Most of the questions were about intelligent life. I stood in line waiting for my turn at the microphone. My question was simple, do you believe there is intelligent life in our known universe? He was surprised it took so long for someone to ask this question, so he turned it on me and asked me to answer it first. My answer was this: there are 100 billion Stars in our galaxy, and there are over 2 trillion galaxies in the known universe. There are approximately 6 billion earth-like planets that we know of in just our galaxy alone.. Which means there are a countless number of earth-like planets in the known universe. To shorten it up, I stated that it is mathematically impossible that we are the only planet and not just our known universe, but right here in the Milky Way galaxy where life took hold. And even if less than 1% of those planets where life took hold has intelligent life, then there are trillions and trillions of planets with intelligent life in the known universe. And how many of those civilizations are a thousand years more advanced than us? Or 50,000 years? Or a million years? Or even a billion years? So of course I believe that there is intelligent life that has the capability of cruising by Earth to check out what's going on with the youngsters... Let's just say he agreed...
1. Entropy 2. Vastness 3. The dynamics of space as we know it will be similar to those advanced populations across the sky, they won't make it here. 4. God stays one step ahead of us at all times. Plank length? I don't think so...😂 So long, earthling!

Karen C if it was an alien and they’ve discovered a way to travel through space and time, then don’t be frightened, if they’re going to attack you’ll be dead before you realize.
Stoney It is not about an alien attack or someshit like that. It is about some weird astrological object which can hit earth and destroy the life for good. I mean i dont know if we can answer such a thing even if we know it is coming but still not knowing is more fearsome.

