Stephen Hawking warns over making contact with aliens

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8642558.stmI love (and agree with) this quote from Hawkins:

“We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.”

Pitiful isn’t it?

Stephen Hawkins spouts more rubbish than politicians these days, I think he’s lost the plot.

Bit of a silly thing to say but I’d tend to agree with him if the question was asked to me.

Stop space exploration and start putting the money into building hover boards instead, like in Back to the future. I want one of them, god damnit.

If aliens do want to colonise us they’ve probably got the timing wrong - e.g. it would have been better to mount the invasion when we were throwing spears at each other - rather than at the moment when we could probably chuck an SS20 nuclear ballistic missile in their direction if things turn nasty.In the meantime I guess there are more immediate and pressing concerns to worry about than the possibility of an alien invasion.

I think a few may already have landed around where I live:)

Have you been on the cocktails again? :wink:

F e c k aliens :alien:

What’s black and sits at the top of the stairs?

:stuck_out_tongue:

Do you own a cat?

If you was asking me that question, then yes I do :slight_smile:

we’ll all look back and regret not listening to this one day when they are destroying our world and we are being forced into mating programs with their kind. :slight_smile: (ok, ginger wont) but the rest of us will. :smiley:

He explained: “We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.”

Its Ok, I think he was only talking about americans :smiley:

hang on a minute, i was in that pub ln friday night:P

Cool guy, but the advice is a bit late - how long have we been belting out trash TV? If I was an alien and picked up an episode of “The Price Is Right” or summat, I’d be right over to mug those yoomans.

Very…Friedrich Nietzsche said “the world is beautiful but has a disease called man”. I’m finishing my teleportation machine soon and moving to K-Pax… Beam of light didn’t work…

Stick around - this place needs more Nietzsche quotes! :wink:

I’d ‘do’ an alien… :Whistling:

You’d ‘do’ anything, which is why I why cast iron underpants when your around. :smiley:

I think Hawking got it right, we have become more and more belligerent. You would have thought with learning and understanding would come tolerance, but I think the world has only known a few days in which there was no war in the last 200 years.

Most wars are due to either money or religion. Perhaps we should start to remove both?

You must have got excited there Kev, your grammar is all over the place :wink:

It keeps happening at the moment. No exactly sure why. Perhaps slowing my brain to the rate of my fingers would help. :pinch:
