Calzetti et al. / CC BY 4.0 (adapted) Loeb, who recently made headlines following his discovery of mysterious spherules on the ocean floor that he believes were part of an artificially constructed meteorite, detailed his own views on the possibilities of alien life during an interview on Fox News.

Of particular interest was his view that an advanced alien civilization might have mastered the ability to create new universes in a laboratory and that our universe may have even come about this way.

"A very advanced scientific civilization is a good approximation to God," he said."Imagine a cave dweller visiting New York City and seeing all the gadgets in technology in terms of the lights appearing as a miracle to the cave dweller."

Also during the interview, Loeb noted that it is "arrogant of us to think that we are alone" considering the "tens of billions of planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone and hundreds of billions of galaxies like the Milky Way in the observable volume of the universe."

"Perhaps noticing a neighbor will be a wake-up call that will bring us together, speaking of humanity as a whole," he said.

"There might be many more neighbors that are far more accomplished than we are, and we can learn from them. So my hope is that it will bring humanity to a better place in the long term future."