Thoughts are nothing but intelligent beings who can communicate with the human subconscious. When you start to hear thoughts those are aliens from another dimension communicating with you. Choose your speaker wisely. Because these entities speak through you whenever you give them the authority to talk. Sometimes these beings are so powerful that they over take your mind without you even knowing and you become a fluent vessel for them to use so that they can communicate with other subconscious, and create different realities by using you. Every time a thought arises in your mind you are being contacted by extraterrestrial entities who travel using energy that all living and non living things can feel. Yes non living things feel to. A fragile glass object can feel the force of you throwing it on the ground because it breaks. Watch those aliens y’all lol some are here to stay. Some are not.
This once again shows how we are part of this big Universe we all live in. If just everyone of us was aware of this fact there would be less war, hunger, pain, suffering, misery. Thank you for sharing this beautiful observation Karen.
see if this astronomer was my astronomy teacher, i wouldn’t have dropped out of it at all because she just refascinated me about our solar system and I hope she gets the things she wants so that we’re ready for another solar visitor and she can be satisfied to learn about the things she loves this karen deserves the world
Your astronomy teacher probably had to teach his beloved subject to multiple classes everyday for years. That has to get tiresome after a while and then people lose interest of it.
Not all topics in astronomy books are stories like this! It sounds good to listen bcoz she’s explaining it in regular people terms. But if you’re taking this as a course during a semester, then you’ll be dealing with lot of complex math, physics etc involved in each and every single topic. So no professor in any university would tell you stories like this if they really want you to focus on the actual concepts. Space is complicated and hard. It is supposed to be confusing and to some extent…boring..
i worked on the software pipeline for the pan-starrs data for a couple years. i just stumbled upon this talk and it's making me literally tear up....i am so proud to have contributed to this and as a CS/database nerd (not an astronomy nerd) it's great to hear this stuff explained in such cogent and interesting way. thank you, dr meech.
Debunking of Oumuamua's sensational shape - Search for a video called "Oumuamua's Rubbish Shape Estimate". Estimating shapes of asteroids/ comets by studying a tiny flickering dot of light in space (lightcurve analysis) is pseudoscience. The video explains why.
Sue Musicface Obviously we didn’t do crap. That Looks Like a powered down spaceship from somewhere else.. Yep it just stumbled into our solar system then leaves the same way it came in.. The sun couldn’t catch it in its Gravity like 12 other planets! Yes I am counting Pluto and the other little ones..
Sue I read your comment How awesome and exiting To be able to text a person that made a difference Congratulations on making a difference I admired and respect you Besitos😘
Interstellar spaceship completes its epic journey, arriving at that distant blue planet. Spaceship taps into electromagnetic emissions coming from such planet, accesses the internet. Spaceship goes "nope", pretends to be comet, gets the heck out of the solar system.
Notice the amount of emotions she carries while delivering her presentation..Nostalgia of being obsessed with Mysterious objects making her belief in Life beyond our solar system.
Jesus Reyes that’s inconsequential. We have no way of knowing how many times objects have come through from outside our solar system. So for all intents and purposes, this was the first time.
Reminds me of the novel Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke Set in the 2130s, the story involves a 50-by-20-kilometre (31 by 12 mi) cylindrical alien starship that enters the Solar System. The story is told from the point of view of a group of human explorers who intercept the ship in an attempt to unlock its mysteries. The novel won both the Hugo and Nebula awards
Two things we get attracted to in this video. Karen J. Meech's cristal clear speech and Omuamua !! All pictures are only artists' impressions?! ..Our voyager also will visit other solar systems one day..
Jack Long really weird, the sun’s gravitational energy wouldn’t produce such a massive acceleration and the change in direction. Almost as if it just had to go by earth and return from wherever it came
They admitted the existence of UFO's 16 years after getting the footage. Imagine how much they now know and will tell us in another 16 years. I feel as if they want us to get used to the fact that we are not alone.
*Earth sees a passing rock* Earth: Wtf is that? Do we say hello? Is it metal? Hello? Why is it spinning? Do we poke it with a spacecraft? Should we catch it? Is it an alien? Did that thing come from another solar system? Is it dangerous? Should we blow it up? So many questions about a rock. *Rock leaves Earth: .......
Αλέξης Ανδρικόπουλος i disagree with what you preposed they made objects "gods" not because of there lack of knowledge but with the observed changes to there world so no this wouldn't be even considered
EZCAPE Records true they were very intelligent cause as far as we know they didnt let technology turn them lazy or zombies probably cause they knew better. Probably cause they followed Gods laws instead of making there own
It’s actually really scary that we have all this amazing technology and these amazing men and women that are obviously 1000 times smarter than I. Who did this get so close to earth with out anyone realizing it. What are we doing now so we will know next time ( if there is a next time )
