In this episode of Hello Future, host Kevin Cirilli sits down with Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb to explore the mysteries of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. With its strange trajectory, unusual chemistry, and puzzling size, could this object be a natural phenomenon—or something more? Dr. Loeb challenges conventional science, introduces his groundbreaking “Loeb Scale” for evaluating interstellar objects, and makes the case for open-minded inquiry into potential extraterrestrial technology. He also explains why space exploration is critical for humanity’s future and what this discovery could mean for our place in the cosmos.
