A11pl3Z

[Yazata]

This newly discovered asteroid looks like it may be an interstellar visiter just passing through the Solar system.

"3rd interstellar object discovered? Maybe. There's a lot of buzz right now in the Astro community. More observations should come in tonight to confirm if A11pI3Z is from beyond the solar system."

Where's Avi Loeb in all of this? Too roundish or something -- not elongated enough to suggest a spaceship?

I notice with previously spotted bodies that some people mentioned about changes in direction or slowing down/ speeding up suggesting "intelligence" from their perspective.

There is actually another possibility that people don't always consider. Our universe is full of movement, our galaxy spirals with our star systems shifting position within. Our planets orbit the star(s) at the centre and they too have bodies that can orbit them. Thats a whole lot of motion.

The one thing we tend not attribute in our universe is: "what happens when we pass something that stands still?". Such an object would appear from our relative perspective to dart about, to speed up or slow down, but the whole time it would actually just be down to the motion of the universe plane passing by it.

Objects do not pass through our galaxy, or vice versa, without the masses of our galaxy affecting it. Nothing is "standing still."

That is a very linear appraisal.

That's physics. Every mass interacts with every other mass, and the only body that can be considered "at rest" is a co-moving body in the same frame of reference (same direction and velocity). There is no "rest frame" or "absolute rest" in physics.

That's Classical Physics, however there is potentially some future changes through Theoretical Physics that might come due.

General Relativity is not classical physics.
There's no frontier of physics that foresees any change in frames of reference.
