Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has cowritten a research paper speculating whether the comet 3I/ATLAS is in fact \

ofc it’s some Israeli crank. Look I love me some aliens but just fucking stop, so sick and tired of all these psyops involving disclosure and ending up with blue balls instead.

    Loeb was born in Beit Hanan,[14] Israel, in 1962. He took part in the national Talpiot program of the Israeli Defense Forces at age 18.[15] While in Talpiot, he obtained a BSc degree in physics and mathematics in 1983, an MSc degree in physics in 1985, and a PhD in physics in 1986, all from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI).[5] From 1983 to 1988, he led the first international project supported by the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative. Between 1988 and 1993, Loeb was a long-term member at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, where he started to work in theoretical astrophysics.

    In 1993, he moved to Harvard University as an assistant professor in the department of astronomy, and was tenured three years later.
