How to draw an alien and why we should draw conclusions from a UFO sighting... for hope. With Avi Loeb.

TOA ON AIR

Extraterrestrial Life. Oumuamua. Space. You guessed it, we invited Avi Loeb to TOA OA to discuss astrophysics, alien life, and how conservatism in ideas is killing the exploration and funding of outlandish ideas. Loeb, the international sensation, is a professor of astrophysics at the University of Harvard, the Founding Director of Harvard's Black Hole Initiative, and acclaimed author.

He made huge waves in the media after releasing a paper to discern ALL hypotheses on the alien-interstellar-thing that crossed the planet in 2017 and came to an alien conclusion. He notes that science is there to address questions of interest to the public. So, why should extraterrestrial interest be underfunded? What do we know about the government's interest in UFOs?

Loeb joins Niko Woischnik, founder of TOA, to discuss the intricacies of exploring intelligent life, how he would draw an alien, and how science-fiction (within bounds) keeps life in imagination and possibilities.
