The world famous physicist has admitted that if aliens came to visit Earth, the outcome might not be a positive one

Stephen Hawking has tackled the mysteries of the universe his entire life.

Now the world-renowned scientist has some new things to say about a potential alien invasion .

"If aliens visit us, the outcome could be much like when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans," Professor Hawking told El País .

"Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach," he said.

The salves in Rome revolted to.

Seriously, maybe they will, maybe they won't. My shoes may start talking to me. My dog might fly. The grass may form a union. Lots of maybes, especially if the multiverse proves to be fact.

Would someone explain to me why this is newsworthy:?

At this point-—PLEASE DO INVADE!!

Seriously, what would they really want with us if they’re so advanced? Create a little virus, wipe us out, the planet is theirs. No fuss, no bother, no waste of resources to invade....

Which is why I don’t think there are aliens. They would have done it by now.

Did you know our most beloved president Abe Lincoln was responsible for the hanging/slaughter of thousands of innocent native Americans? Google it. Mass murderer.

Well, maybe IF there were such a thing as “advanced aliens”.
^The Question Media Doesn’t Ask^

Mr. Hawking, as a scientist, where is the positive satisfaction (AKA: Proof) of your hypothesis regarding advanced [extra-terrestrial] “aliens”?

The illegal aliens are doing a good job of conquering us as well.

They absolutely could. If they make it here, the advanced weapons systems and capabilities will make their conquest very easy.

Maybe it already happened and they are disguised as humans (more or less) and have leadership positions in our government.
After they work overtime to demoralize and destroy us and when their work is complete, they invite their comrades to join them here.

Their resume their real appearance, which is slimy and has awkward appendages which they enjoy placing in various body cavities. For instance they can actually remove their heads and place them in the cavity for excretion.

They make a movie of their earth conquest. It’s a comedy because humans are so stupid.

Why any self respecting alien would come to this obscure (one of billions) planet in this obscure (one of billions) galaxy is far beyond me. See what I did there? lol

Considering that we have never seen, detected or uncovered ANY evidence of alien life Hawkings seriously damaged his credibility....

Hawking has just joined the ranks of Bill Nye and Neil Degrasse Tyson.

At least Michio Kaku admitted he ran into a brick wall and went his direction. Hawking still thinks he did something with his life.
