Avi Loeb is a Harvard University professor, bestselling author, and expert in astrophysics. He directs Harvard's Institute for Theory and Computation and the Galileo Project. Avi has published 9 books, including 'Extraterrestrial' and 'Interstellar', and over 1,000 scientific papers on topics such as black holes and extraterrestrial life. He directs Harvard's Institute for Theory and Computation and the Galileo Project.In this conversation, Avi Loeb discusses his groundbreaking research on interstellar meteors, particularly focusing on the materials retrieved from a meteor that collided with Earth in 2014. He emphasises the importance of analysing these materials to determine their origins, whether natural or technological. Loeb critiques the scientific community's reluctance to explore unconventional explanations for unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and highlights the challenges he faces in securing funding for his innovative research. He also addresses the role of science popularisers and the need for transparency in scientific inquiry, particularly regarding government-held information about potential extraterrestrial phenomena. We also discuss the implications of potential extraterrestrial intelligence, the relationship between science and religion, and the importance of searching for life beyond Earth. Avi reflects on testimonies regarding non-human intelligence, the societal impact of disclosure, and the need for a cosmic perspective in understanding our place in the universe.
