Synopsis of Extraterrestrial:
THE BOOK THAT WILL CHANGE THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE FOREVER
Avi Loeb, the Harvard Astrophysics professor who claims to have found the first evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life
In October 2017, scientists at the Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii detected a moving interstellar object close to Earth. It was first labeled a comet, but this hypothesis was discarded.
Named Oumuamua, Hawaiian for "messenger" or "explorer," it was eventually labeled an asteroid, although its shape and behavior differed from the rest of the asteroids and comets in our solar system. The more scientists observed it, the stranger it seemed to them. When Harvard Professor of Astronomy Avi Loeb suggested that Oumuamua was evidence of extraterrestrial life and technology in space, it sparked what is probably the most relevant scientific debate in decades.
In this book, Loeb presents his theory to the general public for the first time and offers us a fascinating journey through the universe from the origins of time, space and life.
