In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed a strange object soaring through our inner solar system. Harvard Professor Avi Loeb believes that the object known as Oumuamua was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and leaving no trail of gas or debris in its wake. For Professor Loeb, there was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.

In this talk, Professor Loeb will take us inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He will outline his theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion, and for the future of our planet. This talk will challenge you to aim for the stars-and to think critically about what’s out there, no matter how strange it seems.
