If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
A snooze button is a poor substitute for no alarm clock at all.
Stephen Hawking
If there really is a complete unified theory that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being. The reason we say that humans have free will is because we can't predict what they will do.
Stephen Hawking
If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form.
Stephen Hawking
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.
Stephen Hawking
If we ever do find a complete theory of the universe, it would be a great triumph of human reason but it wouldn't leave much for us to do. We need an intellectual challenge.
Stephen Hawking
I don't fear God- I fear His believers.
Stephen Hawking
The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
Stephen Hawking
No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.
Stephen Hawking
There are no black holes - in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity. There are however apparent horizons which persist for a period of time.
Stephen Hawking
We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain.
Stephen Hawking
I’m not religious in the normal sense. I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.
Stephen Hawking
I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex.
Stephen Hawking
Hang in there, retirement is only thirty years away!
Stephen Hawking
If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would try to pass them.
Stephen Hawking
A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls... saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality?
Stephen Hawking
The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.
Stephen Hawking
I have so much that I want to do. I hate wasting time.
Stephen Hawking
Children in backseats cause accidents. Accidents in backseats cause children.
Stephen Hawking
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Stephen Hawking
Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.
Stephen Hawking
