Default Is it a well done deception or is it genuine?

Saw this on the news some minutes ago and found an English article.
So what do you say a deception or genuine ?

My first thought is - It's a deception and it will stay this way until the scientist has examined the object.

The object, which is estimated to be around 10-12 feet (3-3.6 metres) tall and made of some type of metal, was found planted in the ground, tucked in a red rock cove.
The movie 2001 came into my mind too

"It's not from us."
If the base is tucked in concrete, it's a hoax

Another is it a deception or genuine?

There are now businesses that sell fake people.

It doesn't have the 1:4:9 ratio to be from the TMA.

You mean the 1:4:9:16:25 ratio?

Clarke wrote about that in The Lost Worlds of 2001. It was silly to assume that there were only three dimensions.

I think the scientist have made it clear by now, there are more dimensions than these three. There is also a fourth dimensions, which is Time.

On this they agree..When it comes to more dimensions they have different opinion on how many there is.

Back to this object.

I have only seen the movie 2001 once many years ago. So I may have missed this 1.4.9 Ratio and I haven't read the book.

But do this object to have this ratio ?

The monolith from the movie was found on the moon and it was black. Not shining metal.

Time is not a dimension, but it can move across dimensions

I can only refer to some science program like
Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman
The Univers
How the univers Works.

And if my memory doesn't play tricks with me, they have said the fourth dimensions is the Time
and some scientist even claim that gravity should be a dimensions too.

I like science program about space and quantum mechanics, it does not make me an expert though.

Nothing made of metal could survive a fall from outer space

Appeared to be rivet holes on one side, like a plaque was to be attached.

I consider this for being a hoax/deception until the scientist tell us otherwise.

I have a little believe that there are intelligent life out there. But as mentioned before I don't think they have the knowledge/capability or interested in visiting us.

It was a friend who posted it with a link to a Danish newspaper.
My first thought was yea and within the next couple of month we will wake up one ordinary morning only to witness huge spacecraft hovering above earth biggest cities.
(sometimes my imagination goes wild)

re time being a dimension is debatable

In classic newtonian physics time is being described as a fourth dimension. It is about definition, gravity is a curvature or "warp" in space-time, which is why time passes faster closer to a gravity well.
There were probably more dimensions at the beginning of the big expansion, and that some d. are slowly evaporating with the age of what you call universe.
"Time" and "laws of nature" are different from the core of a galaxy to its outer rim, so any "law" is depending on what it relates to.

^ I presume you are right.

Furthermore it's a sculpture

Quote:
Some cheekily wondered if it was planted there by aliens. Others thought it might be a tribute to the monolith in “2001: A Space Odyssey.” But the most tantalizing speculation was that it might be the work of John McCracken, a Minimalist sculptor with an affinity for science fiction who died in 2011.
