AI Thread Summary
A claim has emerged that a comet will impact Earth on May 25th, specifically in the Atlantic Ocean, potentially causing a mega tsunami. This has sparked significant concern and discussion, particularly in Morocco, where residents fear being directly affected. However, many participants in the forum express skepticism about the credibility of the sources promoting this idea, highlighting the need for critical thinking and the ability to discern misinformation. Suggestions for resources to identify unreliable claims, such as Bad Astronomy and Quackwatch, were shared to help members navigate such topics. Overall, the consensus leans towards dismissing the comet impact theory as unfounded and sensationalized.

Hey everyone, I am not sure if this is the right place to post, but here, it says that a commet will hit Earth on my 25th (in 4 days), and exactly, the atlantic ocean. That means, it will cause a mega tsunami... Everyone is talking about that here in Morocco (since "we are the first ones to be hit") Can anyone provide any scientific explanation to that ? is it true at all ?

If you use google and search for "tsunami may 25th", you'll get a lots of results, and forums talking about that.
Thank you

An article that cites crop circles as evidence for an alien invasion and a meteor strike isn't exactly what I would call credible.
 
I think we need to start a FAQ for our members about "how to identify obvious crackpots". In my opinion, it's an essential skill to be able to identify crazy nonsense as such, and not spend hours worrying about what some anonymous netuser wrote from his basement iMac.

thats always a good one

a lot of health-related things but still a good anti-crackpot site.
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
This hypothesis of scientists about the origin of the mysterious signal WOW seems plausible only on a superficial examination. In fact, such a strong coherent radiation requires a powerful initiating factor, and the hydrogen atoms in the cloud themselves must be in an overexcited state in order to respond instantly. If the density of the initiating radiation is insufficient, then the atoms of the cloud will not receive it at once, some will receive it earlier, and some later. But then there...
