If Aliens Call, We Might Not Want To Answer, Says Stephen Hawking
huffingtonpost ^ | 23 Sept 2016 | Hillary Hanson

Listen up, NASA. Stephen Hawking has said it before and he’ll say it again: If extraterrestrials call, do not answer ― at least, not without careful consideration.

Well, we’re convinced. NASA, we really hope you’re listening.

Since aliens live by the same rules we ought not expect them to contact us first.

Many thousands of aliens cross the Rio Grande and into Texas per month. Nothing new to us.

Intelligence and wisdom are not equivalent.

Hawking is smart, but not wise.

If the aliens are so much more advanced than we, and have evil intent toward us, there is nothing that we can do to defend ourselves.

Hawking is an atheist (boy is he in for a surprise - as are all atheists), and of course does not see God’s purpose in creating this planet and man uniquely for His own glory....and he’d laugh at such a thought.

That’s ok.

Life on other planets? Perhaps. C.S. Lewis saw it as a possibility (his Space Trilogy). But if so, man is still the only thing in all creation created in God’s image.

We’re sending out radar and satellite links that we can’t bring back. It doesn’t matter if they “ask” or we “correspond” - we’ve already told the universe we’re here, and they can learn a lot from those signals beyond the fact someone is creating them.

Meh. Since a reply would take a coupla thousand light years (at least) to get to the ET invaders we’ll be ready by then, either to conquer ‘em or to hand the keys over to ‘em and see if they can do a better job managing the joint.

Predators are always at the top of the food chain. Even if they don’t want to eat us, they will most certainly be predators.

Why do you think space aliens are bad, but not ILLEGAL ALIENS?

Right.

This planet is scary and strange enough:

China’s Conquest of Internet, ICANN + Quantum Encryption
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3473008/posts

[one snippet ...]

Quantum entanglement is the act of fusing two or more particles into complementary “quantum states.” In such states, no particle can be independently described, instead the particles exist in a hazy shared quantum state that “collapses” when observed. Quantum encryption thus takes advantage of this feature, using it to detect would-be eavesdroppers, whose presence causes quantum states to collapse and reveal their spying to legitimate parties. Additionally, the complexity of quantum mechanics makes it virtually impossible to reverse engineer the quantum key generated through quantum entanglement.
