One that unconditionally believes in the existence of extraterrestrial life and one that completely ridicules the whole thing. So, who’s right? Should we spend time and resources searching for technologically advanced alien species? Or is it all just a waste of taxpayers' money? And what does all of this tell us about the mainstream scientific community? Here today to discuss this with me are Dr. Garry Nolan, Professor of Pathology at Stanford University, and Dr. Avi Loeb, Professor of Science at Harvard University. Garry and Avi have made significant contributions to this field and are incredibly open-minded, so it was a pleasure talking with them about this. Join us as we dive deep into UAP research, alien biology, the panspermia hypothesis, religion, philosophy, and much more!
