Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth

Avi Loeb

The author is the longest serving chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy and a noted theoretical physicist with a focus on astrophysics and cosmology. His reputation and track record make it difficult to dismiss his claims that a Hawaiian telescope spotted the first interstellar object, known as Oumuamua, ever detected in our solar system on October 19, 2017. It is clear that Loeb views science like many investors approach the stock market – as a ‘detective story’. Like any good value investor, he urges us to expand our notion of what’s possible and follow Heraclitus of Ephesus’s advice that “if you do not expect the unexpected, you will not find it.” Maybe some investors won’t appreciate the connection between space exploration and stock picking (it is a bit of a stretch), but we certainly found the author’s passion to seek out the truth as inspiring.
