Stephen Hawking Warns Not To Contact ET!!! Danger Danger Danger!!!  

wow, don't know what to do but to avoid contact like the man said...but if true it's going to be a great and giant leap for man towards understanding how GOD functions or what he has in mind, kind of predicting what GOD is about to do next...absurd, it'll never happen, that's why we use the saying Man proposes and GOD disposes.

Must the unknown always be evil?? Aliens who have the ability to travel light years would also carry a high intelligence. I know that will disappoint movie makers and book writers.They have probably already been to Earth. I wonder if they found intelligent life here.

He does have an argument and a point. Come to think of it, Columbus actualy has no intention of harming the natives. It's just that by nature, people are usually afraid of something new. When we are afraid, we tend to be guarded and this may sometimes be interpreted as hostilities.

The idea of other life forms in universe as nomads seeking planets to destroy is also very much possible. Now aren't we glad we are not yet visited by these world destroyers.

A little more than a hundred years ago, flight was almost impossible. And a little more than 50 years ago, moon was almost unreachable. Who knows what we are going to see in the next few decades.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed and good luck.

I'd rather meet this aliens than not.....When white people came to Africa, even though they conquered and colonized, they somehow changed Africa for the better.

OH yea another job justification and given the latest developments in the economic and political avenues here in US, the space race may very well be put to a break, let alone further contact attempts. Its not to say there is no chance some eccentric billionaire may just fund such new ventures or we still will do at the cost of us tax payers. The chances of those vehicles getting destroyed in space are great, due to meteors or some orbiting planet. We wasted billions of money on useless events like them, justifying meantime jobs and programs in US

I was reading the science editor (can't remember his name) in my UK Independent that even if there is life it is about as keen to contact us as we are to contact them - ie not very keen. Lack of contact is fine so far as I'm concerned. After all the nearest we've come to life so far is possibly some bacteria on Mars

I personally think that any aliens advanced enough to get here will probably be civilized enough to hide themselves from the barbarians, which is us. The other scenario is that they are so shocked at our cruelty to each other that they just wipe us out without contact.

Either way, Dr. Hawking may be right. Unless we get our act together, I think they might be dangerous to contact. But I think they will ignore us, as we would the ants on the ground.

Sounds creepy

Seriously why are they always talking like we have never had contact with any other civilizations? Do some research and see what you will find. What Stephen Hawking is saying is only the relative truth. A small article like this one will never be enough for a real researcher to be convinced. This is barely the tip of the iceburg, and he just sounds like one of the fearmongers. Trust me you will never find any valueable news from the major news channels. They never tell us what really goes on.

The consequences could also be very beneficial as well. If a species has adequet knowledge to travel thru space they very well may look at us and decide to help us evolve to a more caring people.