There are not that many telescopes good enough to see small objects like this until they are very close, and they’re usually being used for something other than looking for small objects coming towards earth. It’d be nice if there were though.
Your brain cannot put into perspective how massive space is, seeing an object that small is like trying to locate a single grain of sand in the Pacific ocean. All the telescopes in the world cannot see everything out there, literally impossible with the tech we have available now
@@grownman1017 our own scientists think using a space rock will cost a lot of cash and great effort but will end up saving billions in the long run, the rock will travel, pick up data which will be retrieved and so on. They still have a long way to go but it's an idea and that's how things begin.
Humanity is so lonely, as a species, that we get excited about a flying, glowing rock visiting our solar system. Edit: Hey you little turds, thanks for the likes; however, it turns out there is more to this discovery than this Ted Talk dives into. This discovery has boggled numerous, notorious astrophysicists. We all wish for it to have something to do with aliens, but most likely it does not. So, henceforth, I take back my initial comment and after further research, this discovery has intrigued me.
Ashton Allen I wouldn’t say lonely. I think we were more excited about it being a first object from the outer outer space we have observed. Humanity as a whole is to worried about our little individual bubble. Only those who have time to think deeply quiet often would think we are lonely. That’s a good thing but humanity as a whole could care less.
I named my daughter Lyra after my favorite books, His Dark Materials, and Contact. Both made into movies/pending TV show on HBO. Now I see this..... She is only two. The Lyrid meteor shower occurred a few weeks after her birth. I'm literally going through that emotional chill she is talking about. I even told the universe if you ever give me a child I hope it's when I'm 25, not too young, not too old. I had her on her due date, and she was conceived when I was 25. She is literally a Star Child. Ever since her birth there have been the most amazing occurrences in the Cosmos. She was born into the greatest time of science and I couldn't be happier. I hope she is just as passionate about it as her momma. Sorry it's long if anyone reads this. I also pronounce her name like in the movie, The Golden Compass, the first book of His Dark Materials. Books riddled with alternate realities, space dust, dark matter, which has a consciousness and Lyra can actually communicate with them.
Jade Gardner beautiful story! Lyra is a truly special just like all creatures given the gift of life! You got to see first hand the power of the human spirit, and now that you have birthed a universe inside a human body that you named to be Lyra, please always remember she now has her own life and her own dream to create and live within and has the gift from free will to do so. She is not a character within a story book fantasy to be molded into, don’t let the imagination of who you want her to be and your obsession with a fairy tale to destroy your bond with her!
Dr Avi Loeb ( a notable Harvard Professor and astrophysicist who has been teaching astronomy at Harvard since 1993, and chaired its astronomy department ) suggested that it is a " light sail " , created by an alien civilization and being pushed by the solar winds or reflected starlight..... this large pancake-like object the size of a football field, didn’t have any of the traditional markings of an asteroid or comet and is being pushed by a force, that leaves no cometary tail....
Why does Havard have the lowest written language skills of any university of the planet? ATRUTH they are not equiped to articulate observable presence as many are. Is this why Harvard educations get better jobs, get to play with higher more influential techno;ogies. If this person acceptd communications from those of us less influential, and that it is against the very laws that govern and permit operations in space. To fire a nuclear missle at such a benevolent and molevslent people. Did you know recently a 30 metre circumfrance spacecrft I saw in the clutches of a military transport helicopter, thier people I was told were 80000 aboard and mankinfd thinks samll races Dont exist or have space flight or thy were not arround to see and observe the actual Jesus Christ speak to his people and not as his church, he called it his ministry and teaching people they arAI is in denial of benificial fathers e more than they were being told. Is the space [rpgram trying to murder every eyewitness civilization because their own l story is rhiers, possibly knew our earlier beginings. Maybe mankind should stop postulating abusing CERN and every eomputer on the planet. Each and every simple person could and would listen to their story from thier perspective. About a week later I saw the same ship in a hanger at their area 51, some technician trying to pry it open wearing a protective suit. I was told over 6000 such spacecraft have been abducted by mankinds military...... Maybe thats why the MIB movie suggesting they dont do exactly that area 51 does. They maybe tasked to prevent understanding, like the 5 second delay on all broadcasts to prevent stories from being told. I am not jiggy with it or dancing to Will Smiths cool propoganda!
Since you're passionate about Oumuamua, I recommend you check out the book (or audiobook) published last month called Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth. Written by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, who believes this object is artificial.
