| Hawking proves that space aliens can't be any scarier looking than he is. |
Warned Stephen Hawking:
"We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach."
He concludes that trying to make contact with alien races is 'a little too risky'. He said: "If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans."
Well, you don't have to be a disabled genius astrophysicist to know that. All you had to do was watch Independence Day or the re-make of War of the Worlds!
And if you've ever listened to Sarah Palin or Tom Tancredo, then you know we should also beware terrestrial aliens who are nomads looking to conquer and colonize whatever countries they can reach.
