    Stephen Hawking on extraterrestrials

    I'm wondering if the science minded will embrace the narrative about future interactions with extraterrestrials more and more. Satan might play into that narrative eventually, maybe just after the Church has been raptured ?

    http://www.foxnews.com/science/2017/...id-aliens.html

    "Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has once again opened up about his fears and warned the world to be hesitant about making contact with alien life.

    He said planet Gliese 832c potentially had alien life but said humans needed to be wary.

    “One day, we might receive a signal from a planet like this, but we should be wary of answering back,” he in the documentary, Stephen Hawking’s Favourite Places.

    “Meeting an advanced civilisation could be like Native Americans encountering Columbus. That didn’t turn out so well.”

    He claimed alien life could be "rapacious marauders roaming the cosmos in search of resources to plunder, and planets to conquer and colonise”.

    His fears have not changed since he first spoke out about it on the Discovery Channel in 2010.

    He said as he grew older he became more convinced humans were not alone.

    “After a lifetime of wondering, I am helping to lead a new global effort to find out,” he said.

    Planet Gliese 832c has five times the mass of earth and a similar temperature.

    It’s been described as an inhabitable super earth, that’s 16 light-years from our planet.

    A light-year is about 9.5 trillion kilometres, which sounds like a lot, but in the perspective of space it’s not that far.

    Mr Hawking has also warned earth could become as hot as Venus as a result of climate change.

    He told the BBC climate change could turn the planet into a hothouse, and Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris Climate agreement to reduce CO2 levels could accelerate the threat.

    “We are close to the tipping point, where global warming becomes irreversible,” he said.

    “Trump’s action could push the earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of 250C, and raining sulfuric acid.”

    Hawking also said humans may have to consider life on a planet elsewhere because of the destruction of earth due to climate change.

    Live Science reports experts don’t believe earth could hit those extreme temperatures because it is further away from the sun than Venus and doesn’t have a carbon dioxide atmosphere as thick.

    Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Man said: “Hawking is taking some rhetorical license here”.

    “Earth is further away form the sun than Venus and likely cannot experience a runaway greenhouse effect in the same sense as Venus — ie a literal boiling away of the oceans. However Hawking’s larger point — that we could render the planet largely inhabitable for human civilisation if we do not act to avert dangerous climate change — is certainly valid.”

    It's an alien who doesn't agree with Hawking

    The narrative has developed since I was a kid from the improbability of there being life out there to the certainty of there being at least some form of life out there, based on principles of evolution - the notion that under certain conditions life simply generates. The next notion is that it would be arrogant to believe that we are the most advanced civilization and that there are no lifeforms with interstellar travelling capabilities, this basically follows from the above. The question then is if they have already found us or if they suddenly will in the near future. The numbers dictate that it would be almost certain that they have been around for millions to billions of years or that they will find us only in millions to billions of years from now. The version where they have been observing us for millions of years and make formal contact when they think the time is right, is the most likely one since they are supposedly way ahead of us. It seems likely to me that when godlessness takes fully hold then that narrative will grow on the science minded.

    The ultimate false flag will be "extraterrestrials". All (most) will turn to the state for "protection".

    An other possibility is where they are or seem real and the governments of the world are swayed into submitting gladly. The scenario from the original V series may not be that far off a possible future.



    A strong delusion might make Satan more than the implicit ruler of this world, for a time.

    Correct, one world government.

    I watched an episode of the Twilight Zone some weeks ago and now I know where the original V series stole their idea from. Rod Serling did it first.

    Rod Serling was a true genius and based on his themes probably a believer.
