Hawking: 'Don't approach aliens anymore, before it's too late.'

It is not wrong to say that 2016 is the time when aliens cause fevers, when humans constantly find planets that can sustain life in the universe.

Questions like "How to find them? Where are they? Are they real? What will we do if they appear" . always make scientists (and netizens) chalk encourage.

Earth's position has been exposed to aliens (if it exists).

However, Stephen Hawking - a great tree in theoretical physics - is different. His view is that we should not search for aliens anymore, because of the risks to humanity, the Earth is very high. And he also shared that with what we are doing now, Earth's position has been exposed to aliens (if it exists).

Stephen Hawking: "Don't look for aliens anymore".

Hawking said: "Over time, I have a belief that we are not alone in the universe. In my whole life, I have devoted to prove that truth. Someday, we can receive get a signal from some other planets, but answering it or not should be considered ".

If you don't remember, in September 2016, Stephen Hawking along with billionaire Yuri Milner and Facebook king Mark Zuckerberg kicked off the most large-scale alien search project in history. The project is called Breakthrough Listen , with a total investment of up to 100 million USD.

Hawking's Breakthrough Listen project is headed to search for signals from aliens.

Although Hawking is one of the leaders of a quest for another civilization in the universe, he is also vehemently opposed to people trying to contact aliens - supposedly " potential danger to humanity ".

Because, like in fiction films, aliens can treat people as low-level, weak, slow-growing, easy-to-conquer creatures.

We can find them, but answering their message or not should be considered

"They are much stronger than us, and see us as nothing more than bacteria" - Hawking said. Just like when Columbus found America, aliens would invade Earth like the way white people conquered their continent.

Contacting aliens is not the only threat

Artificial intelligence is also a danger that we cannot ignore.

In October 2016, while lecturing at Cambridge University, Hawking once said that artificial intelligence (AI) could be "the greatest, or worst, innovation that mankind can do."

This idea comes from the fact that AIs have developed to the extent that they can learn by themselves, leading to the ability to overcome people in the near future. People must rely on biological evolution at a very slow rate, while machines do not need it.

"Smart robots can develop themselves, redesign themselves, even self-replicate," said Rory Cellan-Jones, BBC expert. "People are limited because of slow biological evolution will not have the opportunity to compete with the AI ​​anymore."

But this warning may not be excessive, considering that the world is currently obsessed with robots and the discovery of aliens. According to Hawking, people should also consider the consequences they can cause, before it's too late.
