So what do you think about this 3iAtlas comet behaving weirdly in our Solar System?

All of these comments rely on a ‘human centric ’ interpretation of what life is, what a power source is, what time is and so on.

Given the probable infinite nature of space, why would ‘alien life’ be bound by the same scientific or physical restraints that we are?

human centric

I certainly agree with that, the problem is there is nothing left but conjecture. I think the entire discipline of astrobiology is a misconception. We should spend much more time considering the origin of life on earth before we try to guess its existence light years away.

That's because of the difficulties implied by the distances involved and Einstein's theories: the distances involved are expressed in light years; ...

For these reasons, science fiction writers rely on wormholes,

I find it interesting that you accept Einstein's theories when they rule out interstellar travel (the impossibility of light speed travel) but don't accept his theories on wormholes. They were literally named after him, Einstein-Rosen bridges

I recently read Waterspider by Phillip K Dick, great premise, scientists from the future travel back in time to scoop up science fiction writers in the belief that they were actually precogs, their writings were actually prophecies. View attachment 1014595

Well, I hope they put Arthur C. Clarke in prison once they were done with him.
