NO MUSIC. Amir Siraj is the director for interstellar object studies at the Galileo Project and is currently studying Astrophysics and Astronomy at Harvard University under Avi Loeb. One of his new papers, Breakup of a Long-Period Comet as the Origin of the Dinosaur Extinction, details how a comet is the most likely answer for what caused the dinosaur extinction.Amir has also released papers on how the Oort cloud is likely full of interstellar objects. John discusses this and his take on why UAP and interstellar objects need to be studied.00:00:00 Intro00:00:42 Bio0:01:12 A Comet Killed the Dinosaurs..0:05:02 That which creates life...0:08:21 This reminds me of Shoemaker Levy..00:13:47 The Oort Cloud is interesting to Study00:19:40 Does our Oort cloud interact with Proxima Centauri?00:22:56 What about Planet Nine?00:27:40 Did the Sun have a twin?00:29:25 Could there be Exo-Artifacts in the Oort Cloud?00:31:45 Goals of the Galileo Project00:38:10 What if we never find another Oumuamua00:43:25 The Galileo Project May Find Interstellar Meteorites00:47:56 Why UAP should be studied00:51:03 The past Scientists that studied UAP00:53:40 How the Galileo Project will treat the subjectLink:The Galileo Projecthttps://projects.iq.harvard.edu/galileo/homeAmir Siraj Academic website: https://scholar.harvard.edu/sirajThe Solar System’s Oort Cloud May Harbor an Astonishing Number of Objects from Other Starshttps://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-solar-systems-oort-cloud-may-harbor-an-astonishing-number-of-objects-from-other-stars/Breakup of a Long-Period Comet as the Origin of the Dinosaur Extinctionhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2102.06785Preliminary Evidence That Protoplanetary Disks Eject More Mass Than They Retain https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.13429Intelligent Responses to Our Technological Signals Will Not Arrive In Fewer Than Three Millennia https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.01690Interstellar Objects Outnumber Solar System Objects in the Oort Cloudhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2011.14900The Case for an Early Solar Binary Companionhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2007.10339Detecting Interstellar Objects Through Stellar Occultationshttps://arxiv.org/abs/2001.02681Probing Extrasolar Planetary Systems with Interstellar Meteorshttps://arxiv.org/abs/1906.03270Want to support the channel?Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EventHorizonShowFollow us at other places!Website: https://www.eventhorizonshow.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jmgeventhorizonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jmgeventhorizon/Music featured on Event Horizonhttps://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/https://migueljohnson.bandcamp.com/https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com/https://aeriumambient.bandcamp.com/FOOTAGE:NASAESA/HubbleESO - M.KornmesserESO - L.CalcadaESO - Jose Francisco Salgado (josefrancisco.org)NAOJUniversity of WarwickGoddard Visualization StudioLangley Research CenterPixabay#dinosaurs #galileoproject #interstellarobjects Hosted on Acast.
