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 hate America crowd is truly delusional.

Wow, Mr. Super genius just stumbled onto a notion that Science Fiction writers have been postulating for at least 70 years now.

[Olog-hai]

Because the less-than-advanced aliens are no problem, right?

[Farmer Dean]

Advanced aliens could conquer and colonize our planet. One possible solution to the Muzzie problem.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Ourse they could. Or maybe they couldn’t. It’s one or the other. No two ways about it.

Dr Hawking, meet Captain Obvious.

The salves in Rome revolted to.

The man is a genius, I tell you! (Or, someone propped him up in front of a TV watching “Independence Day” all day)

“Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach,”

Would there be alien liberals who would regard us as
“noble savages” too? Welcome to casino Earth?

Yes, I’ve lost many many nights sleep over this.

You mean like Ben-Gay?

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

The owner will have something to say about that. He has some demolition and renovation work in the plans. It does not include aliens.

[MNJohnnie]

An advanced species would take one look at us and say “Um NO, not worth the trouble” and simply push a large asteroid on us.

"Advancing aliens": Isn't this what Trump and Carson have been warning us about?

[Sacajaweau]

I don’t like Hawking...He makes up things cuz he likes the publicity. I wish he was humble like Einstein.

[corkoman]

We will make great pets.

[Mercat]

So sad. He keeps trying to be relevant. Shut up Stephen. No one cares anymore what you think.

This is the ‘Genius’, that said we didn’t need God because we had ‘gravity’. Another of his brilliant remarks was,’If time traveled backwards you could buy a winning lottery ticket’.
