So it farted it’s way out of our solar system? Got it.
-
If that was the case then why didn't those same water vapour jets slow down the comet during approach of the sun?
-
scientific paper appears presenting a possible theory Time: MYSTERY SOLVED
-
800 Meters is over 8 football fields in length. So in scientific conclusion, though the theory is decent, how am I to believe this person has it all figured out when he doesn't even know the correct size of the object? So, I assume his theory is as reliable as the size description.

comet neowise changed course several times on its approach to the sun, and its departure was clearly under power and acceleration, the population was not told about neowise until just hours before its departure was visible.

You didn't have to force a man at gunpoint to do this read. Honestly this narrator sounds like he is on the verge of tears
-
Plausible. I’m not a scientist nor an astronomer. But it doesn’t explain the multiple satellite failures when it entered our solar system. And also food for thought, why haven’t we actually seen photographs of this “comet”. Just digital reconstructions of it…
-
Leave it to Time Magazine to declare "The Science (TM) is settled!"
-
Oh gee, Time says the mystery's solved, so I guess that's that...
-
Science is anything but solid
-
That's a total BS conclusion!!! It would be hard to speed up a needle shaped object like that!! The thing is tumbling end over end!! C'MON!!! What would happen is it would speed up the spin, not propell it forwards
-
Pentagon just released report where they said omuaomua could Be Alien spaceship..

Oumuamua is apparently red in color indicating an iron component. Certain frequencies of light and charge particles cause current flow in different metals. With current comes a flux field. Magnetic field from the sun(or other planets/stars/bodies) and or charged particles can then interact with this flux field to impart an accelleration. Certain metals can also become magnetized in which case they will be influenced by magnetic fields of other bodies i.e. planets and stars. This would likely be the case with countless other objects in the universe and could explain some other things such as the galaxy spin and eliminate the need for dark matter.

I'm not going to definitively say whether it was of extraterrestrial origin or not. However, throughout history, the field of science has sometimes attempted to portray events in a way that aligns with their perspective rather than what was actually presented. It's possible to manipulate information to cater to closed-minded viewpoints that resist acknowledging the truth as it is. This is a significant factor behind why new information consistently challenges established facts, resetting our understanding of what once was accepted as truth. As we acquire new facts, the trail of discovery continues indefinitely.
-
It’s also surprisingly hard to get a lot of hard facts about it’s journey after we discovered it.
-
I don't think we should jump to conculsions where space and its mysteries are concerned, but I think that "Extraterrestrial" has become such a dirty word in the science community that ET could land a space craft in Time Square, hobble out of it and raise a glowing finger and scientists would say something like, "We're pretty confident that's just a rare species of featherless penguin, which has glided in on a floating iceberg."
-
These aliens were going to stop by Earth, build a few pyramids, and leave just like their ancestors.
-
If the government or "science" says it's one thing it's definitely something else.
-
They proofed nothing. Just watch the reaction of Avi Loeb in a recent podcast with Brian Keating.

I will always believe the opposite of what the media tells me
