Title: Hawking: Aliens may pose risks to Earth
Post by: Wiggs on April 25, 2010, 05:18:49 PM


LONDON - British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking says aliens are out there, but it could be too dangerous for humans to interact with extraterrestrial life.

Hawking claims in a new documentary that intelligent alien lifeforms almost certainly exist, but warns that communicating with them could be "too risky."

The 68-year-old scientist says a visit by extraterrestrials to Earth would be like Christopher Columbus arriving in the Americas, "which didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans."

He speculates most extraterrestrial life will be similar to microbes, or small animals — but adds advanced lifeforms may be "nomads, looking to conquer and colonize."

The Discovery Channel said Sunday it will broadcast "Stephen Hawking's Universe" in Britain next month.

I figure if some super-race of Protoss or whatever was out there they would have found and enslaved us by now.

I look forward to the Mr. Intergalactica in 3010 (bb related).

You've open a can of worms...Some say that there is evidence that they here and have colonies. Peruvian mountain ranges, and under water.

And the thing is, they are soo advance they could come at anytime. I just think they will wait till we fuck ourselves up and finish the job. Less time and effort. And there will be no negotiations. I think if this doesn't happen like that, but happens as a invasion, humanity has one chance to pull together for the first time and not concentrate on race, religion, ethniticity, gender and focus on survival. Fuck the race war shit...

if they are already capable of interstellar travel


the problem is their technology might be SO advanced it would be like us hunting deer

they could just seed some supervirus or something in our water supply or something .....there wouldnt even be a battle

There will be traitors.  They will be promised riches and the finest intergalactic females and drugs that make heroin seem like a cigarette. Of course the will receive non of the as the aliens will betray and enslave them as well.  They might treat traitors worse.

Ha, problem is chances are intergalactic females unless they are those Nordic aliens or whateva the fuck they are, problem will be some ugly non vagina having entities--just mind sex...

~UN, allegedly they are very interested in the fact that we have emotions. Those of their populations that do have it, is very little, emotion is a very new concept...many have no feelings and exist like insects, just doing things.
Now, they don't understand why we kill one another or hoard material wealth, when we can't take it with us. They apparently don't understand that concept

Hawking is speculating... just like sevastase, daddy falcon, and gh15..  

if you "run the numbers"..... and take the probability of a planet having the right conditions for life (as we know it)...and compare it to the estimated amount of planets within our entire universe... (remember theres billions in our galaxy and billions of galaxies)... then its likely you woudl see that the chances for life to have developed on another planet are quite good..

Lots of problems with this premise. A recent issue of The Economist noted this. We've been trying to 'talk' to aliens with radio waves, and only for the last 50-odd years. That type of transmission is rather 'slow' and the distances they have to 'reach' are, hehe, very large. Do you have any idea how long that would take to even get outside our galaxy!? Do people really understand the concept of the light year? And, that's assuming these contacted 'groups' use radio, and, really, why would they, because they are so advanced, etc? I think that we better get used to the idea that we're all we have, and to make the best of it.   ;)

Well said.

As an example, the voyager 1 space probe they launched 33 years ago is moving 10.5 miles per second out of the solar system. If the nearest star is scaled down to a distance of 1 mile away, it's gone less than 3 feet. The length of the galaxy would be around 23,000 miles. You aren't having little green men in a saucer flying around to earth and back just to abduct and sodomize your ass and leave by dinnertime.

You struggling and fighting against your parents, sisters, brothers, at school, at work against colleagues, against citizens of your city, your country, against animals, against plants... our thoughts -cognitions- are fighting each others every single second with the best ones replacing the less accurates ones.

Everything is underlied by instinct of survival. Everywhere. That is the only thing that is absolute in the universe.

there are a few constants, on the micro level, as well as the universal

food......procreation... ..evolution......locomot ion ( if they are intelligent)

after that, its pointless even to speculate.....beings capable of interstellar travel might very well be thousands, if not millions of year ahead of us technologically

physically, they may be unrecognizable

and culturally......well just look at the dissimilarities between all the groups on our planet alone

i know people like to dream whistfully about some higher intellect walking docilely out of the landing craft to unlock the secrets of the known universe to us.......but the fact of the matter is, ANYTIME in history an advanced group makes contact with a group more primitive..........the results have been horrendous for the latter.

PRAY THAT WE GET LEFT ALONE...

