Sorry if this has been posted already, I couldn’t find it if it was. Looks like there’s a study that is refuting Avi Loeb’s claims that the ocean debris his team found is extraterrestrial in origin. I don’t have a NYT account, so if anyone who does wants to elaborate on the article, please do so. Here’s one quote from the article:
“Dr. Loeb has previously been accused by his peers of wild speculation and sensationalism. Last fall, Benjamin Fernando, a planetary seismologist at Johns Hopkins University, led a team that re-examined the nearby seismic signals and concluded that they were not evidence of the extraterrestrial, or anything close to it.”
