Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, known for his speculative inquiries, recently embarked on a mission to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in search of what he believes to be alien artifacts. These artifacts, primarily composed of iron, titanium, and magnesium in the form of metal spherules, were allegedly deposited on the ocean floor by a space fireball in 2014. Loeb suggests that they could be evidence of extraterrestrial technological gadgets with artificial intelligence, rather than biological creatures as depicted in science fiction movies. However, his colleagues consider these claims to be outlandish and believe that his work is undermining the credibility of legitimate scientific research.
Moreover, the backlash against Loeb’s unconventional theories has led his colleagues to boycott peer reviews of his work. In the past, his research had garnered support from his peers, but their attitude changed when he shifted his focus to Oumuamua, an interstellar object that passed through the solar system six years ago. Claiming that it originated from an alien source, Loeb has since been investigating reports of previous fireballs to identify anomalous behavior that led him to the discovery of the spherules.
Despite the skepticism surrounding his work, Loeb acknowledges the concerns raised by his peers. In a blog post detailing his search for the mysterious spherules off the coast of Papua New Guinea, he quotes Arthur Schopenhauer, stating that the truth goes through three stages: ridicule, opposition, and eventual acceptance. While the chance for success in his expedition may be small, Loeb believes it is worth pursuing.
