Gee. How unfortunate that this object goes wizzing by and its not possible to definitively analyze its nature. Now if were to suddenly make sharp turns, reverse course and linger without moving, now that would be interesting. Otherwise just how comets travel and the trajectories they make during their long , unobserved jorneys or even their origin is simply not known. Would not be suprised to learn that this professor leads a neo pagan cult that worships Jupiter. That massive planet with its powerful gravitation force no doubt pulls in many comets to its suface before they get near earth. “All hail Jupiter” See how silly this all gets when vapid people desperately need “aliens” to give their lives some meaning.
You have posted two ad hominem attacks against an expert, yet have not offered a single scientific argument to refute him.
You come off as desperate and near panic at the thought that someone else believes that in the vastness of the universe other living beings may be found.
Curious.
From Prof. Avi Loeb:
“If we dare to wager that ‘Oumuamua was a piece of advanced extraterrestrial technology, we stand only to gain. Whether it prompts us to methodically search the universe for signs of life or to undertake more ambitious technological projects, placing an optimistic bet could have a transformative effect on our civilization,” he writes.
Nonsense. Of course, Professor Loeb stands to gain a great deal. Not so much the rest of us.
Resources spent on this prevent resources spent on something else.
Generally, technological research has been beneficial.
But how about the billions of dollars spent on non-sensical "research" such as what crop yeilds will be 50 years from now, assuming non-sensical predictions from unverified computer models?
That is not science. It is grubbing for grant money.
