Are we alone? Probably not, out of modesty – keeping in mind that about a quarter of all stars host a habitable Earth-size planet.

Last year, the first interstellar object, `Oumuamua, was discovered in the Solar System. In this talk, Avi Loeb describes its unusual properties and the possibility that it carries a technological message in a bottle.

Professor Avi Loeb is Chair of the Astronomy Department, Director of the Institute for Theory and Computation and Founding Director of the Black Hole Initiative, Harvard University.

The Rosseland Lecture is held annually by the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Oslo, in memory of Norway’s foremost astrophysicist, and founder of our institute, Professor Svein Rosseland (1894 – 1985). "
