Small correction: the red stuff on Pluto is also made out of tholins which are organic compounds that often provide that color. A lot of the surface is nitrogen ice too, but it's not necessarily the main reason behind the "redness" of Pluto and similar objects.

I saw this in the 90s as a graduate student. Much of the spin you saw in the media for a particular scientific story was created in the University and then given to the News Network. We all should be more skeptical about popular science articles. Although, it's hard to see where the motive for spinning what appears to be a pure science topic, people don't realize the amount of money that is on the line. Popular Science articles kinda serve the same purpose as those advertisements for prescription drugs. Why would they show these to the general public? It's to influence the people that control the money.

Serve a few as a side on each plate with grilled meat, and a salad or hot vegetable - you'll see why i was so upset my smashed potato went missing.

In some ways this makes me feel better that we aren't yet a true space-faring civilization yet, so we didn't miss our one chance to intercept a Rama-like space probe. Great video, thank you!

As a scientist, I really appreciate the early section about scientific rigour. But I believe this social media process is the next phase of scientific communication with the public. In an ideal world, scientists making outlandish claims get the "story" into the public consciousness and then more grounded science communicators can join the conversation and explain the true story.

Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University] and his postdoc, Shmuel Bialy, submitted a paper exploring the possibility of Oumuamua being an artificial thin solar sail accelerated by solar radiation pressure, in an effort to help explain the object's comet-like non-gravitational acceleration..." I guess you used the word "conclusion", so yes - it was not a conclusion. It was "exploring the possibility", which is a step-up from "not rule out".

This is the reason I don’t blindly believe the government and other dimwits that tell us to “trust the experts and scientist”. It’s an annoying situation, for being sceptical towards what is being portrayed as the “truth” or scientific consensus in some matters, portrays you as a science denier. When in reality it has nothing to do with denying science, but rather that the conclusions presented isn’t convincing enough and in a lot of cases comes of as biased, or in many cases, they’ve decided on the outcome first, then looked for ways to make it happen.

It is true that one builds a reputation in science, good or bad. One case in particular that comes to mind is a historical article that was in the American Journal of physics some decades ago. I was doing research for my honours thesis, and for a break and some light reading looked at an article showing a picture of Sir Isaac Newton’s original paper on gravitation. I noticed that the formula was copied down wrong. Along come some of my peers eager to leave. I pointed the error out, and was met by skepticism. I allowed myself to be dragged off to lunch, promising myself that I would check it out later. Being busy with my studies, I never got back to it. A few years later, on student did point it out and cemented his reputation in the community. Apart from the lesson to “if you see something, say something,” it must be noted that those reviewing Newton’s paper didn’t take the time to follow through with the calculations. I point out that the equation was wrong, not the theory. Having had a tendency to do derivations myself, rather than just accepting them (the schrodinger equation, for example), I failed to follow through when it was most important for me to do so.

Nothing is certain in science, the word certainty is probably the most human word there is because it’s simply just a word to get a point across. I’m certain on something is the same as saying that I believe in something in my world, I hope that makes sense since we could be living in different realities according to that

If you want to use the bar of soap analogy, you have to recognize the peculiarities that apply: the eroding forces (in the case of soap, friction; in the case of this object hypothesis, cosmic rays) must act predominantly parallel to the plane of motion for that soap to become a smooth flat disk. Or, but another way, if you were to rub the soap around randomly in your hands, you might end up with something that is indeed more like the cigar shape (or any of an assortment of other shapes). I suspect that if the hypothesis about the cosmic ray erosion is accepted, then it has some association with the way planets orbit around are star in a disk-like configuration.

Exactly. The only “scientific fact” they are going on with is that the signature of nitrogen evaporation and the acceleration that it was exhibiting based on that momentum was similar. I don’t get these scientists when it comes to proving something they want it to be they do mental gymnastics to make it so. This is not science. So now they have found a sound scientific explanation that looks good in theory while it cannot prove one darn thing. While Avi another scientist did not do that, he said let all of the possibilities be there and analyze based on actual data. He never made any firm conclusions but hypothesized that it had a signature of being extraterrestrial, not that it was. And furthermore he stated let’s get real data when a next one similar to this one arrives and send a probe to acquire the data then analyze it. This whole thing is nonsensical.

Thanks, Anton. Wouldn't mind hearing about next year's comet. ☄

I've read the two articles and they are full of controversial assumptions and simplifications. Just to mention some, they're dealing mainly with words on the fact that the tumbling speed (not yet fully decomposed) didn't change. Also, the averaging of irradiation is questionable. The jump in albedo from 0.1 to 0.64 (and I recall that 0.72 was also "available", from Triton) allows a large range of fit, reducing a lot the necessary size; still, the variable acceleration implied, besides 1/d^2, is not treated, nor the color correspondence to that high albedo. In the second paper, they describe a possible collisional formation starting with Pluto-like surfaces; still, if the estimates are correct, why no such N2 icebergs were ever observed in our own solar system, in the Kuiper belt, for instance? More, if they dominate the statistics, why Borisov was not N2? I'm not saying is a bad explanation, is just a possible one and I consider unfair to address the Loeb's interpretation as a personal wish for glory; he already had enough and his work is just another modeling, with a certain number of free parameters, maybe less than Jackson&Desch's one. Just because that one is ET and "is never ET" does not allow personal remarks to come out. To be understood: I'm not an ET hypothesis supporter, I'm a supporter of impartiality and, as long as assumptions and errors are declared, all works are valid and they do not compromise the science.
