We are unprepared for the greatest discovery of modern science. Scientists are confident that there is alien life across the universe yet we have not moved beyond our perception of 'aliens' as Hollywood stereotypes. The time has come to abandon our fixation on alien monsters and place our expectations on solid scientific footing. Using his own expert understanding of life on earth and Darwin's theory of evolution - which applies throughout the universe - Cambridge zoologist Dr Arik Kershenbaum explains what alien life must be like.

Description
The world's most eminent scientist of space explains why he believes in extraterrestrial life.
Harvard's top astronomer lays out his controversial theory that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology.
In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed a strange object soaring through our inner solar system. Astrophysicist Avi Loeb conclusively showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit and leaving no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilisation.
In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes listeners inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion and for the future of our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges listeners to aim for the stars - and to think critically about what's out there, no matter how strange it seems.

Academically strong and opens doors
As a data scientist and astronomy geek myself, Avi’s message is preaching to the choir among those in the same wavelength but presents a compelling case for more creative thinking in the academic world.
Reads well, and I often caught myself knowing the term or uttering it before it being announced, giving me a cool confirmation that signals, math and philosophy are tightly entwined in investigating our relationship to the sky and experiences outside of pure theory brings the human center stage into why we may keep the extra terrestrial channels open, otherwise half the equation is simply omitted for unreasonably fearful scepticism that has marred the scientific community.

Very entertaining
The book covers a broad range of topics, not just extraterrestrial life, but science in general, the life of the author and popular media. Its very entertaining and never gets boring, while still delivering a high level of sophistication, so not oversimplifying things.
What I especially enjoyed was the criticism towards contemporary theoretical physics, where great sums and time are invested in theoretical, unprovable mind-castles, instead of more provable fields like extraterrestrial life.

Ein unaufgeregtes Plädoyer für die Wissenschaft
1I/2017 U1, das erste bekannte interstellare Objekt, das unser Sonnensystem besucht hat, wurde am 19. Oktober 2017 vom Pan-STARRS1-Teleskop in Hawaii entdeckt. Weltweit bekannt wurde es 2019 unter dem Namen Oumuamua. Kurzzeitig als Asteroid klassifiziert, gehen Wissenschaftler heute davon aus, dass sich das Objekt eher wie ein Komet verhält.
Der renommierte Astrophysiker Avi Loeb hält dagegen, dass Oumuamua ein Beweis für extraterrestrische Intelligenz sei. Er nimmt den Leser mit auf eine Reise in seine Gedankenwelt und baut seine Hypothese Kapitel für Kapitel auf. Angereichert mit Anekdoten aus seinem Leben, lernt man aus der Lektüre auch den Menschen Avi Loeb kennen - die israelische Heimat, seine Mutter, die ihn früh intellektuell prägte, den Beginn seiner wissenschaftlichen Laufbahn in Princeton und schließlich seinen Ruf nach Harvard, wo er bis heute lehrt.
Man muss nicht an Außerirdische "glauben", um Gefallen an diesem von Robert Petkoff brillant gelesenem Hörbuch zu finden. Vielmehr liefert Avi Loeb hier ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für den allgemeinen Erkenntniswert von Wissenschaft für die gesamte menschliche Gesellschaft. Kühn, und gleichzeitig pragmatisch, fordert er nichts Geringeres, als einen Paradigmenwechsel in der theoretischen Astrophysik und Astronomie.