I think we have to assume there is no one else out there. Too many people see movies and absorb that stuff when much of it is ridiculous. Like having a conversation in real time with someone in another star system. That is impossible according to the laws of physics. To send a message to the nearest star would take about 3 years to get there then another 3 if anyone were there to reply.

Seti has been scanning the heavens for decades and so far have detected nothing but natural stellar sources. In other words, there are no signals, radio, TV waves, or anything that would indicate artificial sources.

There are supposed to be more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all the beaches in the world. If most stars have 10 planets then the number of possible earth-like planets is staggering. Those are the numbers that give hope to those who calculate the likelihood on life elsewhere in the universe. So far we have life only on this planet and no evidence of it occurring or have occurred elsewhere, even locally in our solar system.

There is no hard evidence that other civilizations have visited earth. If spacemen visit other planets they will be from here.

My guess is that intelligent life is an extremely rare and unusual phenomenon and it could be that we are alone. The odds are that we are not but then the likelihood of co-existing or finding other civilizations is remote in the extreme. The universe is huge beyond what we can imagine. We see the numbers but what do they mean to us? We can see a photo of a galaxy like Andromeda but we don't discern the billions of stars that compose it. We are near the beginning of the space age so the future will reveal plenty of surprises.

What is awesome about this is that one of the smartest people to ever lived has come to the conclusion that things will be just like every alien invasion movie ever made. That makes me LOL.

Aliens would not want to exterminate us, since they would not think like we do. If they even have the capability of getting here and just don't know about Earth, then they are dumb. Since having that capability to travel at light speeds would make them thousands of years more advanced, thus they would have had tons of time to explore and develop better radars and telescope devices.

Plus, this is assuming they are like people and figuring they need to do the logical thing and exterminate people. They may have a better use for us in the way of getting what they want and looking at humanity as a resource.

I doubt they want to use Earth as a vacation spot.

And the thing is, they are soo advance they could come at anytime. I just think they will wait till we fuck ourselves up and finish the job. Less time and effort. And there will be no negotiations. I think if this doesn't happen like that, but happens as a invasion, humanity has one chance to pull together for the first time and not concentrate on race, religion, ethniticity, gender and focus on survival.

The universe has been around for a very long time. Unimaginable, even. If there were older civilizations they would be far advanced from where we are but so far we have had no contact. That suggests the universe is empty of life except for what we have on earth. Life may well be a very rare event requiring special circumstances. Intelligent life would be rarer yet. So, just because the number of possible earth like planets out there might be billions doesn't mean that life is abundant. We don't know. Suppose a civilization like ours evolved somewhere else a billion years ago. Wouldn't they have been able to go to other places in the universe? Well, this is something we don't know. I find the lack of any kind of signals out there a worry. Looks empty and uninhabited. That is what we have to assume until we discover other intelligence.

If we look back at history then the best scientists at the beginning of each century for the last few would not have been able to predict all the discoveries that century. No one predicted the internet or personal computers that I know of. Technology is advancing rapidly. I envy the young guys today because it is going to get exciting in the future. What we don't know is what will happen to man himself. It won't be long before genetic changes will be made by man and virtual supermen created. That would be great to live in those times. Perhaps they will be able to live indefinitely? We really have an exciting future ahead but most of us won't be around to enjoy it.

aliens who can travel thru space dont breed anymore since a loooong time, they have reverse engeenered their genes a long time ago. They produce themselves at will  and are all "perfect" and somehow immortal.
If we go by what the alleged greys look like, then they have very little genetic diversity. They appear insectoid like. As we know, advance being like ourselves need generic diversity to survive diseases and environments. Now, if we go by those "alleged" abductee accounts, they say that these aliens are using our DNA to create hybrids, because they lack genetic diversity and that they are dying out. That's if you go by their accounts...and many of these abductees have stated that genetic materials and sperm have been taken, and the women claim to be impregnated...

This is the most ignorant post built entirely on assumptions I have ever read....

In philosophy we learn that just because you believe something that doesn't make it true. Statements about matters of fact require evidence. In the absence of evidence what is the rational thing to believe? There are no assumptions regarding whether life exists elsewhere in the universe. Going by what we know about life we would expect to find life elsewhere, even intelligent life. However, the fact that there is no hard evidence of any past visits to earth we remain sceptical of any such visits. The universe is vast and travelling between the stars is not something anyone would do unless they had a very good reason to do so. If you had the technology you would send remote controlled vehicles and robots. The time and distances involved are staggering. I am afraid too many here read science fiction or watch ridiculous movies.

