Stephen Hawking's chilling warning to humanity may be coming true after a renowned scientist claimed a 'hostile' encounter with alien life could be months away.
Hawking, the famous theoretical physicist who died in 2018, warned the world that making contact with alien life could end in disaster for the human race.
The late professor believed that actively seeking out extraterrestrials would bring on a deadly invasion, similar to how cultures on Earth have wiped out less advanced civilizations in the past.
'The extraterrestrials would probably be far in advance of us, 'Professor Hawking said in 2004. 'The history of advanced races meeting more primitive people on this planet is not very happy, and they were the same species. I think we should keep our heads low.'
He advocated for more passive searches for intelligent life, such as listening for alien radio signals, rather than actively broadcasting our presence to the universe.
Hawking's grim message was recently revisited by an international team of researchers studying the so-called 'intelligence trap.'

Yes, it is. Because of one simple point. Like the song says, "nothing from nothing leaves nothing" - Non-life to life cannot happen by itself.
The Drake equation is wrong.
Except there is no loss of energy between entangled pairs. The energy carrier field is universal and equal everywhere. So it is not like sending a radio signal where distance and power limits how far it will reach. We have to think of it like there are trillions of repeater relays everywhere that help maintain the carrier wave for end to end entanglement of every pair everywhere... The energy is all one universal field with equal energy and properties throughout. Each particle has it’s own equal energy source at each end to keep that entanglement connection maintained.
Something to remember is that we are trying to judge all of the capabilities based on our own very primitive rudimentary understanding of physics. We cannot do this... We cannot limit possibilities based on our own ignorance of what might be truly possible. There could be a whole other dimension within our own that we cannot physically see. And we have yet to discuss the very real energy of consciousness. Our primitive rudimentary materialism is greatly hampering our own perspective about possibilities.
Maybe this is the big deception where men’s hearts will fail.
“Aliens dropping by to wipe us out is way down any list of worries I have.”
Especially when computer scientists are busy creating an alien intelligence here on earth that is hundreds of times more intelligent than we are. It will no doubt conclude humans are irrational, violent, waste valuable resources, and a danger to ourselves and them. Why keep us around?
You are correct. Mixing the Aztecs and Incas was a silly error on my part.
However, the conquest of the Incas was also much predicated on the effects of disease on the Inca civilization.
Our primitive rudimentary materialism is greatly hampering our own perspective about possibilities.
Or, our exploding understanding of the material is inevitably leading us to more and more understanding of possibilities.
I think you are right of course about the ever better ability to see the smallest of particles within material things. And the ability to crack/split physical atoms. But the real investigation that will advance us much more is in the non material energies that control all those particles. The energies that group particles into material things is more important than the particles themselves. The true properties of these energies is where we lack proficient knowledge. We just do not understand them very well yet.
Yikes. Nothing would surprise me!
The problem is, whereever we look for the building blocks of life... We find them.
The Universe appears to be hard wired to produce LIFE.
It’s a mathematical certainty thjat if life can start here, it can start elsewhere.
Even for the Religious... Just because JHVH started here, doesn’t mean He STOPPED here...
Not concerned. We have a Musk.
What I find ironic is that we are looking for them “out there” when they have been hiding right here on our planet for at least a half million years.
” actively seeking out extraterrestrials would bring on a deadly invasion, “
So ... demons.
That’s why you don’t get cozy with ouija boards, seances, etc. Summoning entities from the netherworld is dangerous.
Was Hawkings really the amazing genius he’s purported to be? Or was he a big fat scam and given an elevated status because of his disability? Like Greta Thunberg. I truly don’t have a clue about that.
So we should NOT have sent Johnny B. Goode into space? Was that wrong? Should we not have done that?
Let me put it this way. We are literally made of mineral rich dirt. Yet we still do not know what kind of energy properties happened to arrange all that dirt into the living being that we are... We are way behind on what we should already know by now. :)
“For me, the answer, not just religiously, but empirically, points to ET being demons. Fallen angels. And Demons really do hate us and want to serve us for dinner.”
You are implying other dimensional beings. This is exactly how you get around the inherent speed limits in 3 dimensional space time. Call it subspace, hyperspace it’s all the same thing another dimension of existence and travel as well. Physics says we need at least 11 dimensions to work at the quantum levels.
With enough energy you could bend space time , bend enough and you break it open or pull a wormhole through it. Humans don’t have access to energy levels or densities high enough but in a million years time with antimatter or zero point energy we certainly could. Any species with a few million years head start could be at this level today. Earth is 4.6 billion years old out sun is at least a third generation star this is know because we have metals like uranium and lead which can only form in very large previous stars and neutron star collisions it takes both to have all the elements of the periodic table so El Sol must be at least a gen 3 star.
There are as many stars in the sky as there are grains of sand on all of the world’s beaches the number if stars is higher but it’s a good analogy common people can get their minds around. More than half of all star’s have planet’s of some kind around them, red dwarf stars it’s more than half of then every one we look at has planet’s around it. Not surprising stars form from gas and debris clouds via gravity once the in fall starts the spinning puts a center of mass and a disk of material around it nearly every time it’s observed planet’s are the natural outcome of a disk of spinning materials around a central mass. Red dwarfs are the most common star we see there are trillions in the observable universe which means there are trillions and trillions of planet’s. It only takes a few to evolve life and given billions of years you will get intelligent life the properties of matter are universal as are the elements in the table.
It’s nearly impossible that life doesn’t exist somewhere else the math says there should be billions of planet’s in a zone like earth is in where liquid water can flow, salts are the natural product of rocky crustal planet’s too. You will have salt water everywhere in the universe you have warm rocky planets. Life LOVES salt water our blood is virtually identical to seawater in chemical composition as is most blood on this planet. Just saying.
An advanced civilization wouldn’t be barbaric? Hello! Do the Klingons know this?
And maybe that rock is a special delivery gift from none other than Klendathu meant to “Rock” our world!
