Our Universe Made by Aliens in Lab

You might be familiar with Abraham (“Avi”) Loeb, best-selling author and former head of the astronomy department at Harvard. He has previously gained attention for his assertions that extraterrestrial civilizations won’t respond to our messages for 3000 years, that Oumuamua may have been an interstellar spacecraft, and for launching the Galileo Project, a new initiative that is currently looking for signs of technology created by extraterrestrial civilizations. He said that our universe was made by aliens in a lab.

It goes without saying that Loeb is a seasoned authority on all things alien-related. He has returned with a fresh idea on the universe and extraterrestrial life, and we must say, it’s a very unsettling one.

This week, Loeb wrote an opinion piece for Scientific American in which he made the unlikely claim that an “advanced technological civilization” might have created our priceless and enigmatic cosmos in a laboratory. According to Loeb, “an intelligent civilization could have invented a technique that manufactured a baby world out of nothing by quantum tunnelling” because our universe has a flat geometry and zero net energy. What do you think? Is it correct to say that our universe was made by aliens in a lab?
