On a recent Discovery program on the Universe, Stephen Hawking voiced concern about the dangers, he believes, are posed by aliens who may arrive some day on Earth: "To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like..." According to Hawking aliens "would be only limited by how much power they could harness and control, and that could be far more than we might first imagine...Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach...I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet...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."

"The distinction is misleading. Chemistry is applied quantum mechanics. However, what the writer talks about in detail is basically what I have suggested for decades. Indeed our future dark energy cosmic horizon hologram may be the VALIS conscious post-quantum computer that the late I.J. Good called 'GOD(D).'" -- Jack Sarfatti
