well be that our still sentient cosmic neighbor in the Milky Way galaxy chose to swipe us left

while monitoring the daily news on the Universal Civilization Scale dating him. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Open the pod bay doors now.

Welcome, Avi. How are you doing today?

Doing great, nice to see you again.

It's great to have a friend on, it's great to have a brilliant author on even if you are at Harvard. You know, well, we make exceptions for the most brilliant among us. I've had a surfeit of Harvard guests, but you're always one of my most popular thank you again well

fundamentally I'm a farm boy as you well know and when I went to the expedition I

bought a private jet and the pilot as I entered the jet said welcome aboard Professor Love and I said

you don't need any titles here just call me Avi and because fundamentally I'm just a curious farm boy and I say that to you as well.

Yes I know and there's a lot of a lot of things to discuss today I'll just say I'm the first person in my family like you probably to go and get a

PhD in advanced astrophysics. So you know when they say everything you need to know you learned in

kindergarten it's not true. Today we're talking about a

phenomenal book that just came out as of their release of this video. Let's see if I

can get my high-speed non-harvard grade cameras to focus and it is called

Interstellar. Avi as you know we have a theme in this very podcast where we do what is

forbidden since the time of Gutenberg himself and that is to judge books by their covers.

So today I'm going to ask you to judge for us what went into the making of this book, the title, the subtitle and the beautiful cover art on this wonderful book.

Well, the title is actually a very good hint as to the content of a scientific paper that summarizes the results from the expedition to retrieve

fragments or spherals from the depth of the Pacific Ocean, and we can talk more about that.

But it relates also to anything that comes from outside the solar system.

It's sort of like our cosmic street.

And this is the key word that we have to keep in mind because only over the past decade we were able to find such packages that came from outside of our home and at our doorstep near earth and amazingly enough they do not look similar to the rocks that we had seen in our backyard and therefore they might have been sent to us by someone. We just have to figure it out and maybe we will find a postal address that indicates they came from outside the solar system. We can talk about that. In fact, as we we are speaking I'm writing that paper that I'm talking about and I know the content but I cannot reveal all the details we can talk about that but they relate to the postal address. And then the subtitle of this book has to do with the

implications of finding that we have a neighbor in our cosmic environment to the future of humanity and even the search itself just like the search for a partner in life can change you and I believe that it will be the biggest change in the history of
