Some scientists and theorists believe that the reactor is extremely advanced, suggesting that highly intelligent beings existed 2 billion years ago. While another hypothesis is that it was constructed by prehistoric human civilization (like described in the Silurian Hypothesis by NASA scientists) using techniques that were lost to subsequent humans.
However, most of the mainstream researchers believe that Oklo is the world’s only identified naturally occurring reactor which was created by accident. As scientists Norman Schwers and John A. Miller from Sandia National Laboratories explain in a 2017 paper, the concept of a naturally occurring reactor was originally documented in 1956 using reactor theory or the infinite multiplication constants.
I remember you could Download a small program to help seti. By allocation of a “small” part of your computer power they analysed resources radio waves (if i remember correctly). Anyone remembers this as well?
In hind sight: damn the 90s were cool. Your parents had no idea what to do with a computer and i could explore the internet and do all kinds stupid stuff. Maybe downloaded a couple of early virussen, trojans and useful extra “ask! buttons”
So yeah anyway, thanks for the trip through memory lane
