially addressed in part two of the interview.

If it’s artificial it would almost certainly be directed to our planet.

If it were random, sure. But, if it was a piece of technology...

Avi plays both side of the fence expertly. To what end though?

We still don't really have an idea of what resides in the Oort-cloud plus some object that could be thrown in a ballistic trajectory towards our sun could reach these speeds imho(through a gravitational swing by a larger Oort-object f.e.). The abundance of Berilium could also be somewhat accounted for if that object originated from there as cosmic rays easily reach those objects there.

he is often mis-reported as "claiming" aliens

and i agree at least someone is looking for stuff, and doing it in an open and scientific way

I can give you a bunch that had nothing to do with Avi Loeb. I started on KZfaq talking about the science behind Tabby's Star, which he's never commented on.

@@JohnMichaelGodier yeah, but you’re the man JMG! 🤘

does Avi Loeb actually get people interested in the scientific search for extraterrestrial life or does he foster a paranoid and conspiratorial view that most scientist are the conservative, stodgy, backwards villains dedicated to supressing the knowledge of alien life right in front of our faces by geniuses like Loeb? Judging by the comment sections under the videos he appears in, I'm leaning towards the latter. Loeb takes all the oxygen out of the room in the conversation around finding aliens.

Put some clothes on bro

Sometimes he's just too optimistic, but he isn't the only scientist like that.

@@greatodinsraven5114 I'm good. Appreciate the advice, though. 👍

@@greatodinsraven5114 the bro is turning you on, bro? fly from your closet, trapped little raven!

just clicked randomly into the video and Dr. Avi Loeb never lets me down. "some astronomers want everything in the sky to be stones" I will bet my life on it that you can't find a single astronomer with that mindset. And let's assume they found the first physical evidence of an interstellar object, that's mildly interesting, we know interstellar objects exist since everything outside the sun's gravitational sphere of influence is an interstellar object and space is messy and full of... well... star stuff. this is like when we hadn't discovered planets just a few decades ago, we assumed they were there and when we discovered the first one, we weren't so incredibly naïve to think that on that first planet that we detected had life or alien civilizations on it and if we would have spent any money on research that would specifically proving that fact would have been a waste of money as this research project clearly is and every time Dr. Avi blows my mind on how his obsession with alien technology and any objection to his work is a overskeptical bias towards "just wanting rocks" is frankly (if it's his actual mindset) so warped and delusional it borders on insane Or maybe he just likes being popular with the public rather than going through the hard work of earning the respect of his peers so when you really think about it... do you still stand with Dr. Avi Loeb and a few rouges vs. ENTIRE SCIENTIFIC COMUNITY that can clearly see the giant holes in his logic and theories not because the smartest people on the earth are all in some mutual denial... that would make them dumb now wouldn't it? and you all conveniently more clever then e.g. the people that designed and run CERN just know that science isn't opinion based and this circle jerk of you people that want desperately to be smart... but just aren't, will never actually produce proof alien technology, even though you really really want to and it's just slowing us down but real scientist do real science with or without your support or gratitude and will soldier on no matter how the rest of us dumb dumbs just insist giving them regular headaches "because we want to be smart too"

@tobbi11 sounds like you are very passionate about this subject. It is okay if some people admire his work and others object. Our diversity and differing opinions(not to mention the fact we can even form opinions) is just one of many characteristics that make the human race so special and unique. Your response seems to come from a place of fear or anger. It's not about standing for Loeb and disavowing everyone and everything else in the scientific community. I truly hope we grow beyond this current mindset of polarization. Wishing you peace and happiness.

@@johnathandavis5657 if Avi wouldn't constantly flatly lie and accuse his detractors of bias and hypercriticality and would show just an ounce of humility (that his fans mirror) I wouldn't care one bit what he did with his time, but cultivating an attitude of distrust of any other work than his own (witch he ironically accuses every one that disagrees with him of doing) will negatively affect scientist doing real science and any distrust of science from the public is a drag on human progress

@@tobbi11 The jealousy you are showing, is a drag on human progress

@@gagarinoneLoeb fanboys sound like Elon Musk fanboys

well according to Avi you really shouldn't listen to detractors of his theories because they are all wrong, he calls them hypercritical, bias towards boring normal stuff even though that's not a thing. all they do is point out his disregard of the scientific method witch is obvious to them but not Avi's fans

Couldn't agree more,his ego and arrogance are very off-putting.

@@tobbi11 You should be awarded the Nobel Prize in jealousy.

