British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking says aliens likely do exist, according to the London Times. In fact, the results could possibly be “catastrophic,” Hawking said. Hawking, who’s promoting a Discovery Channel series entitled “Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking,” finds the possibility of extraterrestrial life to be quite realistic, but knowing their nature will prove to be quite a challenge. Would they ever have to use payday cash advances is one of many questions inquiring minds might have, although that is unlikely to be the first question scientists will ask. ”If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in The US, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,” cautioned the Cambridge professor.
Stephen Hawking: Aliens may look to colonize other worlds
When it comes to the development of intelligent life, Stephen Hawking realizes that aliens might be much like human beings. Humanity has frequently resorted to violence as a means of keeping bloodlines flowing. Survival of the species could also have motivated alien races to violence over millennia, Hawking postulates. “I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet.” Wandering colonies in search of a new home that is rich in resources are conceivable.
”We are not along” is more meaningful than ever
Since at least the 1970s, scientists have attempted to contact extraterrestrial life. U.S. space program milestones like Pioneer 10 and 11 as well as the Voyager missions are a few major examples. In an attempt to test alien music appreciation, scientists broadcast the highly appropriate Beatles’ number “Across the Universe” toward Polaris in 2008. Red Orbit indicates the signal won’t arrive there until 2439. By then, quick personal loans may be an intergalactic venture. Stranger things have happened. If sci-fi video games like “Mass Effect 2″ greet your character with intergalactic payday advances ads when they’re in spaceport, why can’t fantasy inform reality? Stephen Hawking’s aliens scoop didn’t exactly delve to the field of short term consumer finance, but that does not mean the service won’t appeal to interstellar travelers short on dilithium crystals.
