Prof. Loeb- you also previously committed to comunícate your findings to us, humanity. Is that still the plan or has your position to share has been compromised because of your new role?

Dear Professor Loeb, I have two further questions: Firstly, are You aware of any sightings outside the USA, as one hears nothing about them, as if there were two different planets or realities? And secondly, do You intend to collaborate with colleagues from other countries who share the same goal and interest? Thank…more

Prof. Loeb, I believe you are citing Robert Frost, not Thoreau. Frost's famous poem is "The Road Not Taken." Both Thoreau and Frost are steeped in the New England ethos of living with the land and independence of thought. Were they alive, I think they both would be flattered by being mistaken for each other. To your…more

Methane is evidence of chemistry first, not life first. The correct explanation begins with the object’s material history: where it formed, how its ices were layered, how cosmic radiation processed the surface, how solar heating penetrated after perihelion, and which reservoirs opened. Biology is not the first…more

Hi Avi. 

You wrote eater instead of water by mistake.

What is concerning to me is that many people will take that movie as being based upon facts, since the timing of its release coincides with the release of the UAP files, and that Mr Spielberg is working in the background to try to soften the effect of true disclosure (which many feel as imminent) on the public. There…more

Isn't it too narcissistic to think that due to some reason any advanced alien civilization would choose us as their ultimately interesting subject of investigation? Why us out of billions of other possible choices? One must indeed be remarkably confident in humanity’s significance to believe this. Not to speak that…more

Well, a bullet is also supersonic, never seen glowing fireball. 😁 The problem isnt "must also interact electromagnetically". Everything that's collided, even photon/light arriving at any surface and that surface "reflects" the light going into our eyes, are aldy electromagnetical interaction. (The photons hit object'…more

.I was just looking at the CNEOS database. There are 1063 entries extending back to 1988 and approximately half don't have velocity data. The April 1 event stands out like a sore thumb. Why did it take 2 months to hear about it?

I find it interesting that meaning may be found by discovery and that advance civilizations may have discoveries that give even more hope. Of course religions promise that proper search in faith will give a higher "civilization" of sorts to those that endure. What I wonder about is why humans think there should be…more

So what do you want to do tomorrow?

Dr. Loeb,
Your junk food analogy is precise in a way that goes deeper than metaphor. The concern isn’t merely that AI can spread misinformation faster — it’s that sufficiently capable AI can optimize misinformation for palatability, targeting the reward circuits of individual consumers better than any human influencer…more

Another important thing to remember regarding the deficit of transients in the Earth's umbra at 42,000 km: Palomar Observatory observed always at nighttime, under the blanket of the atmosphere. Primary cosmic rays striking the upper atmosphere create secondary cascades that scatter far too much to preserve any…more

Dear Avi, I very much enjoyed reading your text. I appreciate the respectful critique and the ideas you bring to the discussion. I would just like to point out that neither the deficit in the Earth's shadow at 42,000 km altitude nor Cann's anticorrelation with the geomagnetic storm index Kp can be explained by the…more

I love your blog, but I couldn't disagree more with your premise or conclusion here! Firstly, as someone who is surrounded by many friends who are kind, fun, intelligent people who nevertheless share few interests with me, I have spent much of my life lonely on an existential level. My interactions with what I call…more

No, cannot. Atomic bomb explosion isnt a stable plasma. No plasma confinement no chain reaction. I read it in your last article "where is 3i/atlas now" and i go uhh? Really?? And i kept it for yourself. 😆🤣

"Can an Atomic Explosion Ignite a Chain Reaction of Deuterium in 3I/ATLAS?"

Nononono. The reached temperature itself is ONLY ignition useful to starting the nuclear reaction, but then all shattared in a few secs because no confinement. If there is confinement (long enough for temperature to withstand), ionize particle starts to form plasma, electro and magnetic fields formed. The plasma…more

Hi Avi. A jewish woman once told me why the Istraelites wandered in the desert for forty yearsl She said "Even back then men were too stuborn to simply stop and ask directions." Now you know! Carl