@@gagarinone wow, another emotional comment, not arguing the points I make, just like Avi, petty, arrogant and nothing to do with science

I agree, but to play devil's advocate, if you happen to find just one component of ET origin which happens to be magnetic, then it really doesn't matter that most of the rest of them are non-ferrous. If an ET origin can be confirmed (a BIG "if"), there will be no shortage of resources spent on going back to find more. Personally, I am highly skeptical of Loeb in general. I find him to be highly sensational in his hypotheses and I find these most recent claims of his to be extremely dubious. However, as long as he's using purely private means of funding for his flights of fancy, and not benefiting from confiscatory financing raised at the point of a gun (aka taxation), I'm glad he's out there, running the edges of what may be possible.

You are mistaken, every material is magnetic. It can have a strong or weak reaction to external magnetic field, but it always will react to it. Avi assumed that debris are made from iron and nickel, because these kind of meteorites are the strongest ones, so it was reasonable to use strong magnets to collect debris.

@@Biedropegaz Understand the differences between 'para-', 'dia-', and "ferromagnetism". The materials retrieved here (just like you would with any 'metal detector' device), are all "ferromagnetic" in nature (meaning, iron containing), as that's the only type which can be attracted preferentially. Just to be clear.

@@DrMackSplackem He claims NOTHING. That's your problem, you're not sticking to the facts

@@galaxia4709 Huh. Why so triggered? The guy makes a lot of claims, and quite often. He's maintained a respectable media profile in this manner for some years now, and for someone to deny this is something I didn't expect, but is quite amusing, THB. Are you saying this video and the part II video after it are all about something other than the latest of certain claims which he is making? If you contend that they somehow aren't, then why don't you just tell us all how we should interpret everything so you can feel more comfortable (I'm not saying I care, mind you, just curious)?

agree. he says it is possible and worth investating. he is often misquoted as claiming stuff he does not claim

Avi was our first ever guest, but that was before people personally attacked him for having theories they disagree with. How come Avi causes such indignation? Maybe question your own biases.

this has become ridiculous, as I have said many times before it isn't his theories it is his incredibly rude and arrogant attitude toward his piers and any theory that isn't his own, and nothing has changed in my life that would affect my bias, but since he was your first guest Avi has gotten fame, written books gone on joe rogan and his hole identity and success is entirely bound to talking about Ailen tech so his life is bound to this bias, if you can not see that you have lost that last ounce of respect I have for this channel , goodbye @@EventHorizonShow

​@tobbi11 It sounds like you never had much respect for the channel to begin with. Good riddance.

maybe you're right and I was just to dumb to notice, good riddance indeed @@GM98420

​@@tobbi11Dumb, angry folks lashing out at what they don't agree with. Atleast you have the ability to recognize it.

These objects have beryllium which he explains points to interstellar travel since the sun prevents cosmic rays from reaching earth.

but its not a new isotope of it? its quite a bit of work to understand the claim - who is going to do that ? its not enough for 1 person to make a statement especially when they are biased to getting a specific outcome. & also the attitude 'oh i got one of my lowly interns to look for more spherules if it was that significant you wouldn't sign it off to one of your disposable interns. Its very 'hands off' .. "test it right away ' like he doesn't know how to operate the instrument. These type of guys get so removed from reality at this stage in their life. @@charlescook5542

Yup hes the only youtuber i sent a few bucks too... 🎉im poor

Thanks everybody! Much more content to come. Onward.

Thousands of years

Oumuamua originated from a very special frame of reference, the so-called local standard of rest (LSR), which is defined by averaging the random motions of all the stars in the vicinity of the sun. Only one star in 500 is moving as slowly as ‘Oumuamua in that frame.

I would guess not a significant amount, based on how much travel happens in the ocean. It is safe enough for people to want to go on cruises every year. I would bargain that most deaths happen on smaller boats/ships, like those for fishing. I'm sure Avi would be fine multiple times over. Not say there's no danger. It's just not that significant unless you drive into a storm.

Not enough sadly. If people knew just how much pollution and damage to the environment and over fishing are caused by people using the ocean they would get up and do something about it before it's too late. Then again, I think it's too late already. We are the worst parasite on this planet and nothing can stop us but ourselves

What. Because he tells you what you want to be told?

I've seen dozens and dozens of articles saying that Dr Loeb has claimed to have found alien technology. 🤦 I've been following him for a while now on here and his blog and I've never seen him claim such a thing. He proposed what if scenarios but I haven't seen him claim such a huge discovery.

Event Horizon you have fallen 😞

Their arrogance deserves it.

