Both very good.
And I hope when that book comes out, you'll come back and see us.
I would be delighted.
Professor Dr. Avila, thank you so much.
It's been a treat.
Thanks for having me.
Bye, everybody.
All right, so that's Avi Loeb.
And I got to be honest, I really enjoyed that conversation.
He's not what you'd expect from a Harvard professor.
There's no ego about him.
The guy was offered a spot in Israeli special forces and said, no, I'd rather think.
And that kind of tells you everything.
So here's what we can verify.
Avi Loeb is the real deal.
Frank B. Bair Jr., professor of science at Harvard, chaired the astronomy department for nine years, over a thousand published papers.
He was selected for the Taupe Program, Israel's most elite military science unit, at age 18.
He got a fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, where Einstein worked.
He's tenured at Harvard in under three years, where the average is seven.
So these aren't claims, these are public record.
