And therein lies the biggest player in this...$$$$$$. Worldwide this will prevent anyone in power from making real decisions and has the ability to blind people to the bus coming right at them. THAT will be the beast that kills.
Money...or a lack of money...real or perceived...is the underlying issue on many of our problems today...
You hand them the material and tell them to learn it and teach it, or find a different job. Very simple. same as calculus, or evolution, or gravity.
Don't be silly, of course there is. Get yourself a space telescope and you'll be able to see it with your own eyes. Or eye (singular . . . telescope? Get it? )
Do you think it's an alien space ship then fmw? Serious question - I wouldn't be flippant about something like this.
Of course not. While it is likely that intelligent life exists in other areas of the universe, I don't believe any intelligent aliens will meet others because the distances are simply too great. With current technology, a trip to the nearest star to ours would take about 30,000 years.
There is also the idiocy of sending a Big A$$ ship and disguising it as a rock instead of a tiny probe that takes less resources and no one can see.
"NASA reveals new findings about 'Oumuamua, the 'alien probe' Note the NASA link - straight from the horse's mouth? https://www.cnet.com/news/nasa-reveal-more-secrets-about-oumuamua-the-alien-probe-asteroid/
For the last time little man NASA DID NOT SAY THAT! There was a paragraph at the very end of a long study that SPECULATED on possibilities and the alien probe hypothesis was one of them.
That site says NASA has REFUTED the "alien probe" idea. How did you manage to get that so totally wrong?
Please don't tell me you read all the nonsense in that link - have you nothing better to do? The whole point is that NASA 'refuted' it because they'd previously published the notion that it might be an alien probe. Jesus wept. Is there nothing that NASA can say that you won't believe - are you really so gullible?
I don't see any indication that NASA ever reported this object as being likely to be of alien origin. Your getting your info from cheap tabloids, not NASA.
yeah but their people even with evidence of climate change everywhere they can see and feel are still in denial
that's the bigger problem self serving politicians won't address they more worried about getting re-elected and cashing in on a extra pension cheque. I'd buy a Telsa tomorrow if I could afford it, I'd retro fit my home to off the grid tomorrow if I could afford it...but being forced into medical retirement those are know longer options for me. Understandable people who gain they income from dirty energy sources aren't excited about a change to green energy. The problem is right wing politicians tapping into the that fear for their own benefit. Global warming effects everyone and politicians should have the integrity to face the problem together rather than using it for personal monetary gain. Until that happens we're just spinning our wheels and going nowhere fast. People in the dirty energy business need help transition to clean energy jobs and all of us need help transitioning to green energy, it needs to be a joint effort or it can't happen.
So from where do the tabloids get the information? Answer please?? No hurry, I won't be holding my breath!
Asked and answered many times over. In some cases they take pretty dry information published by scientific agencies - like the near Earth objects database - and spin them into "OMFG Asteroids !!!!1!!11!" headlines. In other cases they take a small snippet from a much longer scientific paper and give the impression that the whole paper was like that. Then again sometimes they just make stuff up. AFAIK, you never go to primary sources, so you have no idea where they got their information from.
