Do we inhabit the cosmos alone? What evidence is there that extraterrestrial life exists? And how can we prepare for contact with an intergalactic civilization? Join Chicago Humanities for another worldly conversation with investigative journalist Garrett Graff (UFO: The Inside Story of the US Government’s Search for Alien Life Here and Out There), theoretical physicist Avi Loeb (Interstellar: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars), and Dan Hooper, Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. This trio will lead audiences on an extraordinary journey into the realms of the unknown as they discuss life beyond our universe and whether or not human beings are capable of going where no man has gone before. 

A book signing will follow this program.
