| 0:00.0 | Because the universe is stretching and expanding, there's a few anomalies in particular, especially 3A Atlas. There's a case that this could be an alien spacecraft that's passing through the solar system. The other thing that's weird about the subject moves really fast. You shouldn't expect to see that one every million years or so, and yet we've caught it within the span of like three or four years of looking for these things. And so Abby's making the point that if this really is that big, it basically means it can't be natural. NASA's budget is about $25 billion a year. But of course, only a fraction of that goes to building telescopes. Some people are freaking out right now. In the science community. We'll get into it. But there's something about black holes that are like a cheat code to reality itself. There's these holes that punch through space and time. I'd be quite tempted to throw myself into a black hole just to like, see. I've heard wilder ideas. Like I say, I was falling back. You were watching from the spaceship. Until literally the end of the universe itself, he'd be stuck there. And there are some credible reasons to believe in a multiverse as well. And the first one... Hey guys, if you're not following me on Spotify, please hit that follow button and leave a five-star review. |
| 0:58.1 | They're both a huge, huge help. Thank you. Is this three eye atlas going to kill us? |
| 1:12.6 | What's going on? |
| 1:13.6 | It could do. |
| 1:14.6 | No, I'm not too worried. |
| 1:16.6 | I'm not too worried. |
| 1:17.6 | Some people are freaking out right now. |
| 1:19.6 | Who's freaking out about it? |
| 1:20.6 | Like in the science community? |
| 1:21.6 | You know what? |
| 1:22.6 | It's amazing. |
| 1:23.6 | It's kind of become like this viral thing. |
| 1:24.6 | It's actually not so much the scientific community. |
| 1:26.6 | Scientists are definitely interested in it as well. But this one's really broken through in terms of pop culture, right? You've got celebrities tweeting about Kim Kardashian. It's like tweeting about three-hattles either day. So you've got, you know, people are getting all over the world, are getting really engaged about it. And it's kind of a double-edged sword. And it's great because when people are talking about science, as a scientist, I'm always excited about that. But we'll get into it. But there's a lot of confusing, conflating information about it as well. And so some people are panicking that their lives are going to end. And other people, maybe the scientists are more like, you guys maybe don't need to stress out too much. So there's a lot, there's a lot to say about this subject. All right, well, let's unpack it because I know, like, Professor Avi Loeb has been going on some podcasts. I believe you just did Joe Rogan again to talk about this. And I haven't had a chance to listen to that and like what the overall take is. |
| 2:18.3 | I've seen the cliff notes of it. Like, oh, could it be something from another planet of another |
| 2:23.4 | species or something? That's a little beyond me. But for people out there who don't know anything |
| 2:28.5 | about this and just want a basic understanding minus like a Kim Kardashian tweet, What are we referring to when we talk about |
| 2:35.2 | three-eye Atlas? Yeah, so three-eye means third interstellar object. So we've detected three |
| 2:42.9 | of them so far. The first one was Omoor-Mua, which is Hawaiian for Messenger from afar. That was I think |
| 2:50.0 | 2017, 2018. And then the second one, |
| 2:52.5 | by the way, Omimo was the one that actually also had a bit of alien jazz about it, because you might |
| 2:57.5 | remember, maybe you can pull up, there was some beautiful artist's impressions of it being |
