    The Head of Astronomy at Harvard asserting that Oumuamua was a non-human solar sail. Great read that reflects on both (1) the lack of academic freedom with which most scientists work (2) further evidence that we haven't passed the Great Filter yethttps://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-if-true-this-could-be-one-of-the-greatest-discoveries-in-human-history-1.6828318 …

        Solar sails will make deep space exploration possible. They solve a core constraint (propellant) and we're developing them now. "A solar sail is a spaceship that uses the sun for propulsion. It is propelled ahead by reflecting light." More from @NASA https://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/roboticexplorers/solar_sails.html …

        Read Avi Loeb's original publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, where he raises the question about Oumuamua's acceleration. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.11490.pdf …

        And then read (or don't read 😳) Rendezvous with Rama - a science fiction story that recalls the encounter with Oumuamua - to find out what's in store for us next.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_with_Rama …

        The great filter is not a natural law it's just an open ended hypothesis based on conjecture. Also just because one person thinks it's a solar sail doesn't mean it is. There's s microbiologist who thinks the red rain in India was alien microbes, that doesn't mean it's true.

        I didn’t read the article as someone who was asserting a definite on anything; more asserting that non-definites should be more openly discussed & investigated. For someone who doesn’t know anything about the field, it appeared a healthy, helpful viewpoint to me. Do you disagree?

        "Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves" -Carl Sagan He can say whatever he wants but being told "there's not enough evidence to support that assertion" is not censorship. It could be a spaceship sure, but all the evidence points to it being a rock.
