Quote HistoryQuoted:
That's a reasonable assumption. But assuming that they would bring overwhelming numbers, superior military technology and an all out motivation to win, and that their end game would be annihilation of the species or destruction of the planet, is the absolute worst case and perhaps the least likely scenario. It might be more likely that the aliens have some restrictions in how they deal with planetary invasions. They might want to breed us instead of destroying us. They might have some kind of a hunting ethos, that the prey needs to be given some off chance to escape. They might also not like getting their hands dirty at all and instead send in their slaves from other already conquered, yet way less advanced worlds and provide the invading slaves only outdated weaponry (perhaps also captured as plunder from conquered civilizations). Lots of reasonable ways we could have a chance to win or at least secure a military result that ensures long term species survival. And not all of them have to do with the worst Hollywood cliches of bullets beating particle beams, viruses beating aliens that are biologically advanced enough for long range space travel or them having a mothership with a queen or single point of failure, etc. Yes they might destroy us, but they might also save us or influence our development in some yet unimagined ways.

But I agree, if I was wondering about the fuzziness of black holes, he'd be my go to guy. But other posters have provided links to other "science dudes" who have apparently spent a lot more time developing their theories on alien life than Mr. Hawking has. |

I often wondered why NASA hasn't undertaken establishing a satellite system in our solar system to detect the approach of Near Earth Objects and other planetary threats? At least something designed to improve our detection of potentially dangerous approaching object to include asteroids and so forth.
As far as Professor Hawking's fears of Artificial Intelligence I don't think that man and machine will be different entities for much longer. Eventually men will become machines fully integrated with artificial devices and controls. Of course, this could bring about horrible changes to our concept of individuality and personal liberties. However, if you look at what is known about what governments already do concerning the internet and cell phones then look at the fact that only more and more people are using them each year I think it's fair to say that people will not let such concerns stop them. |

Wow. More people get offended if you say something bad about Hawking than if you say something bad about the pope. Pretty clear who is being worshipped here.

I think Stephen Hawking has much more to worry about than aliens. If I were him that's the last thing I'd be thinking about lol. I'd much rather have my life and limited mental capacity than his supposedly genius "intelligence" and his life. That dude can shrivel up and die for all I care.
