Did you know Proxima Centauri is only 4.24 light-years away, yet would take tens of thousands of years to reach with current technology? In this insightful episode, I got to sit down with Avi Loeb, a renowned astrophysicist and Harvard professor. Avi shares his incredible journey, from his days as a curious kid in Israel to becoming a leading figure in astrophysics. He talks about his early love for philosophy, how he transitioned into physics, and even his work on the Strategic Defense Initiative.
