We are lucky to have Hawking as long as we have with his condition. Wish Sagan could have been around longer.

Any other intelligent life out there probably doesn't want anything to do with our disease ridden race any way.

no joke we are so pathetic if you think about, if you have to think hard my point is made.

Why, feel free to go ahead and take the first step to improve our pathetic, disease-ridden race. Because obviously, any other intelligent life form out there has somehow managed to do better than stupid, corrupt, evil mankind.

I think the reason we haven't seen the Aliens in public yet is because most of them are too busy playing their very advanced games. Such as what we will have in 20 years from now.

Any other intelligent life out there probably doesn't want anything to do with our disease ridden race any way.

Yes.

Any other intelligent life out there probably doesn't want anything to do with our disease ridden race any way.

Yes, because our diseases would certainly have an effect on creatures with an entirely different biology.

[Not Espi]

Yes, because our diseases would certainly have an effect on creatures with an entirely different biology.

How come nobody cares about diseases THEY might have.

*cheeks still spread btw*

Yes, because our diseases would certainly have an effect on creatures with an entirely different biology.

We don't know if they do. Diseases are capable of mutating to infect both animals and humans, why not alien lifeforms as well? A foreign disease that their race has no immunity against could decimate their population.

The odds are also against it to a staggering degree. We're not talking about smallpox infecting two different groups of humans here. In fact, I would even say it's different from diseases transmitted between animals here on Earth.

There's a faint chance, I'll grant you that. But I'd put it somewhere in the realm of "getting struck by lightning seven times and surviving" - yeah, it might happen, but don't count on it.
