Harvard professor Avi Loeb believes he's found fragments of alien technology

21. I usually endorse a post if I agree wildly. Otherwise, it's just a post.

I pick up a lot of items of varying quality (mostly good) on Hacker News, and decide whether it's worth posting on DU.

Late at night, I pass on a lot of items or I don't dig really deep. I forgot that Loeb is controversial.

If people call me on raising controversy, I can use the "Uncle Leo" excuse. I'm old and confused.

But I never get controversial, as in bending the rules.

That said, science can be controversial. I read "The Nature of the Universe" by Fred Hoyle early on, and still don't like aspects of the "Big Bang" theory, largely because it was invented by a priest. And there are controversies and bets being placed on theories being pure speculation or later being proven or disproven.

I do remain neutral on the subject of space aliens, despite having heard of Chariots of the Gods way back when.

OK, gotta phone home now.
