Really interesting video, but I’m not convinced with the calculation to derive the number of similar objects per unit volume of space. With only one sighting this can only be guesswork. As we go in to the future, any observations of similar objects may well back up the Professor’s findings. However, as of now we could just as easily say that there is only one of these objects in existence.

I do not think you can alcualte the probable number of these present form one single sigthing. There may as well be only one.

A few things. I imagine a bullet tumble, and the fastest prohectiles know to the universe. A shotgun blast that sends shrapnel in every direction. Relative to time on earth, the zero point would be relative to time pluto makes a revelution. Could that resemble a bullet speed impaction of an objects higher speed than perscieved before?

What direction from the galactic center of the milky way did it come from? What are the closest observal solar systems?

Why not put out space garbage a fetch a ride like a flea or tick. Why not make an altra circuit communucation orbit with satrlites, intercept projectiles, hitch a ride. Send interception of communication satlites too planers/ comets, with a projectile that lowers its chances to a return to earth.

It's a chunk of silica, that explains the shape.

0.4 is close😳 enough to check us out!

Dr. David Jewitt seem to be pessimistic about the capability of current and emerging rocket technology.

Why do all planets spin the same way?
