Talk about judging by one's own standards.
And that photo is horrible.

Re: Hawking warns over making contact with aliens
Unlikely aliens would hear us anyway, since our TV radio signals etc merge into background noise at 2 light years. Does one hear a tree falling to the ground in a forest if there is nobody there?

And does the light in the fridge really go off when you shut the door?

Re: Hawking warns over making contact with aliens
We are certainly making a lot of noise, and that isn't changed by the existence or otherwise of aliens.
Or is it?

I generally warn against making contact with anyone that lives beyond the Iranian Hospital.

Re: Hawking warns over making contact with aliens
So if Aliens make contact with us, who will be first to proselytize them?
Islam? Scientology? Mormons? Catholics? Hare Krishnas? American evangelicals?
I recall watching a documentary that talked about early 20th century popular discussion on life outside of earth . There was mention of evangelicals proclaiming they would proselytize to the Aliens.
