Scientist Proposes Interstellar Objects Could Seed Earth Life

A scientist named Avi Loeb thinks that objects from space, like 3I/ATLAS, might be sent by advanced civilizations to bring life to Earth.

He says this object is moving in a strange way and has unusual features, which makes him think it might not be a natural comet.

Loeb believes that these objects could carry life and that extraterrestrials might have visited Earth before.

He thinks that life on Earth might have come from space through these objects.

NASA, however, calls 3I/ATLAS a comet.

Loeb's idea is based on a theory called directed panspermia, which suggests that life is spread throughout the universe by space objects.