Zom Bee Nature really? How could you not understand how people don't understand your use of words that aren't part of the English lexicon. Can you please define gossipy. Because your use of it here doesn't fit it's usually accepted definition.
Hmmm not really... There are very "smart" people with very intelligent and funny jokes. She is just lame and a geek. She must be around her 40s but looks as if she was 50 something. I know my scientists.
@@brad4231 no I was just stating an example. It's easier to talk that way rather than writing this: "I disagree, I believe Neil Degrasse Tyson is a firm representation as to why this statement isn't true." I have better things to do with my time. Rather than putting that much effort into every online comment I post. I apologise that it wasn't up to your standards.
Kind of astronomy topic is what I love a lot, could TED invite more astronomers or researchers to talk about kind of issue like this? It’s really interesting
I love to see the story of Dr. Wudi. He observed timelapse of all Universes. He holds a very different view. He has an unusual Theory of Everything. He is a scientist, biotechnologist and physician. He has been observing in silence since 2017. If you make a video about him, I think it would be a truly fascinating story.
Someone else commented she is wearing a g-shock watch on her left hand. I looked them up, and they’re definitely utilitarian watches for someone like her. Definitely not for its looks. I’m guessing the one on her right is a Fitbit, like others mentioned. I’m always jealous of astronomers, their jobs, and their intellect.
@@KajunMs39 - I wondered about that, if it's like a heart monitor or something. She sounds so out of breath throughout. But she may be excited or nervous.
'Oumuamua is a made-up term because there is no Hawaiian word for scout; and it definitely does not mean "messenger from the distant past reaching out to us". The latter meaning is absurd and laughable. Whoever said that, trolled the world. I know this because I'm Polynesian and can speak/write/understand different Polynesian languages, including Hawaiian. "'ou" means different things, but in this case it either means "me" or "go". "muamua" means first. So, "'oumuamua" literally translated means "me first" or "go first". 'Oumuamua captures the concept of a scout, so I can say that's an appropriate translation for scout, BUT by no stretch of the imagination can it seriously be translated to: "messenger from the distant past reaching out to us". lol
"We firmly believe, its likely to be a leftover archaeological remnant from a process of a birth of another planetary system". Funny to start a sentence by firmly believe, followed by "likely to be". Still a great speech!
Ignas Tauras, 'We firmly believe' that Treason was committed against the USA during the 2016 presidential election. A meeting of Russian Government assets left a message at the meeting that Cadet Bone-Spurs need only ask for Vladimir's help in public. "Russia... if you're listening", 1 to 3 hours later the DNC servers were hacked by Russia. The coward who would sell out his country? Donnie Tiny Hands is the one person whom that is most 'likely to be'. See? It is not all that hard to fit those together. Peace,
Avi Loeb talks about its accelerating motion as it moves away from the sun and how it is really an extraordinary motion since it does not have a propulsion feature as a comet does.
A few million years later, some frogs in a distant 0planet will dust off their differential equations wondering if our Voyager is a comet or a sign of intelligent life somewhere
Harvard astronomer Avi Lieb wrote a book about the possibility of this being artificial in his book Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth. Definitely worth a read!
@@captur69 it accelerated its course and the rotation it exhibited is uncommon for any other natural asteroid or comet,in addition there was no trail,so i think it maybe a remenant from a different civilisation which perhaps is like a space probe of the aliens using an unknown source of energy,very interesting to learn about,you dont have to bring god,evolution and your adam and eve fairy tale into every aspect of life.
I love her being funny. Gives a sense of the coffee pot chat, light hearted speculation, the "but what if?"! Dollars to donuts someone wanted it to be the Enterprise saucer.
The Enterprise saucer section hurled into the past while trying to save a crew member. A rescue mission that went horribly wrong and many thousands of years later returned to a pre-warp Earth. The recorded crew warning had gone silent eons ago. The catastrophe will again be repeated. This time the enterprise will have some record of the saucer section reaching Earth knowing there was no radio message, and they will be able to make adjustments so that their radio recording will be live and active to help avert the catastrophe and save the crew members. Yay! Happy ending.
@Red Works First of all Buzz Lightyear, that's not remotely close to the appropriate usage of semicolons or grammar at all; secondly, "space junk" is an issue, things we throw up... come back down.
It was a space craft seeking elements for there way of life. They were 5th density entities flying through space in a craft disguised as a comet. The ship was asked to wave off, and not by the local earthlings.
I read sonewhere where an astronomist wrote an essay where he purposed that in fact it wasnt omuamua passing our solar system but instead it was our system passing by it and that omuamua is a still object. Fascinating stuff!! How he explained the movements and wobble motion im not sure but its crazy
