Linda Moulton Howe posted this quote from Stephen Hawking on her news site
Earthfiles. She's always ahead of the curve, and so it is one of my sites that I visit daily. I found the quote to be really enlightening.
Michio Kaku, who is also a Theoretical Physicist, has often said during his conversations with Art Bell on
Coast to Coast AM that "aliens" would likely not pay much attention to us because they are so much more advanced than we are. They would look upon us like we look upon ants...there's not much that we can learn from the ants and the ants can't even begin to comprehend us.
However, Hawking brings another interesting perspective to the table. Thanks for sharing Linda.
“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. ... 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.” - Stephen Hawking, Ph.D., Theoretical Physicist and Mathematician
