Aliens may exist but contact would hurt humans: Hawking

LONDON (AFP) – Aliens may exist but mankind should avoid contact with them as the consequences could be devastating, British scientist Stephen Hawking warned Sunday.
"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 in a new television series, according to British media reports.
The programmes depict an imagined universe featuring alien life forms in huge spaceships on the hunt for resources after draining their own planet dry.
"Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach," warned Hawking.
The doomsday scenario is suggested in the series "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking" on the Discovery Channel, which began airing in the United States on Sunday.
On the probability of alien life existing, he says: "To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
"The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like."
Glowing squid-like creatures, herds of herbivores that can hang onto a cliff face and bright yellow predators that kill their prey with stinging tails are among the creatures that stalk the scientist's fantastical cosmos.
Mankind has already made a number of attempts to contact extraterrestrial civilisations.
In 2008, American space agency NASA beamed the Beatles song "Across the Universe" into deep space to send a message of peace to any alien that happens to be in the region of Polaris -- also known as the North Star -- in 2439.
But the history of humanity's efforts to contact aliens stretches back some years.
The US probes Pioneer 10 and 11 were launched in 1972 and 1973 bearing plaques of a naked man and woman and symbols seeking to convey the positions of the Earth and the Sun.
Voyager 1 and 2, launched in 1977, each carry a gold-plated copper phonogram disk with recordings of sounds and images on Earth.
Salam,
ReplyDeletePada pendapat saya, tiada makhluk selain malaikat, manusia, syaitan, jin dan haiwan telah diciptakan.
Bayangkanlah jika wujudnya makhluk “alien”, adakah Allah S.W.T tidak mempedulikan mereka? Iaitu tidak memberitahu kepada mereka siapa pencipta mereka. Ini kerana Allah S.W.T hanya menurunkan para Rasul, para Nabi dan Kitab2 di dunia ini.
Allah S.W.T menyayangi hamba2nya dan menurunkan wahyu dan petunjuk kepada makhluknya. Jika “alien” wujud, mereka tiada kitab dan nabi dan pasti mereka sesat. adakah itu adil? tidak bukan??
Bagaimana hendak menjelaskan mengenai UFO? simple. Jin telah diciptakan 2000 tahun lebih awal sebelum penciptaan Nabi Adam. Jin juga mempunyai akal fikiran. Bermakna mereka juga mempunyai ahli cerdik pandai. Dalam masa 2000 tahun adakah tiada apa2 teknologi yang telah dibina oleh mereka? pasti ada!!!
Kita di zaman 2012. Hanya 2000 tahun selepas masihi manusia telah mencipta berbagai teknologi. Kini manusia merentas benua dalam masa beberapa jam. Bagaimana pula jin? Kalendar jin adalah 4012!! tak mustahil piring terbang yang berkelajuan tinggi telah dibina!
Seringkali kita dengar bahawa terdapat pertembungan antara “alien” dan manusia. Persoalan nya kenapa? Jawapan – untuk menyesatkan manusia. Itulah janji Jin kepada Allah S.W.T bukan?
Kenapa kita perlu mendengar kata2 dari saintis barat? mereka mengikut logik akal sahaja. Bagi mereka semuanyer adalah sains. Mereka sibuk mencari planet kononya terdapat kehidupan selain bumi padahal di dunia ini hanya beberapa peratus sahaja yang telah diterokai.