@@ChristianHWilliamsand also never coming up with testable predictions!

meanwhile the research progresses and is producing interesting results at the very least it is interesting math

@@nmarbletoe8210 It must be comfortable never having to make testable predictions or validate hypotheses, but every grift has its day, and this one's pretty much done, I think.

@@DrMackSplackem The Pentagon gave the coordinates. They hypothesized there might be pieces of a meteor. They found some. They hypothesized that they might be unusual since the speed and strength were unusual. Five were unusual.

also Bob likes space

I have located things as small as cannon balls with a cesium magnetometer tow-fish. You need to get within a couple meters of the bottom so you might need an auv or steerable towed platform

Please turn down (off)) the music.

🤣

Sorry I meant 32:50.

Sorry if it’s too loud for you. I’ll give it another look and see if it wasn’t mixed correctly.

You have no idea how much your attention to this means. I love your program

they analyzed 52 so far. 47 were 'normal' and 5 had unusual composition.

@@nmarbletoe8210 well then I am even more confused. Should this mean that the meteor was heterogeneous in composition? Shouldn't this be an aspect to point out? Is it common for a meteorite to have heterogenoous composition?

@@agnulittumc The 47 were probably not from the meteor but from volcanoes or some other earth source. They found the '47 normal' spherules in both the impact zone and the control areas, but all 5 of the anomalous spherules were from the impact zone.

@@nmarbletoe8210 ok it makes sense. It implies that most of what they sampled along the meteor's path os just normal earthy stuff but still 5 spherules are at least some evidence. Following prof. Loeb's blog I know they first found only 50 spherules, when they were still on the boat, and then found the other 650 after re-analyzing the material they brought back. I wonder if these 5 spherules are from the first group of spherules found on the boat, or they belong to the group identified in the lab in the US..

oops they analyzed 57 and there were 52 normal, 5 odd ones 13:13 sounds like the 'normal' ones could be from solar system meteorites, i type and s type whatever that is

It went beyond being critical, they tried to drag his name through the mud. They tried to ruin his credibility.

The critical "scientists" are in fear of losing THEIR own funding. They can't have guys like Loeb mucking up their comfortable pragmatic lives.

Great hire, Harvard U. Thanks to you a rogue scientist makes a treasure of an advancement.

The paper is linked in the description. I read it, but I think it only partially addresses your question.

Excellent point quivalla.

Im not an expert at all just curious . I calculated using steel ball bearings with the same diameter and weight as one average spherule it would take over 10 hours to reach the sea floor at the shallowest search depth of 1500 meters. The Western Equatorial Pacific Ocean Circulation Study stated that the current had a velocity maximum of −50 cm/s at approximately 200 m ( I dont have any data deeper) so these particles could easily drift 19 km before reaching the Ocean floor. Even minimizing would be well outside the field as its only 1km in diameter. They should find particles well outside the field. I know he found them I just don't understand how. @@cf453

Very valid point.

The first tweet in that thread seems to have been written without the knowledge that Avi and his team DID take control samples.

​@@EventHorizonShowyes I don't think everything written in that thread is a good rebuttal, but the part about chemical composition of old spherules seems too coincidental.. i do think IM1 was interstellar but I'm not so sure that Avi found parts of it. Still listening to the podcast btw, 1000x uranium seems like a good indication that it was interstellar. Cheers John!

Is there another way to access that critique? Elon went and broke Twitter, so it's not visible to people without accounts.

​@@cf453 no you gotta create an account

@@19vangogh94 Yeah, it's free as free can be. I don't get it, either.

Change our minds and think up something else.

@@TGBurgerGaming Why haven't we found a way to combine quantum mechanics and standard mechanics since Einstein and Bor? String theory will go the way of 20th century Ether - And there are still people that think Heisenberg was speaking literally about the cat analogy.... Heisenberg would be shocked that millions of people today think he was speaking literally with his dead/live cat in a box analogy- He was trying to point out the limitations in our understanding in quantum mechanics.... And yet we have professors dedicated to multiverse theory, an idea deeply rooted in a misunderstanding of Heisenberg

@@ThorPalsson cool. Now do the lotto numbers as well.

Please read Marx, I beg you.

🤮

Of course it is amazing by itself! So there is no need to make alien technology of it!

for battle you definitely want American generals, as incredibly terrible American politicians are, and even if the American military complex is a mess no one generates as many excellent military leaders, most of them know the art of war by heart not because it's the be all and end all of millitary strategy, but just to prove a point that they have the memory retention for mass information... that's hard... real hard. Avi is just saying big words that actually don't fit together don't follow him anywhere

Dude, I was raised by an American Combat Veteran. This comment wasn't intended for you.@@tobbi11
