Hawkings - Not as smart as he seems

I rather take my chances with ETs....we are a nation that rapes and kills 6 month old babies, waterbords people just for the fun of it....billions upon billions go missing every second on our planet, we have serial killers, kidnappers, people who pay to torture others, mothers who after giving birth don't want they're babies and so they put them in the microwave or oven, cults that brainwash people to be servants, people who skin animals alive or burn them alive....what can ETs do to us that we have not done to ourselves?

@CO

There is more to a biosphere than fossil fuels.

They are among us already

Here is the kicker- They aren't grey or green or white. They look JUST LIKE US.

surprised? don't be. They are made by the same god. The same stuff. They've (relatively)experienced the same things we have at one time in our past.

If they were going to take over, they probably would have already.

Besides, they need people who share their views and who have dual alliances. People who they can trust but were born on this planet.

Also, who is to say that the life on earth wasn't implanted here in the first place? I still don't think this is the human home world but we live on a jewel and shouldn't forget it.

aliens

It is a well known secret that aliens visit the earth. In the US we have a special problem. After sightings of UFO's cattle mutilations begin. They take the blood, internal organs, cheeks and tongues of cattle. I have seen the research on this and the cuts on the animals have been intercellular meaning no single cell was damaged and cuts were made inbetween cells. The skin appears to have been reduced to liquifaction as hairs fall back into the cuts and solidify. We can aproximate this in a lab using lasers but we always leave a carbon rind whereas their cuts don't. A pink fluid exists around the cuts and incisions that predators like coyotes won't touch. When anylized it can't be identified other than nothing can grow in the liquid. Every drop of blood is gone with not a drop anywhere to be found, interestingly the arteries and veins do not collapse as under normal bloodletting.

Human abductees tell very similar accounts of horrble and painful science being performed on them with strange gouges, cuts, indentations and implants. We have scientifically removed 3 implants of abductees across the country and all three had similar implants, a biological sheath made of a hard material that has the same DNA of the abductee with a center of a hard metallic substance that cannot be broken, cut, damaged in anyway whatsover. It also defies identification of what the material is made. We have identified 75 different alien races. We have recorded plant noises of UFO's as they pass overhead and we have identitfied similar or identical plant signatures from the 50's and 90's recorded years apart and from different parts of the world.

We believe a conflict is coming over the fate of our world with the aliens and that is why the United States has been rapidly seeking and developing advanced weaponry as the aliens have shown they can defend themselves against all our current inventory of weapons.

Seriously?

For an interstelar race to travel to us it would require technology that would probably remove the need for fossle fuels... Soo.... seriously... Why would they be hostile. Logicly when you remove the need for survivle you remove the need to destroy.

Aliens Is Amongst Us

I always thought Bubbles DeVere looked a bit green around the gills, init?

Hawking watched ID4 one too many times

This is purely the stuff of science fiction. While the likes of Independence Day and War of the Worlds may inspire such paranoid fantasy, recognize how much energy would be required to transport an entire civilization to this planet. That surpasses by orders of magnitude the energy required to produce any resources available on this planet. Same logic applies to "mining" the earth and transporting those resources back to the alien planet.

aliens and the UK

well its abitlate for not contacting aliens,take a look at shropshire and mid wales in the UK, we have at least two alien bases here and they have regular contact we humans. google radnorshire.....

Aliens

Hawking missed a minus sign in his equation. We have been visited by aliens already. The are far more advanced than we are and peaceful. They have found us to be barbaric, fighting one another and killing each other. There are aliens less advanced than we are and cannot leave their planet for obvious reasons. We must go to other planets in peace, not as Columbus who came here killing natives and stealing the resources.

Duh!

The message is clear, drink more milk and learn Karate if we stand a chance defeating the alien demons!

...and stop reading tabloids like the inquirer...

people!!!! READ the BIBLE!!!!

Life in Space?
● Scientists have long speculated that there may be millions of intelligent civilizations on other planets circling distant stars. Now some of them are not so certain. Back in 1966 Soviet astronomer Dr. Iosif S. Shklovsky coauthored a book entitled “Intelligent Life in the Universe.” But since then Dr. Shklovsky has apparently had second thoughts, and last year he wrote in a Soviet journal: “It looks as though our sun, that strange and solitary star surrounded by a family of planets, is most likely a rare exception in the stellar world.”
And more recently, the New York “Times” reported on a computer analysis of hypothetical stars and planets conducted by astronomer Michael H. Hart. “His conclusion is that, far from being common, civilized life must be exceedingly rare and the one we have on earth may even be unique,” observes the “Times.” Hart also pointed out that if our own earth were even 5 percent closer to the sun or 1 percent farther from it, temperature extremes hostile to life could develop. Additionally, Hart believes that the fact that no sign of extraterrestrial life has ever been discovered is significant.
In the Bible, the Creator indicates that, at least now, the earth may be unique as a planet hosting living creatures. His Word says: “As regards the heavens, to GOD the heavens belong, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.”—Ps. 115:16.
Christians, though, have no need to be disturbed over the speculations about present or future life on other planets. Man was placed on the earth, and we are told in the Bible that righteous men will continue to live here throughout eternity. (Ps. 37:29; 115:16; Eccl. 1:4)

Timing makes it unlikely

Hawking is correct about the potential danger, but considering that Humans have been around for 100K years give or take out of the millions of years this planet was habitable. And, considering that stars and planetary systems develop over vastly different time frames. There is probably a greater liklihood that Humans will become extinct before such an encounter would occur.

Aliens ?? Really??

INDEED !! AN INTERESTING CONJECTURE AND THEORY BY A GREAT MIND.

HOWEVER, I COULD OFFER MORE SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE OF DEMONS AND PROVIDE MORE USEFUL INFORMATION THAN A "GUESS ABOUT ALIENS".

Hawking is right.............

Well that's a no-brainer coming from the smartest man in the universe. The Fermi Paradox has smart people scratching their heads and wondering where are all the space faring races. Maybe there are none, maybe they as scare as hens teeth, or just maybe the are predatory species that eliminate competition before it can evolve into a species with interstellar travel. If interstellar travelers were as benign as Captain Kirk then we should be all sorts of evidence out there.
