Mysterious Comet's 'Heartbeat' Aligns With Ancient Clocks
18 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS exhibits a rhythmic 'heartbeat' pattern.
- The object's pulse cycle aligns with ancient Chinese and Indian timing systems.
- Researchers debate if the anomalies suggest intelligent design or natural phenomena.
The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is nearing Earth, exhibiting peculiar behaviors that have sparked debate among scientists. Researchers have observed a consistent 'heartbeat' emanating from the object, pulsing in rhythmic bursts. This cycle, initially measured at 16.16 hours, has recently been refined to 15.48 hours.
Independent analysis by Andrew Collins suggests this pulsation aligns remarkably with ancient timing systems used by the Chinese and Indians. Collins posits this synchronization with historical 144-second units is too precise to be coincidental, hinting at a possible 'broadcast' of a universal mathematical pattern.
While NASA maintains 3I/ATLAS is a comet, some researchers, including Avi Loeb, highlight anomalies like its speed, an 'anti-tail' pointing towards the sun, and the ejection of DNA building blocks. These elements lead to speculation about intelligent design, though official bodies like NASA and ESA dismiss theories of artificial origin.
