PLANETARY BRAIN

Hawking warns against contact with aliens

On the probability of alien life existing, he says: "To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational," says British scientist Stephen Hawking.

"If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans," said the astrophysicist. "Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach," he warned.

The doomsday scenario is suggested in a series on the Discovery Channel. The programs depict alien life forms in huge spaceships on the hunt for resources after draining their own planet dry.
