| 0:05.2 | All right, so what do you think? Are we alone in the universe? |
| 0:08.6 | It's a question that has haunted humanity, it seems like forever. |
| 0:12.4 | In Harvard astrophysicist Abby Loeb, he's never been shy about his answer. |
| 0:17.2 | As a matter of fact, Dr. Loeb is one of the most influential voices in space |
| 0:21.2 | science known for challenging the status quo. Back in 2017, he stunned the world by |

| 1:18.9 | So what do you think? |
| 1:20.5 | Just another chunk of cosmic ice and dust, or is it something far more intentional? |
| 1:25.9 | Dr. Lowe, thank you so much for being here. |
| 1:28.0 | Thanks for having me. |
