Stephen Hawking warned of the risk of aliens invading Earth

This is not the first time Stephen Hawking, British theoretical and cosmological physicist warned of the risk of alien invasion turning Earth into a colony to exploit resources .

The famous physicist said that it is necessary to be cautious when responding to aliens' signals because they can turn the Earth into colonies to exploit the spacecraft material.

Stephen Hawking's warning about the dangers if aliens communicate with the Earth are given in the recent CuriosityStream program, according to CNET.

The famous physicist took Gliese 832c , the extrasolar planet that could survive life only 16 light years from Earth as an example to illustrate his idea.

Stephen Hawking, British theoretical physicist and cosmologist has repeatedly warned of aliens.

"If extraterrestrial life evolves on Gliese 832c, someday, we can receive signals from the planet this way, but we should be cautious about responding. Meet an advanced civilization. As the American natives encountered Columbus explorer in the 16th century. That encounter was not very good , " Hawking said.

"I imagine they can survive on the giant spacecraft after exhausted all their original planet resources. These civilized aliens can become nomads to conquer and invading any planet they caught, I think it would be reasonable to assume that they exploit all new planets to get materials for making more spacecraft and keep moving. Hawking said, " Hawking said.

Hawking's point of view stems from considering the roadmap of intelligent life on Earth. According to Hawking, if the same route is applied to aliens to humans, humans will inevitably suffer the consequences.

"We don't know aliens, but we understand humanity. If you look back on history, the encounter between humans and less intelligent organism organizations often becomes catastrophic in the way you look. Their confrontation between civilization holding high-end and primitive technology also brings bad results to the less advanced side, They can grow before us billions of years. They will be very strong and can treat us like bacteria, " Hawking concluded.

In fact, the famous physicist is also looking for aliens. In 2015, he launched a 10-year project to capture signals from near-Earth stars with powerful telescopes with support from the Royal Society of London.