I heard that the object changed directions unexpectly which is the biggest thing that happened here and she didn't mention it. Also she was going to comment on what would happen if it actually hit the earth knowing the velocity and mass of the object , but she ended her talk with out concluding. It seems her breathing got a bit laboured, maybe excitement or stage nerves.
Because natural forces can, and do, change the path and speed of celestial objects. Comets can change speed and direction either from the gravitational forces of another body, or because of gases bursting through the surface of the nucleus. This is not unusual and certainly not the most unusual thing about it.
@@mlgfrog2470 The universe is more mysterious than we can suppose! Read that twice. At the end of the day we are just highly intelligent apes, so the best we can do is learn thru having evidence for our claims. The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us, we must make sense of it in the best way we know how.
Ouamuamua was shaped the way that it is shaped so that space rocks would have a very narrow area that they could strike because it's a defensive design. It also wasn't spinning, it is designed to keep some type of artificial gravity inside it.
Why did they fire a nuclear missile at their host world!! WE call their spacecraft? Would you say that 100 percent probability that was a hostile act upon them as I? The lack of conversation about that declared mission concerns me as I hope you also? Your thoughts either way or any way would be appreciated.
Heres something that might tickle your fancy lol. It might have been rotating in every way possible, because it was acting like a gyroscope, providing balance while traveling at high speed, and it used our sun's gravity to slingshot towards it's destination, or maybe even to another star to slingshot again for more speed.
Can you explain how possible life elsewhere in the massive massive Universe is supposed to be fairytales? You're not arrogant enough to think that we are alone, are you..?
Earth will be HERE, after YESHUA's return a THOUSAND YEARS, in peace, but will you or THEM, highly unlikely THEY will still be here, but you may have a better chance at a second life made new, when THEY see only The Second Death, from which, there should be time no longer.
Finally something interesting about science! I want more science, technology and medicine. I do like philosophy, but you can only hear so many people talking about the meaning of life once a week
For myself this event reminds me of the difference between science and political governance & indicates that humanity will not survive for Oumuamua scales of time. Science can look backwards into time past and forwards into the future in ranges of billions of years. However, governments and politicians are generally unable to think and plan outside the time period of their expected term of office, which is commonly 4/5 years. Their decision making is likely influenced by their own personal desires for financial gain or political advantage. This could be the explanation why collectively they are totally unable to plan & implement long term plans for the future survival of ecosystems, economies and life on Earth in an era of quickly escalating climate change disruption caused by ever increasing greenhouse gas emissions. If collective humanity is apparently totally incapable of making plans for near term Earth habitat survival, then there is not much chance it can work together to ensure habitat preservation for millennia ahead. It is proving totally unsatisfactory that the length of our survival is determined by short-term politicians who don't have the proper understanding to heed the scientific advice on how we should be mitigating climate change right now.
I don't know if you are referring to time-travel in your first sentence, but if you are, then actually we can only really see the past, as any future you experience is only a possible future, always subject to change. Change is the only constant.
@@thekeysman6760 Yeah by looking forward I meant modelling the future. I don't believe that we can time travel because I surmise that each galactic existence is locked into its own space time bubble. I think that maybe some special observers outside such a bubble could see within the past present, & future simultaneously laid out as a moving linear existence. Thus I think such special observers might be able to move things backwards & forwards therein but the bubble occupants would have no markers for such change to recognise any difference.
Mike Harrington Yeah stuff like tame travel is unlikely, we know the going into the past is impossible as people haven't been seen having futuristic tech. But the future I'd see as likely because we won't know if people time travel in the future yet.
@Mike Harrington Ah. On re-reading your comment I'm not sure why I misunderstood 'Science' to mean time-travel! ha. Sorry. And all I meant was we can remember our past, and 'travel' within. I dig your take on all time being simultaneous from a certain vantage point.
Yes we could think -time travel, or government incapabilities, etc., but what about if that was the exact opposite of it. What if the people who are in office are run by the "Government" -the more advanced ones? How sure are we all that our species aren't kept stupid dumb and shallow as how we all are now. Amazed at a big log asteroid. What about technology and government you say? Take note, wobbly movement. Spinning vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, and two more movements on opposite axes that I won't even bother looking up the terms on. Advanced-space-debris-warding-off technology or our space neighbors letting us observe and experience higher dimensions rather than just 4D.

