They are planning to sluice the material too so that they find non-magnetic items too.
I think the magnet is the first pass? Perhaps to try and narrow down the search area.
He seems like a bit of a nut, but it is quite refreshing to see some "real" science and analysis of materials etc and not just "oh hey we found these things SO IT MUST BE ALIENS!!!!"
- TechBro8615 3y agoIsn't the magnet mostly a necessity? How else would you dredge up somewhat interesting materials from the bottom of the ocean?
- nomel 3y agoWell, how would you dredge up interesting materials when the vast majority of our interesting materials aren't magnetic? I think it's more about ease, since dredging and sorting is technically possible, but much harder. In the ocean, most everything is calcium or sand, so maybe not impossible.
