Hello, world. Today my guest is Professor Avi Lope. Avi is an astrophysicist at Harvard,

and his new book, Extraterrestrial, the first signs of intelligent life beyond Earth,

proposes that an interstellar object that passed through our solar system in 2017 may have been the creation of alien intelligence.

This man is truly a genius who is pushing the envelope in the creation of alien intelligence.

This man is truly a genius who is pushing the envelope in the world of astrophysics and cosmology.

I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did.

Please welcome Avi Loeb. Pleasure to meet you. Avi, is that how you pronounce it yes so again i just asked you before we

started recording have you done any of these zoom conversations in the past well thanks for having me

yeah over the past three weeks or so,

things were very hectic.

I've had about 150 Zoom meetings of this type interviews

with either podcasters or television or newspaper

or radio stations.

And there seem to be an enormous interest in the book.

And I think part of the reason is that the scientific community staffed the public

on this topic of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, technological signatures,

for many decades. And the public is thirsty for information.

And I address this interest and it's intriguing to the public.

And hopefully the scientific community will start discussing this topic within the mainstream

in the future.

That's my hope.

That's incredible.