A fragile glass object can feel the force of you throwing it on the ground because it breaks. Watch those aliens y’all lol some are here to stay. Some are not.

Hi
And it’s coming back, even closer, 4 years from now.
see if this astronomer was my astronomy teacher, i wouldn’t have dropped out of it at all because she just refascinated me about our solar system and I hope she gets the things she wants so that we’re ready for another solar visitor and she can be satisfied to learn about the things she loves this karen deserves the world
Why did they fire a nuclear missile at them! My contact told me they communicated in PEACE?
Your astronomy teacher probably had to teach his beloved subject to multiple classes everyday for years. That has to get tiresome after a while and then people lose interest of it.
Not the "it was the teachers fault"
Mmmm you’re probably just lazy. See I put time into my class and passed it with an A. You need to study more
Not all topics in astronomy books are stories like this! It sounds good to listen bcoz she’s explaining it in regular people terms. But if you’re taking this as a course during a semester, then you’ll be dealing with lot of complex math, physics etc involved in each and every single topic. So no professor in any university would tell you stories like this if they really want you to focus on the actual concepts. Space is complicated and hard. It is supposed to be confusing and to some extent…boring..

Aliens: "Of course you don't..."

Debunking of Oumuamua's sensational shape -
Search for a video called "Oumuamua's Rubbish Shape Estimate".
Estimating shapes of asteroids/ comets by studying a tiny flickering dot of light in space (lightcurve analysis) is pseudoscience. The video explains why.

Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke
Set in the 2130s, the story involves a 50-by-20-kilometre (31 by 12 mi) cylindrical alien starship that enters the Solar System. The story is told from the point of view of a group of human explorers who intercept the ship in an attempt to unlock its mysteries. The novel won both the Hugo and Nebula awards

There are not that many telescopes good enough to see small objects like this until they are very close, and they’re usually being used for something other than looking for small objects coming towards earth. It’d be nice if there were though.

Humanity is so lonely, as a species, that we get excited about a flying, glowing rock visiting our solar system.
Edit: Hey you little turds, thanks for the likes; however, it turns out there is more to this discovery than this Ted Talk dives into. This discovery has boggled numerous, notorious astrophysicists. We all wish for it to have something to do with aliens, but most likely it does not. So, henceforth, I take back my initial comment and after further research, this discovery has intrigued me.
Ashton Allen beware with those edges boy, don't cut yourself
Interesting observation, and I mean that seriously.
and why not
Ashton Allen I wouldn’t say lonely. I think we were more excited about it being a first object from the outer outer space we have observed.
Humanity as a whole is to worried about our little individual bubble.
Only those who have time to think deeply quiet often would think we are lonely.
That’s a good thing but humanity as a whole could care less.

I named my daughter Lyra after my favorite books, His Dark Materials, and Contact. Both made into movies/pending TV show on HBO. Now I see this..... She is only two. The Lyrid meteor shower occurred a few weeks after her birth. I'm literally going through that emotional chill she is talking about. I even told the universe if you ever give me a child I hope it's when I'm 25, not too young, not too old. I had her on her due date, and she was conceived when I was 25. She is literally a Star Child. Ever since her birth there have been the most amazing occurrences in the Cosmos. She was born into the greatest time of science and I couldn't be happier. I hope she is just as passionate about it as her momma. Sorry it's long if anyone reads this. I also pronounce her name like in the movie, The Golden Compass, the first book of His Dark Materials. Books riddled with alternate realities, space dust, dark matter, which has a consciousness and Lyra can actually communicate with them.
Jade Gardner beautiful story! Lyra is a truly special just like all creatures given the gift of life! You got to see first hand the power of the human spirit, and now that you have birthed a universe inside a human body that you named to be Lyra, please always remember she now has her own life and her own dream to create and live within and has the gift from free will to do so. She is not a character within a story book fantasy to be molded into, don’t let the imagination of who you want her to be and your obsession with a fairy tale to destroy your bond with her!
You humans think all about yourselves, year 2031 will be the year everything changes
Dr Avi Loeb ( a notable Harvard Professor and astrophysicist who has been teaching astronomy at Harvard since 1993, and chaired its astronomy department ) suggested that it is a " light sail " , created by an alien civilization and being pushed by the solar winds or reflected starlight..... this large pancake-like object the size of a football field, didn’t have any of the traditional markings of an asteroid or comet and is being pushed by a force, that leaves no cometary tail....
Yea we seen the podcast too bruh
@Jay The Producer I had not. I appreciate the explanation so I knew where to look.
He's lost all credibility
Yeah if we can't explain it it's always aliens. That's how science works.
Why does Havard have the lowest written language skills of any university of the planet? ATRUTH they are not equiped to articulate observable presence as many are. Is this why Harvard educations get better jobs, get to play with higher more influential techno;ogies. If this person acceptd communications from those of us less influential, and that it is against the very laws that govern and permit operations in space. To fire a nuclear missle at such a benevolent and molevslent people.

