Does stephen hawking know something we don't?

[bigfoot3000]

Lots probably!Lol, This is about aliens though! http://uk.news.yahoo....-warns-h-870a197.html

He's the cleverest man on the planet and so i would definately follow his advice.

[bigfoot3000]

He's not short of a braincell or two dot!

[naomi24]

Possibly.

[naomi24]

^^I'll rephrase that. I imagine he knows a lot that we don't know.

[askyourgran]

I'm still trying to work out how this mathematical genius can work out all this theory by numbers.

[jake-the-peg]

I wouldn't say he's necessarilly the cleverest person on the planet but he's probably the cleverest person most people have heard of.

Murray Gell-Mann's probably top of my list or you could make a case for Frederick Sanger as he's the only living person to have been awarded two nobel prizes

Sorry to be unimpressd but Hawking's view was based solely on probability, based in turn on the unimaginble number of possibly life-bearing planets in the universe.

He can know no more about such life than my milkman does.

[Davethedog]

My bet is the cleverest man on the planet, is a short order cook in Bejing or an bushman in the Khalahari or Aussie outback.

I'm not a-scared about no extraterrestrials. I'm sure their perfectly capable of defending themselves from the likes of us and will only want to serve us. Hmm, I wonder if they like Big Mac's?

Wasn't so clever in picking the second wife was he?

[naomi24]

Chakka, there's no doubt he knows no more than anyone else about extraterrestrials - but I'm sure he knows an awful lot more about other things than most of us.

[chakka35]

Of course, naomi. And when he talks about those other things I bow to him.

[naomi24]

Exactly Chakka.

[AB Editor]

he certainly isn't the first to say it!

Perhaps our greatest concern should be the possibility that we might in fact be visited by beings such as our selves. Heaven forbid we should get what we have coming to us.
