Would Aliens attack us?
Alien encounters may seem like sure-fire winners to Hollywood, but one of the world’s most famous scientists thinks they may be “too risky” be be worth seeking.
In a new Discovery Channel documentary, British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking said that communicating with aliens could be a threat to Earth.
Hawking said it is likely that alien life exists, but a visit from extraterrestrials might be similar to Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas.
“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. “We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.”
In the new program, “Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking,” he speculated that aliens’ capabilities “would be only limited by how much power they could harness and control, and that could be far more than we might first imagine.”
He said it might even be possible for aliens to harvest the energy from an entire star.
“Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach,” Hawking said.

If aliens should arrive on Earth from somewhere in space and if they happen to be mentally
superior to us, that alone would be enough to spell our underdoing, no matter what their
intentions might be. Imagine beings with an IQ of ten or twenty times what is normal for a
man. How would we behave with them in our midst? Man is a spiritual being, but we do not
own the spirit. If something better comes along we return to the trees.
