The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

HOLY CARP!!!
Very timely in light of Stephen Hawking's lecture at Georgetown yesterday:

Quote:
 
"One option is that there likely isn't life elsewhere. Or maybe there is intelligent life elsewhere, but when it gets smart enough to send signals into space, it also is smart enough to make destructive nuclear weapons.

Hawking said he prefers the third option:

"Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare," he then quickly added: "Some would say it has yet to occur on earth."

So should you worry about aliens? Alien abduction claims come from "weirdos" and are unlikely."
