Manage episode 515482996 series 3651147
Proposed origins of "comet" 3i/Atlas have included alien spacecraft, interstellar probe, extraterrestrial machinery, and mysterious space rock, but it's unlikely that a truly advanced alien species would travel the galaxy kinetically, or send a physical device when they would probably possess remote-viewing capabilities far exceeding ours... Right?
So, what if 3i/Atlas is actually from Earth - a technology deployed by an advanced species that predates humanity? Was it developed and deployed by an intelligent race that inhabited the Earth millennia ago, and is now returning from its intended mission? Or could it be a data backup? - an archive sent off from a dying civilization and timed to return to share their collective knowledge with the next earthly inhabitants: Us.
