Scientist are PANICKING Over the 3I/ATLAS | David Kipping

FULL EPISODE: https://youtu.be/3Rb08Io8MpM

This clip breaks down why scientists are suddenly freaking out about 3I/ATLAS — a new interstellar object that’s moving way too fast, looks nothing like what we expected, and is raising huge questions about how our solar system even formed.

Dr. David Kipping explains why 3I/ATLAS might be one of the strangest discoveries in modern astronomy.

Inside this clip:

– What 3I/ATLAS actually is

– Why the speed & trajectory make no sense

– Comet vs asteroid — and why neither fits perfectly

– How interstellar objects are discovered

– Why these objects are showing up WAY faster than expected

– The chaotic “birth” of planets & the debris they spit out

– Why our solar system is NOT normal compared to others

– The 10 anomalies scientists still can’t reconcile

– Selection bias & why we may be missing most objects

– Why detecting this many this fast is genuinely alarming

No hype.

No sci-fi.

Just the real science — and the weirdness nobody was prepared for.
