quiet or the aliens will kill you?
Perhaps the most sinister explanation for why we haven't heard
from aliens is that any civilization that reveals itself gets obliterated. But
why? How? And how likely is that to happen?
According
to the late Dr. Stephen Hawking and a number of other thinkers, one of the
reasons why we can’t seem to detect a signal from an alien society is because
marauding species are on a mission to destroy any advanced life in a quest to
eliminate any possible competitors for cosmic resources and potential enemies
before they have the technology and weapons to defeat them. But given the
vastness of space, the abundance of resources in it, and the rarity of
spacefaring intelligent life, does this idea actually make sense?
