BBC) – Aliens almost certainly exist but humans should avoid making contact, Professor Stephen Hawking has warned.
In a series for the Discovery Channel the renowned astrophysicist said it was “perfectly rational” to assume intelligent life exists elsewhere. But he warned that aliens might simply raid Earth for resources, then move on.
“If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,” he said.
Hawking did go off the record stating, “There is a small, .0000000076% chance that an alien species would have a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, however.”
The distinguished professor did stick around after filming to answer questions and sign autographs.
can we fix Planet Earth before worrying about outer space?
Hawking is correct!!!!
