#184 Avi Loeb – Harvard Scientist on UFO...

Emilio Ortiz
About this episode

Are UFOs real? Could time travel already be happening? In this groundbreaking interview, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb joins Emilio Ortiz to explore the intersection of science, consciousness, and the cosmic unknown. From black holes and dark matter to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), Avi unpacks the science that could shift our entire understanding of reality.

Dr. Loeb shares insights on what mainstream academia may be ignoring — and why humanity must stay open-minded about advanced civilizations, interstellar visitors, and time as a nonlinear force. This episode touches on topics like the Big Bang, the nature of consciousness, artificial intelligence, the limitations of our current technology, and the spiritual significance of space exploration.

Dr. Avi Loeb is a renowned theoretical physicist, bestselling author, and former Chair of Harvard’s Astronomy Department. He currently leads the Galileo Project, dedicated to investigating UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) through scientific rigor. Featured in major media worldwide, Avi is known for challenging the status quo and offering bold new perspectives on the future of humanity in the cosmos.
