The good thing about Abraham Loeb's speculations about the 3I/Atlas.

Obviously all comets have peculiarities, all comets have something special, all comets have some anomaly, there is no object in the cosmos that is the same as another, but certainly this new interstellar object is turning out to have many anomalies, not as many as Abraham Loeb says, it does have them, but not in the sense that Abraham Loeb is saying.


You already know that he speculates with the idea that it could be a spaceship, In fact, initially I speculated with the idea that it could be a spaceship that comes to exterminate humanity in a “dark forest” style, that was one of the initial speculations.


Scientists are open to everything, there is no scientist in the world who does not think that there could be not only life, but a technological civilization somewhere in the universe, the debate is how, how possible is that, we may be the only one with a technological civilization in the galaxy, in ours, or there may be more, there is the question, there is the debate, but at the moment it is not coming for us.


Abraham Loeb already said it, that this interstellar object has been traveling through the solar system, because the solar system has a good size, it has been in our solar system for 6,000 years, now we are detecting it because it enters the zone of the planets, but it entered through the Oort cloud 6,000 years ago, so it is not coming for us, let other things come, we will see, for now I am not going to advance that until we have facts.




Obviously Abraham Loeb speculates, which is not bad, but he did not say it affirmatively, nor categorically, nor confirming that all this is going to happen. He said it as a speculation or didactic exercise, and he dedicated several articles to the topic of the dark forest and to that, Abraham Loeb plays on another level, he is not one of those TikTok charlatans, he is a scientist from Harvard University and has a lot of studies and performs logical calculations.


It's a bit fanciful when it comes to exposing speculations, okay? Yes, but it also opens debates and as I have mentioned in other publications it is serving, on the one hand, to get people interested in astronomy topics that perhaps they would not be interested in in their entire life and begin to discover this world, and on the other hand it opens the debate of what is going to happen when we really contact an extraterrestrial civilization.


Because we have also been trying to do the above for years, for decades messages have been sent into space in order to try for someone to capture them, such as the famous Arecibo message, and we have also been trying for a long time to receive or capture radio messages, even if they are fossils, of these messages that were perhaps broadcast thousands of years ago, but that are roaming around the universe and to try to capture some of them, which is the mission of SETI.


In summary, Abraham Loeb was speculating with those possibilities, he did not say it categorically, obviously he could not sign because for that you need evidence, but he speculated with that story and I affirm that it is not wrong to speculate, what is wrong is to affirm things for which you have no evidence, he was simply speculating on this matter and said that we had to open the debate on that topic.