Maybe mankind should stop postulating abusing CERN and every eomputer on the planet. Each and every simple person could and would listen to their story from thier perspective.
About a week later I saw the same ship in a hanger at their area 51, some technician trying to pry it open wearing a protective suit. I was told over 6000 such spacecraft have been abducted by mankinds military......
Maybe thats why the MIB movie suggesting they dont do exactly that area 51 does. They maybe tasked to prevent understanding, like the 5 second delay on all broadcasts to prevent stories from being told.

'Oumuamua is a made-up term because there is no Hawaiian word for scout; and it definitely does not mean "messenger from the distant past reaching out to us". The latter meaning is absurd and laughable. Whoever said that, trolled the world. I know this because I'm Polynesian and can speak/write/understand different Polynesian languages, including Hawaiian.
"'ou" means different things, but in this case it either means "me" or "go".
"muamua" means first.
So, "'oumuamua" literally translated means "me first" or "go first". 'Oumuamua captures the concept of a scout, so I can say that's an appropriate translation for scout, BUT by no stretch of the imagination can it seriously be translated to: "messenger from the distant past reaching out to us". lol

The recorded crew warning had gone silent eons ago. The catastrophe will again be repeated. This time the enterprise will have some record of the saucer section reaching Earth knowing there was no radio message, and they will be able to make adjustments so that their radio recording will be live and active to help avert the catastrophe and save the crew members.

Also she was going to comment on what would happen if it actually hit the earth knowing the velocity and mass of the object , but she ended her talk with out concluding. It seems her breathing got a bit laboured, maybe excitement or stage nerves.
Brian Rundle Yes it did change direction and speed...odd how she did not comment on that very big fact.
@@funnyfurfamily1513 this is why she stresses preparedness and a strategy for engagement with the vehicle
Because natural forces can, and do, change the path and speed of celestial objects. Comets can change speed and direction either from the gravitational forces of another body, or because of gases bursting through the surface of the nucleus. This is not unusual and certainly not the most unusual thing about it.

It also wasn't spinning, it is designed to keep some type of artificial gravity inside it.

Would you say that 100 percent probability that was a hostile act upon them as I?
The lack of conversation about that declared mission concerns me as I hope you also?
Your thoughts either way or any way would be appreciated.
@@scottbuchanan3461 they didnt fire a nuclear weapon at Oumuamua.

I like this ted talk. It tickles the side of my brain where i still believe in fairytales
Yes but at least you know when to shake yourself and awaken ...
Heres something that might tickle your fancy lol. It might have been rotating in every way possible, because it was acting like a gyroscope, providing balance while traveling at high speed, and it used our sun's gravity to slingshot towards it's destination, or maybe even to another star to slingshot again for more speed.
@@MachtPlays man that’s wild. Some high tech aliens slinging through the stars. Entirely possible. Crazy.
Space and extraterrestrial life ain't fairy tales tho ...
Can you explain how possible life elsewhere in the massive massive Universe is supposed to be fairytales? You're not arrogant enough to think that we are alone, are you..?
Thank you, Karen! Enjoyed hearing about your research!
Why did they fire a nuclear missile at this sentinel??
wow, that's amazing. thanks TED TALKS
"Oumuamua" comes...
*Sees TikTok*
*OK KIDS WE ARE IN THE WRONG SOLAR SYSTEM CLOSE YOUR EYES!*

