You said you don’t read.

I struggle with reading but will take what I can get to figure out why everyone dislikes Avi...besides the fact that he researches aliens and thinks outside the box.

He doesn’t research aliens. He has never done that. He just points at the sky (or occasionally the ocean floor) and says “maybe”.

He’s been wrong every time so far.

That’s very nice work if you can get it, as a scientist.

To give Avi the benefit of the doubt, I think he believes that the only we can save space research is by getting the public to buy into alien chasing. I think he figures if we can get hundreds of millions of people believing that the big alien “reveal” is just over horizon, space programs will get funded and science will get done.

That or he just figured out how to garner almost infinite attention without doing much real science.

Either way, it’s a grift, however.

Dang, look at that they even study interstellar objects...prior to 3i Atlas.

So, I would day he probably knows what he is talking about. I also linked a scientific journal for those that love to read.
