Quote by Stephen Hawking

“We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldnt want to meet.

Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach.”

“Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill.
