That Tech Pod is off for Memorial Day weekend so we are reposting one of our all time favorite pods. We'll be back next week! This pod originally aired as Bonus pod on Thursday, May 19, 2022.  Laura and Gabi speak with Dr. Avi Loeb, theoretical physicist who works on astrophysics and cosmology and the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University. Dr. Loeb is author of Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth which can be purchased here and recently wrote about the congressional hearings regarding UAPs which you can read here.Laura and Gabi discuss all things UFOs, how the government is finally recognizing these unexplained sightings, and his research with the Galileo Project, an organization whose goal is to bring the search for extraterrestrial technological signatures of Extraterrestrial Technological Civilizations (ETCs) from accidental or anecdotal observations and legends to the mainstream of transparent, validated and systematic scientific research. This project is complementary to traditional SETI, in that it searches for physical objects, and not electromagnetic signals, associated with extraterrestrial technological equipment.

It is the most fundamental question of humanity: are we alone? Are we the only intelligent life in the Universe? The answer, whether it is yes, or no, has profound implications on every aspect of our lives. And yet, until very recently, the scientific community at large has refused to officially pursue the answer to this question. My guest today is no stranger to controversy and not afraid to ask the question and to give his answer. Professor Avi Loeb is a Harvard astrophysicist and arguably one of the world's most famous scientists today. In his 2021 book "Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth", he proposes that the interstellar object Oumouamoua, which passed through our solar system in 2017, may indeed be the creation of an alien intelligence. His book became an immediate New York Times bestseller and caused a huge stir in the media and the scientific community. Professor Loeb is the author of five books and over 800 scientific papers. In 2012 Time magazine named him one of the 25 most influential people in space. Professor Loeb is the Frank B. Baird Jr. professor of science at Harvard University, where he is also director of the Black Hole Initiative and the Institute for Theory and Computation and has worked on many advances in space and astrophysics, producing pioneering and provocative research on black holes, gamma-ray bursts and the early universe. Today we will talk about his riveting hypothesis, which states that we are not alone in the Universe and about his work as the head of the Galileo Project, which focuses on the Systematic Scientific Search for Evidence of Extraterrestrial Technological Artifacts. In this episode, you'll discover: -Main stream scientists, and Avi's wish for more childlike thinking in academia...03:30 -"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." -Carl Sagan. "Extraordinary evidence requires extraordinary funding." -Avi Loeb...07:15 -What makes Oumouamoua, the interstellar object that passed through our solar system in 2017, so unique...09:25 -There is little space for new ideas about outer space...14:30 -The Galileo Project: the million dollar question of whether to rendezvous or not...16:40 -Earth Ego and superiority complex: why the possibility of life on other planets is a threat for many...19:00 -The smartest kid on the block (as long as no one knows about the other ones)...23:00 -Professor Loeb deals with personal criticism by focusing on those who support him...27:00 -Giant Telescopes. Megapixel images. Funding for the Galileo project housed at Harvard University...32:00 -An expert answers how we should handle the first contact experience with extraterrestrials...35:00 -What have we been looking for and what SHOULD we be looking for...39:00 -Learn why whatever information we might have about life on other planets won't be released to the public...43:00 -Avi's positive outlook about how we could be inspired to behave better by outsiders; if we continue on the present path, we won't survive more than a few centuries...48:00 -Why it is best to start from zero and build up: humility trumps arrogance...51:00 -Standing against the tide of naysayers from main stream science...55:00 -Mating ducks, dating artificial space objects, and other inspirations in Professor Loeb's daily life...58:30 Resources mentioned: https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/galileo/home (The Galileo Project) https://www.amazon.com/Extraterrestrial-First-Intelligent-Beyond-Earth/dp/0358278147 (Professor Loeb's book) https://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/~loeb/ (Professor Loeb's website)