If you try to deduce the likelihood of life from the possible number of earthlike planets you end up with an high probability. Therefore, it is not foolish to expect life to exist elsewhere. At the moment, there is no evidence at all. Just because the probability is high doesnt make it true. One of the precious substances we all take for granted is water. It exists no where else in our solar system that we have detected. I find that amazing. Yes, it may exist beneath the ice on some moons around the giant planets but so far it hasn't been detected. At best there might be some ice on the moon and Mars and perhaps some of those remote moons. However, there are no conditions on any of the planets or moons that might support life. When you realize that you become sceptical about life existing elsewhere. I won't be surprised if life is discovered in other parts of our galaxy but it will take some time for that to happen. We keep open the possibility of being visited by extra-terrestrials but so far no one has visited the earth and left anything behind. Had we any evidence of such visits it would be the biggest news of all time and impossible to keep secret. That doesn't stop all manner of people from believing whatever they like about such matters. Just because millions believe something doesn't make it true.

It exists no where else in our solar system that we have detected. I find that amazing. Yes, it may exist beneath the ice on some moons around the giant planets but so far it hasn't been detected. At best there might be some ice on the moon and Mars and perhaps some of those remote moons. However, there are no conditions on any of the planets or moons that might support life. When you realize that you become sceptical about life existing elsewhere. I won't be surprised if life is discovered in other parts of our galaxy but it will take some time for that to happen. We keep open the possibility of being visited by extra-terrestrials but so far no one has visited the earth and left anything behind. Had we any evidence of such visits it would be the biggest news of all time and impossible to keep secret. That doesn't stop all manner of people from believing whatever they like about such matters. Just because millions believe something doesn't make it true.
I agree

Prince Naseem was a bad mother-(shut yo' mouf')
What happened to him?
He really embarrassed those guys.

On 2 May 2005 Hamed was involved in a 90-mph three-car collision at Ringinglow Road, Sheffield, while driving his £300,000 silver McLaren-Mercedes SLR. He was arrested on 3 May, released on bail and later charged at Sheffield Magistrates Court on 3 December[5].

On 31 March 2006 Hamed entered a plea of guilty and was warned he could face jail by a judge at Sheffield Crown Court[6]. The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Alan Goldsack, adjourned the case until 12 May to allow pre-sentence reports to be prepared. The court heard how the man in the car Hamed hit, later revealed as 38-year-old Anthony Burgin, who had attended a number of previous hearings, was unable to come to court because he was in hospital for further treatment. His wife Clare was also injured.

On 12 May the court heard in a sentencing hearing how Hamed had been anxious to impress businessman Asif Goro, who was a passenger in the McLaren-Mercedes at the time of the crash. Hamed was showing what his car could do when he crossed a solid white line at a speed of at least 90 mph and crashed head-on into a Volkswagen Golf that emerged from a dip in the road. Hamed's car then hit a second vehicle, the Ford Mondeo he had been trying to overtake. Mr. Burgin, the driver of the Volkswagen Golf, was very seriously injured, breaking every major bone in his body and suffering bruising to the brain[1]. Hamed escaped unhurt.

Hamed was sentenced for 15 months after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing. He was also given a four-year driving ban. Judge Alan Goldsack told Hamed: "I find it astonishing that the DVLA has not been prepared to co-operate with the prosecution to give them details of your earlier offences - apparently on human rights grounds." The DVLA's decision led to Hamed being sentenced without the judge being told he had previously been banned for a year for driving a Porsche at 110mph on the M1 in Derbyshire. It was also revealed that Hamed had three other previous convictions for speeding offences, details of which the prosecution had to find from court records.

Hamed was granted an early release and left prison on 4 September 2006 after serving 16 weeks of the 15 month sentence. Hamed was placed under Home Detention Curfew for the remainder of his sentence, and monitored by an electronic tag. Anthony Burgin, the driver whom Hamed collided with, said: "I am shocked that after such a serious accident Mr Hamed has been released after less than four months." Nevertheless, the appointment of Hamed to be a "Member of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" (otherwise known as an MBE) was annulled as a consequence of the conviction.[2]

There was also a civil court case rumoured to cost Hamed up to £1 million plus legal costs, as Burgin was deemed unable ever to work again.[7]

Burgin was later arrested and charged with dangerous driving for an incident alleged to have involved Eleasha Hamed (the wife of Naseem) on 19 April 2007. Burgin pleaded not guilty, and appeared in court on 17 March 2008,[8] following which he was cleared of charges.[9]
