Stefan is so smart. I love this guy.
My trust level in him is pretty high, which is rare.
You can tell he ACTUALLY knows what the fuck he's talking about.
BS artists are good at talking a lot, but their statements go through buffers before delivery... Stefan doesn't have any of that going on.
31:40 he does peddle his own smack, but I'm sure it's high quality.
He absolutely could have been a cult leader if he was so inclined, but he's chosen a respectable path instead.

Quote:2025 FA22 was discovered on March 29, 2025 by Pan-STARRS 2. This object has an absolute
magnitude of 21.5 that suggests a diameter within a factor of two of 160 meters. Otherwise
little is known about its physical properties, other than a lower bound of ~2 hours on the
rotation period from photometry obtained by N. Moskovitz et al. (pers. comm.) at Lowell Observatory.
2025 FA22 will approach within 0.00563 au (2.19 lunar distances) on September 18, when
the SNRs at Goldstone should be very strong and ideal for detailed imaging.

When "the big one" comes, we might get a couple days notice like this. 50/50 chance we would get any forewarning. But it won't be months or years.
Apophis IS super close though, I gotta say... the likelihood is that there is a much bigger threat with an even closer rendezvous and we'll never see it coming.

7:14 interesting tidbit of info re: Apophis = Egyptian serpent god, considering all the serpent imagery around ancient sites all over the world, like Gobekli Tepe, Serpent Mound, etc.

And ANOTHER comet, Swan 25b...

What the fuck man. There's all kinds of action in the galactic neighborhood right now.

This is the single most insane report covering a two month period that I’ve ever heard in my life, by far, and it’s not even close. Any one of these things is massive news, but all three of them, with two of them being brand new and seemingly joining 3I Atlas in some kind of celestial consortium dance? This barrage feels like something operating with intent— The odds of this all being random keep going down and down and down.

Stefan is quickly becoming the weatherman of the cosmos. There is so much activity in the solar system right now, it warrants a daily forecast.

Thought— Nobody in the world is denying that this is a comet, making the idea that people like Stefan are “blowing 3I/Atlas out of proportion” sound silly. It’s almost as if it showed up to say “THIS is a comet, bitches. 3I/Atlas different”.
I was surprised to hear that Swan should be visible to the naked eye in the next few days.

as it heads towards earth, it should begin glowing in a teal color.
Couldn’t resist…

I gotta agree with you. 3I/Atlas alone wasn't enough for me, but this other stuff thrown in...
Two "comets" flying around out there at the same damn time, that's strange.
At the least, Stefan's suggestion that there could be interaction between these objects and the sun's magnetic field is definitely true...
All of this activity could trigger some pretty intense solar flares.

That's beautiful.
He's a pioneer, and there have been others, but Tamitha Skov comes to mind...

Which can cause earthquakes, hurricanes and other weather events, and it's just a domino effect kind of situation.

Quote:As soon as I learned about SWAN, I was curious whether it might have originated from 3I/ATLAS, either as a fragment that broke off from a natural icy rock or as a scout released by a technological mothership at a large distance. However, my brilliant collaborator Peter Veres confirmed that the arrival directions of the two objects are very different: SWAN originated on this encounter from the direction of the Aquarius constellation on the sky whereas 3I/ATLAS arrived from the Sagittarius constellation in the direction of the center of the Milky-Way galaxy.

Sagittarius is our parent galaxy, it was cannibalized by the Milky Way...

Sorry for the heinous robot narration, but it's still a good explanation. Hard to find info about this topic, which isn't surprising.
Billy's take on it is interesting, but I don't agree with him. This may be one of the only things he says that is straight bullshit.
We're in a faint ribbon of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy near the outer edge of one of the Milky Way's "arms" and that's why we see it at an angle.

The way Stefan replaces words and phrases like “apocalyptic” and “totally fucking insane” with the word “dynamic” has me feeling a certain way.

18:30 He starts talking about comets preceding massive changes on earth, or being an omen, and speculates what that might mean in the context of a swarm of comets, leading into an interesting take on AI…

Comets = panspermia.
That's all I can think about when I see the graphic of these 7 comments.
Quote:Roughly one comet per year is visible to the naked eye, though many of those are faint and unspectacular. Particularly bright examples are called "great comets"
Quote:There is no fixed "normal" number of comets at once; at any given time, there are likely a few dozen comets visible to professional telescopes, but only a fraction of those are bright enough for amateur astronomers to see, and rarely is a comet visible to the naked eye. However, roughly ten times that number are discovered each year, meaning there are many more comets in the Solar System than are currently observable.
So it looks like being able to see more than one of them with the naked eye (at some point) within the frame of a year would constitute as unusual activity.
7:05 so how many will we ultimately be able to see with the naked eye? That's what I wanna know. Apparently Atlas will not be visible to the naked eye at any point in time.
I'm gonna judge it by that standard...
Say 2 or 3 comets started becoming visible with the naked eye, that'd be noteworthy...
With everything we've learned about ancient civilizations during the past decade, they probably DID have telescopes, otherwise how the fuck did they know about celestial bodies we only discovered within the past 200 years??
But if we were fresh out of the caveman days as ancient humans who were starting to look toward the sky, what we could see with the naked eye would be of the highest importance.
14:05 I love seeing comets on the coronagraph. It's always real exciting... I remember back in the day people used to trip super hard about it.
15:15 3I/Atlas coma is damn near 500,000 miles... that's insane.
17:16 see... panspermia. I'm fucking telling you.

BTW, I notice he's selling tea with mugwort...
Mugwort ain't nothing to fuck around with. I'm sure drinking it in tea form is fine, prolly totally safe but... I actually smoked it several years ago.
It changed the way I slept for at least a year afterward, and I had one of the most bizarre, hyper realistic, deeply symbolic dreams I've EVER had the night I smoked it.
Basically, it got rid of that 'in between' phase of sleeping and waking. There was only DEEP sleep, or immediately being wide awake. That lasted for about a year.
As for the dream, I wrote it down but I can't share any of it. All I will say is that at the end of the dream, the beings told me, "We wanted you to remember this."
The way I took it was that a message had been 'waiting' for me, and the mugwort allowed me to access that plane and come away with the information intact.
I've never used mugwort again, tea or otherwise.

I may order some of his tea. It’s cool that he makes it with his dad and it’s not just something he’s peddling as a sponsor.
Sounds like you had an extreme response!
