Dark Matters of Astrophysics - Avi Loeb, Harvard Astrophysics

1 hour 24 minutes

Dr. Avi Loeb is an astrophysicist and cosmologist who served as the longest running chair of the Harvard Astronomy Department, and who was an early advocate for the alien origins of ‘Omouamoua. During round two, we dive into unsolved questions of fundamental physics, the dark matter paradox, details of his mission to pull an alien object from the ocean floor off the coast of Papua New Guinea, and the possible need for something other than gravity alone to explain the cosmos.

PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Michael Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.
