Stephen Hawking says nomadic aliens might crush us
Many of Stephen Hawking's recent pronouncements have been slightly dire.
He worries about artificial intelligence. We evolve so slowly that it could simply stomp us out, he said last year. But there are other threats. In an interview with Spain's El Pais, the world-renowned physicist said he feared aliens might destroy us. He said it might be worse that when Columbus turned up in the Americas. "Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach," Hawking told El Pais. "To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. View Quote I am thinking they will be so advanced they won't have any idea how to protect themselves from primitive weapons like a bullet. |

Eh, nobody seems to be able to repel terrestrial aliens, so we're pretty much fucked when it comes to the ET's. |
|
I'm thinking we find a hot-shot, cocky pilot laden with one-liners that is black and a Jewish computer-expert working well under his potential to fly a capture alien fighter and plant a virus in their mothership before we nuke it anyway.
|
|
Why, I bet you could make a movie about such a scenario of nomadic aliens invading earth. If someone hurried they might even be able to get into theaters before next Independence Day.

Considering our distance from the nearest potentially habitable planet, if aliens could make it here, they would need some incredibly advanced technology. If they had the tech to warp space and time, their weapons tech is certainly going to be way out of our league.

Why does anyone listen to anything that guys says/types/drools?

We can't get that lucky... you know this!!
But if it does happen, and we break down into militia units a la falling skies, I call dibs on the hot young latina medic... just putting it out there now.. |

It's amazing that a man so limited in mobility can still continue to jump the shark

Quoted: Quoted: Why does anyone listen to anything that guys says/types/drools? Please be joking. Not in the slightest bit. This "announcement" is Exhibit "A". "Nomadic aliens might destroy us". How brilliant is that? Jeez, know what? We might not get destroyed by aliens. |

Since I doubt our CinC can fly a plane, can we just duct him to a SAM and let it do its thing? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Exhibit B
"Science can prove God doesn't exist" from the guy who says "Nomadic Aliens Might Destroy Us". Hawking comes across as a bitter man. |

Yeah, it makes me really wish someone would get off their ass and finally make a good alien vs earth style movie! Clearly its never been done |

Or nukes, or Yellowstone, or an asteroid, or solar radiation, or the communists, or the devil, or god, or time travlers, or cern, or hfcs, or ice age, and so on. Why worry about something hypothetical.

If an alien species capable of reaching us with the desire to conquer us actually decided to do so, everything on the planet they wanted dead would be dead before we even knew they were there.

It's all about resources man. Didn't you learn anything from 'Prometheus' and why they built their bioweapons?

Nomadic space aliens? I welcome and look forward to sexy time with our Quarian overlords.

An operator must utilize his battle space capabilities with maximum efficiency to be a force multiplier in asymmetric combat scenarios, thus neutralizing all terrestrial or extraterrestrial threats.

We were probably pretty safe until "big mouth" opened his suck and gave them ideas. OpSec much Hawking?
|
|
Could go either way, nomadic space aliens might destroy us, we might destroy them, or we might forge a beautiful relationship and they give us FTL capabilities

Based on the actions of the nomadic alein in the White House I'm with Hawkins on this one.......

Sounds like the Crackers in Stephen Baxter's novel Manifold: Space.
Many thousands of light sail ships, wiping out humans all over the Solar System. They converge on Mercury, they want the metals to build lots more light sail ships and a machine to blow up the Sun, which will propel their ships to new destinations. |
