Avi Loeb, Harvard's top astronomer
Shay Michael chats with Harvard astrophysicist, Avi Loeb, on NASA's recent formation of a 16-member panel to examine unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), on his Galileo Project, which searches for extraterrestrial life and evidence of advanced civilization artifacts on Earth and beyond, and on his 2021 New York Times best-selling book, Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth.
In the episode, Loeb details his plans and hopes to find evidence of the existence of advanced intelligent life on this Earth and beyond by using a "suite of instruments" to search the cosmos. His revelations into the possibility of life beyond our own planet is fascinating and a must-listen-to episode if you're into the possibility that we're not alone in the universe.
