Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, we've talked about Avi Low before from Harvard, this
astronomer who is at least not pooh poohing the idea
that whatever three I Atlas is as it comes hurtling
towards the Earth and the Sun, that it could potentially
be alien technology.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I'm glad you use the word hurdling, because in fact
it is moving at an incredible two hundred and forty
five thousand kilometers per hour. This is the fastest known
object ever observed within the Solar system. Yep, that sounds
pretty alien to me, doesn't it It could.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It also appears to be enormous.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Early estimates indicate that the body could span up to
twenty kilometers in diameter.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You're British sometimes.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Go on, what's twenty kilometers in diameter?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Like on a football field?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
On a football field. Yeah, the twenty kilometers ten miles.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Ten miles, it's ten miles in diameter.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I don't know, I'm asking, is that right? That sound about?
Anybody knows?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Does anybody know measurements?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Where all is.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
About twelve twelve miles. I'd say so. Think I'm that
far out of the world of Oliver.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I said about ten and Oliver the only one who
knows actually British.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
He went to Gary Fist.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Danis is thirty two thousand, eight hundred and eight feet.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Does that help you?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Oh yeah, then narrows it down.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, so if this think it's twelve miles across, that
could be like an alien city that's in orbit coming here. Yeah,
like a whole city, like twice the size of San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, yeah, one kilometer, sorry, ten kilometers is six point
two miles?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yeah, twenty kilometers.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Ollie was right, twelve point four, that's what he said.
Did you not listen to Alie?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Only listen to me when I said about ten, and
then he said twelve?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
And I think we're both on the same team.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
No, No, he was actually correct.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I was close, but he was correct.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
All Right, you built the fence. That's your victory for
the day.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
That's enough. I am enough.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Now could it be alien? This is what Harvard says.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Typically, when astronomers encounter a new object in space, they
assume it's composed of rock, ice, or combination of the two.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
However, three I Atlas exhibits.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Strange characteristics, which is making some scientists from Harvard begin
to wonder where whether it may be something more unusual.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
It's also spitting out a metric pantload of water, which
is unusual that you do not see that in a
what would be a comet usually.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Did you know that we have sent out a few
alien probes ourselves over the years, both in the seventies,
Voyager one and two officially left our Solar system, Pioneer
ten and eleven not far behind. So it's not a
stretch to think that alien civilizations, if they exist.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Would send probes.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
This would launch their own galactic explorers. So maybe they're
just exploring and they don't want to land. Maybe they're
going to see what Earth is and like ah.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Or they aim directly for Earth and miss.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You drive by Bakersfield, You're like, do I want to stop?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Keep going?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Do I have to stop?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
One of the features they also point out potentially being
artificial is that it follows an orbit that takes it
very close to Venus and Mars and Jupiter, which would
be intriguing because that wouldn't necessarily be the easiest space
for it to orbit, right, and most of the stuff
that we see in our Solar system they do not
(03:50):
emit their own light.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
That's this thing this thing is also emitting its own light.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
That's where I get a little bit worried, slash excited
about this, because if it was just made up of
the other stuff that these are made up of, it
would not be emitting its own light. But again, there's
no guarantee that it wants to come close to us.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Maybe it gets closer, it stops and then goes back
the other way.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, maybe maybe it sees what's going.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
On, you know, says it doesn't want any of this.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It doesn't, It doesn't want any part of this. You know,
who here ate lead as a child? Lead paint chips?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Anybody?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
We all didn't. Everyone didn't drink.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Drank water out of the hose.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It was probably not not, yeah, allowing.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
We grew up in a stronger America.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Our ancestors and I'm talking great apes, even Neanderthals may
have been exposed to lead millions of years ago. And
obviously it can damage your brain, as we see in
this room.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But but also so hurtful, isn't he? My goodness?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
They said that modern humans have developed a tiny genetic
change that protects our minds and actually allowed language and
intelligence to flourish and part of it was whatever impact
lead had on our neo corteses when we were Neanderthals,
may have you're started us.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Down that roads.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You're making up words.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Lead traces were present in seventy three percent of fossils
studied and seventy one percent of modern and archaic human
samples showed contamination. As much as one point eight million
years ago, there were humans, sorry, Homo sapiens and our
ancestors that had traces of lead in them. So whatever
the lead, however bad it was in the fifties and
(05:36):
sixties and seventies, was probably good for us one point
eight million years ago, because we're still here, all right.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Coming up next in strange science, there is a thirty
three pound baby. As you can imagine, it's so jarring.
Human baby, yes, Gary, a human baby. When people see
this baby, how big was that baby? This a small baby?
That's that's a small baby. Okay, I don't know how
much babyes weigh, but it's a tiny baby. This one's
(06:04):
thirty three pounds. And people are saying that this baby
was is being accused of being AI generated. People are
stopping this family on the street. Now, how a real
life baby that you see on the street you think
could be AI generated. Goes into your hypothesis of lack
of intelligence.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, the lead chips, the lead LG chips, people that
we all ate for years.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
All right, hey, do you want to hear about the
fat baby.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Let's talk about the fat baby as we continue our
strange science.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Chloe Sutton is a married mom of a nineteen month
old and she's being accused of falsifying her son's thirty
three pound physique with AI for social media clout.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
She's twenty five.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
This woman, she's from Australia and she says, a lot
of people think my baby is AI.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It is not AI. She's got a digit.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
She has a digital audience of eight point one million.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I think that was our Borda at one time. This kid,
the baby, yeah, look at him?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Which board up?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Blake Blake um.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
She said, this is my son. He's just a big baby.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
So this looks like a seven year old that she's holding.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
She's she's five six and the baby's body spans more
than half the length of her frame.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
That is a big baby. Who's that baby's dad? And
who does he play nose tackle for?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Dad is only six foot two.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Huh, and even against a six foot two dad. The
baby is gigantic, but not AI, she swears, according to
social media.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So there's enough AI profiles out there. You know, you'd
think that a baby that was AI, you'd be able
to know right away that it was a fake baby,
right