TOPICS COVERED: Oumuamua, Project Galileo, Aliens, UAPs / UFOs, Exoplanets, Dr. Haim Eschad, and Government UFO Secrecy among other topics. Professor Avi Loeb is an Israeli-American theoretical physicist who works on astrophysics and cosmology. Loeb is the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University. He had been the longest serving chair of Harvard's Department of Astronomy (2011–2020), founding director of Harvard's Black Hole Initiative (since 2016) and director of the Institute for Theory and Computation (since 2007) within the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Physical Society, and the International Academy of Astronautics. In July 2018, he was appointed as chair of the Board on Physics and Astronomy (BPA) of the National Academies, which is the Academies' forum for issues connected with the fields of physics and astronomy, including oversight of their decadal surveys. In June 2020, Loeb was sworn in as a member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) at the White House. In December 2012, Time magazine selected Loeb as one of the 25 most influential people in space. In 2015, Loeb was appointed as the science theory director for the Breakthrough Initiatives of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation. In 2018, he attracted media attention for suggesting that alien space craft may be in our solar system, using the anomalous behavior of ʻOumuamua' as an example. In 2019, and together with his Harvard undergraduate student, Amir Siraj, Loeb reported discovering a meteor that potentially originated outside the Solar System. Avi wrote and published two books in 2021, Life in the Cosmos, with Manasvi Lingam, and Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth.

We sat down with Avi Loeb who is the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science, Harvard Astronomy Department Director, Institute for Theory and Computation, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Founding Director, Black Hole Initiative (BHI), Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences. He is also the author of the book "Extraterrestrial". We will be discussing his new initiative "The Galileo Project" which will try to figure what UAP's are and also search for more Oumumua like objects. We will also discuss his take on the UAP report release by the United States Government and how he plans on trying to identify these objects using instruments and sensors. *If you are watching on Youtube please check us out on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all audio/podcast platforms.

Professor Avi Loeb, who serves as the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University, has authored nearly 700 research articles and 5 books. He explores some of life's most amazing questions, that many scientists fear to touch, and he is here to speak about his new endeavor - The Galileo Project.

Our conversation with Dr. Avi Loeb, the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard university, Director, Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC), Founding Director, Black Hole Initiative (BHI), and author of the New York Times best seller Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth.

Avi Loeb is author of the book “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth”.  It's a story you can hardly believe, once you hear it.  But here it is -- the story of the day in 2017 when telescopes around the world started tracking an object in our solar system.  It was moving in such a way that scientists around the world came to the same, startling conclusion:  It was an extraterrestrial spaceship.  Avi Loeb is a professor of the Harvard Astronomy Department.  He is also a member of the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (which is a collaboration of Harvard College Observatory and Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.  Professor Loeb received a PhD in plasma physics at age 24 from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1986) and was subsequently a long-term member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (1988-1993), where he started to work in theoretical astrophysics. In 1993 he moved to Harvard University where he was tenured three years later.  He is now the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science and former chair of the department. He also holds a visiting professorship at the Weizmann Institute of Science and a Sackler Senior Professorship by special appointment in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Tel Aviv University. Loeb has authored nearly 700 research articles and 4 books. Avi Loeb:  https://astronomy.fas.harvard.edu/people/avi-loeb Something Ventured:  https://somethingventured.us/

The Department of Defense has revived an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force to gather what is known about UAPs. The task force's assessment is due to Congress by June 25. On Thursday, host Kerri Miller explores the possibilities with two experts, an astrophysicist and a conspiracy theory debunker. Guests:  Dr. Avi Loeb is an astrophysicist and the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science Harvard University. Mick West is a science communicator who debunks conspiracy theories online and is the author of “Escaping the Rabbit Hole: How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories Using Facts, Logic and Respect.”

Podcast: Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas (LS 69 · TOP 0.05% what is this?)Episode: 131 | Avi Loeb on Taking Aliens SeriouslyPub date: 2021-01-25The possible existence of technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilizations — not just alien microbes, but cultures as advanced (or much more) than our own — is one of the most provocative questions in modern science. So provocative that it's difficult to talk about the idea in a rational, dispassionate way; there are those who loudly insist that the probability of advanced alien cultures existing is essentially one, even without direct evidence, and others are so exhausted by overblown claims in popular media that they want to squelch any such talk. Astronomer Avi Loeb thinks we should be taking this possibility seriously, so much so that he suggested that the recent interstellar interloper `Oumuamua might be a spaceship built by aliens. That got him in a lot of trouble. We talk about the trouble, about `Oumuamua, and the attitude scientists should take toward provocative ideas.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Abraham (Avi) Loeb received his Ph.D. in plasma physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Dr. Avi Loeb is a world renown Harvard Astrophysicist. He believes we were visited by Extraterrestrial technology in the form of Oumuamua in 2017. We discuss why he thinks this, the implications, and so much more (how he met Stephen Hawking, for instance). Avi's book, Extraterrestrial, is out today. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am sure you will too!