That's funny!
Got off the wrong solar orbit at the last star system or something......... lol

Wrong turn lol
Dude trust me
Kal-El just missed the Earth!!
Earth will be HERE, after YESHUA's return a THOUSAND YEARS, in peace, but will you or THEM, highly unlikely THEY will still be here, but you may have a better chance at a second life made new, when THEY see only The Second Death, from which, there should be time no longer.

God is the truth. This is a lie.
Finally something interesting about science! I want more science, technology and medicine. I do like philosophy, but you can only hear so many people talking about the meaning of life once a week
Nice answer to her question!
I'm not sure why, but I almost got teary eyed when its name was explained
You got issues
Ikr? But for me I got a a very strange shiver. Shocked me to the core.
Too much soya?
Lol square
It's so lovely to hear such an intelligent women speak about science
For myself this event reminds me of the difference between science and political governance & indicates that humanity will not survive for Oumuamua scales of time. Science can look backwards into time past and forwards into the future in ranges of billions of years.
However, governments and politicians are generally unable to think and plan outside the time period of their expected term of office, which is commonly 4/5 years. Their decision making is likely influenced by their own personal desires for financial gain or political advantage. This could be the explanation why collectively they are totally unable to plan & implement long term plans for the future survival of ecosystems, economies and life on Earth in an era of quickly escalating climate change disruption caused by ever increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
If collective humanity is apparently totally incapable of making plans for near term Earth habitat survival, then there is not much chance it can work together to ensure habitat preservation for millennia ahead. It is proving totally unsatisfactory that the length of our survival is determined by short-term politicians who don't have the proper understanding to heed the scientific advice on how we should be mitigating climate change right now.
I don't know if you are referring to time-travel in your first sentence, but if you are, then actually we can only really see the past, as any future you experience is only a possible future, always subject to change. Change is the only constant.
@@thekeysman6760 Yeah by looking forward I meant modelling the future. I don't believe that we can time travel because I surmise that each galactic existence is locked into its own space time bubble. I think that maybe some special observers outside such a bubble could see within the past present, & future simultaneously laid out as a moving linear existence. Thus I think such special observers might be able to move things backwards & forwards therein but the bubble occupants would have no markers for such change to recognise any difference.
Mike Harrington Yeah stuff like tame travel is unlikely, we know the going into the past is impossible as people haven't been seen having futuristic tech. But the future I'd see as likely because we won't know if people time travel in the future yet.
@Mike Harrington Ah. On re-reading your comment I'm not sure why I misunderstood 'Science' to mean time-travel! ha. Sorry. And all I meant was we can remember our past, and 'travel' within. I dig your take on all time being simultaneous from a certain vantage point.
Yes we could think -time travel, or government incapabilities, etc., but what about if that was the exact opposite of it. What if the people who are in office are run by the "Government" -the more advanced ones? How sure are we all that our species aren't kept stupid dumb and shallow as how we all are now. Amazed at a big log asteroid. What about technology and government you say? Take note, wobbly movement. Spinning vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, and two more movements on opposite axes that I won't even bother looking up the terms on. Advanced-space-debris-warding-off technology or our space neighbors letting us observe and experience higher dimensions rather than just 4D.
MY DEAR KAREN!!!!YOUR XPOSITION WAS SO CLEAR CONCISE INTERESTING!!!!YOUR VOICE IS SOOTHING AND I COULD UNDERSTAND U PERFECTLY....THANK YOU X THIS XMAS GIFT.MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY.....KEEP HUMANS INFORMED OF MORE DATA....I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE ITS ARTIFICIAL BUT MY IMAGINATION SPEEDS....MERRY XMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR....🌈🌈💞💞✨🌟💫🌠
