Aliens Won't Save Us Warns Hawking
by C. L. Cook
 Volcanoes, tornadoes, wars and earthquakes, melting ice caps and disappearing glaciers all are not bad enough these mad, latter times; now, planetary Uber brain, Stephen Hawking tells us not to count on any heavenly encounters of the extraterrestrial kind to pull this weary race's fat out of the fire.
Hawking tells the London Times, not only are alien races mathematically certain, they're just as likely too to be marauding remnants of dead planets, desperately seeking an island of refuge in a very large sea. He suggested, should Earth be visited by such a crew, the results would be far from welcomed, saying;
"If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when
Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very
well for the Native Americans."
