[0:05:21 - 0:05:27] We keep focusing on what happens on
Earth, and we might have a neighbor that is far more advanced than we are.
[0:14:49 - 0:14:59] They used the model in which the
earth is at the center. Copernicus was playing around with the data and realized that he can actually forecast much better the timing of Easter.
[0:15:09 - 0:15:17] They said, no, they said, thank you so much, we will use it, but we still believe that the
earth, this is just a theoretical model.
[0:15:59 - 0:16:09] An amateur astronomer spotted an asteroid that is passing close to
Earth, he called it a near
Earth object.
[0:16:09 - 0:16:21] And within after the report was classified as an asteroid, a near
Earth object, a few astronomers noticed that it has exactly the orbital parameters of the Tesla roadster car.
[0:19:28 - 0:19:35] Most people, more than 100 billion people on
Earth so far and only 8 billion are alive right now.
[0:20:31 - 0:20:48] So in June 2023, I went to the Pacific Ocean to search for the materials left over from an interstellar meteor, an object that collided with
Earth roughly half a meter in size back on January 8, 2014.
[0:23:22 - 0:23:34] All we have seen before were rocks from the solar system from the main asteroid belt or from comets that collide with
Earth.
[0:34:14 - 0:34:35] And so I wrote a paper a month and a half ago, just explaining that a meter sized telescope in space could detect every five hours a new object that comes within the orbit of mercury around the sun, which is three times closer to the sun than the
Earth is.
[0:35:57 - 0:36:16] So if you see oxygen, you see water, methane molecules that are indicative of life here on
earth, we will have some clues that maybe primitive life microbes exist on those planets, but I say we should hedge our bets.
[0:36:16 - 0:36:45] Yeah, we don't know if only microbes are out there that might be intelligent life in which case it might be even easier to figure out fears or you know, if we were to discover a gadget in the vicinity of
Earth or or even just space trash, you know, we are producing a, you can imagine space trash being removed from planetary systems by the evolution of the star when the star becomes very bright or
[0:43:21 - 0:43:29] They're funding the search for microbes with the argument that microbes appeared on
Earth very early.
[0:44:06 - 0:44:22] So even though it might be rare than microbes, if you're finding it and interpreting it might be easier, just because it may be targeting, let's say, the
Earth, or even if it's just paste trash.
[0:57:31 - 0:57:44] I mean, so when we launch spacecraft, we are just responding to the standard gravity that, you know, the
Earth, the Sun, planets, any other body generates.
[0:57:49 - 0:58:01] Gravity is attractive, you know, that was the idea of Newton, you know, he saw the apple falling and realized, oh yeah, there is a gravitational force pulling it towards the
Earth.
[0:59:54 - 1:00:04] But no, something here, I mean, the two of them, I mean, if you were to sit on, let's say you are sitting on the
earth and next to
earth, you put a negative mass
earth.
[1:05:09 - 1:05:23] It didn't help him. It was 20, you know, two decades after humans landed on the moon. So, you know, at that point was ridiculous for them to insist that the
earth is at the center of the universe.
[1:21:12 - 1:21:18] They could see that they're moving, meaning that not everything in the sky is moving around the
Earth.
[1:25:52 - 1:25:58] followed the same rules as recombination of electrons in protons in the laboratory is on
Earth.
[1:29:24 - 1:29:31] We don't want to hear about it, because to maintain our political power, we need to tell our believers that the
Earth is at the center.
[1:29:31 - 1:29:37] That was the dogma, because if
Earth is at the center, then God pays attention to us all the time.
[1:36:04 - 1:36:23] That comes very close to
earth would be detected by LIGO. But that's a very massive object, a hundred thousand tons. And it needs also to move close to the speed of light. Because if it moves much slower, then it doesn't match the frequency of signal to which LIGO is sensitive.
[1:38:57 - 1:39:09] Yeah, it's not just looking for electromagnetic signals or looking for primitive life or looking for, you know, you could also search for objects near
Earth.
[1:54:48 - 1:55:01] If you just build a spacecraft, which is the best we can imagine, you know, that's the biggest wish of the wealthiest person on
Earth is to build a spacecraft that will take humans to Mars.
[1:58:31 - 1:58:42] And in difference from him, I will discuss very favorably the possibility that we might have objects near
Earth that came from another civilization.
