Professor of leading astronomy at Harvard University recently published a new book, "Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth," in which he says that the high-speed traversal suspected asteroid stars detected in October 2017 do not look so simple, and the scientific community agrees that it is just an asteroid. However, there is a more crazy explanation that it may belong to the aircraft of an advanced alien civilization.
Professor Avi Loeb, 58, is the chair of Harvard's astronomy department. Recently published a new book, "Extraterrestrial Visitors: The First Signs of Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life", it is believed that the star "Oumuamua", which crossed the solar system at high speed in October 2017, may be a vehicle for advanced alien civilizations. "Omomo" means scout in native Hawaiian language, which means "Omuamua" or possibly the vanguard of an alien civilization.
Professor Ave Loeb, a Jewish-American, worked at Ivy League College for quite some time, co-working with British physicist Stephen Hawking on several topics. The professor said that Oumuamua moved very quickly, most likely from intelligent life from some other star system, and said that this should be recorded as the first interstellar invader visit. It has been observed that after entering the orbit of the solar system, "Oumuamua" should have been captured by gravity and difficult to escape, but it successfully accelerated out of gravity under the impetus of a mysterious force, deviating from the expected orbit after a lot of calculations.
If "Oumuamua" is likened to a comet, it does not emit gas and debris. Astronomers found that Oumuamua was extremely bright, which may be that his external structure is composed of a bright metal throughout. At the same time, "Oumuamua" also rolls in space in an irregular way. In order to understand "Oumuamua", many astronomers have proposed different insights, such as it is made of hydrogen ice, so there is no trace of movement, or it is decomposed into dust through technology that we have not mastered.
"Oumuamua" has a very peculiar shape, some people say that he is thin and long like a cigar, and some people say that he is flat and round like pancakes, but flat as a razor, what kind of technology can do this. Professor Loeb believes that "Oumuamua" is deliberately made into this shape, the largest area to obtain stellar radiation for propulsion power, the smallest area to reduce the probability of collision, he guessed that "Oumuamua" only gained the power to cross in after approaching the solar system, if so, it would be too careful to think about it.
He wrote in the book: "Oumuamua" is like a decoy, resting in the vast sea of stars, waiting to be captured by the star system. Avi Loeb's overly edgy remarks are very different from others and cannot be agreed with by others, but Professor Loeb disdains to be with them, and even more rejects the bullying culture of academia, arguing that truth is often in the hands of a few, just as Galileo suffered when he proposed that the earth was not the center of the universe.
Professor Avi Loeb also said that the idea that our civilization is "special" is very dangerous, in fact, we are not special, on the contrary, the outside world is so big that we cannot measure it, we just need to find them slowly.
