American Astrophysicist Finds Way to Move Earth Objects at a Speed of 10,000 km/s 0 9

Harvard University astrophysicist Avi Loeb discussed in his new paper how interstellar objects, such as comet 3I/ATLAS, could be useful for future attempts to explore space beyond the Solar System.

According to the renowned astrophysicist, due to their colossal speeds, such exotic visitors as the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS could deliver a human-made spacecraft beyond the Solar System.

"By riding on comet 3I/ATLAS, which is racing at a speed of 60 kilometers per second, humans could reach interstellar space by around the year 10,000 AD, instead of 30,000 AD," the scientist claims.

"The discovery of interstellar objects over the past decade opens up new possibilities for humanity to send time capsules into interstellar space," Loeb stated.

To attach a message like the "Golden Records of the Voyagers" to objects like 3I/ATLAS, Loeb suggested using "a powerful laser beam to inscribe the message" or "developing interception missions" to affix technological objects to their surfaces.

Abraham (Avi) Loeb (born February 26, 1962, Beit Hanan, Israel) is an Israeli and American theoretical physicist working in the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. Loeb is a professor of natural sciences at Harvard University, where he has led the Institute for Theory and Computation at the Center for Astrophysics since 2007. He chaired the Department of Astronomy from 2011 to 2020 and founded the Initiative for the Study of Black Holes.
