Scientist Claims Trying to Contact Extraterrestrial Life Forms is a ‘Terrible Idea’
Article by Joshua Smith April 4, 2021 (dailystar.co.uk)
• Michio Kaku, author and Professor of Physics in New York City, told the ABC documentary “UFOs: Seeing Is Believing” that he thinks it is extremely unlikely that extraterrestrials have ever visited Earth. Kaku is open to the idea of “civilizations a million years ahead of us in technology”, but says that the notion of attempting to contact these advanced aliens “is a terrible idea”.
• Kaku’s bases his opinion on the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs. “We all know what happened to Montezuma when he met Cortés in Mexico so many hundreds of years ago.” If Earth does go ahead and try to make contact with other civilizations, Kaku thinks we should do so ‘very carefully’, despite his belief that they would ultimately be friendly.
• “Soon we’ll have the Webb telescope up in orbit and we’ll have thousands of planets to look at, and that’s why I think the chances are quite high that we may make contact with an alien civilization,” said Kaku. “Now, personally, I think that aliens out there would be friendly but we can’t gamble on it. So I think we will make contact but we should do it very carefully.”
• Professor Daniel Drezner is more willing to believe that extraterrestrials are here with us now. Drezner noted that the UFO report signed off by US President Trump could reveal super-smart aliens are visiting us in peace. His claims came after the US former director of national intelligence John Ratcliffe revealed the Pentagon files included declassified intelligence of aircraft “that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom”.
• Jane Buckle, 68, would also disagree with Professor Kaku. She recently told the Daily Star that she was abducted on March 1st and after spending an evening with extraterrestrials, she gave birth to an alien-human hybrid whom she is now raising.
Contacting aliens “is a terrible idea” and that “we can’t gamble on it”, a top scientist
has warned.
String theorist Michio Kaku, who is Professor of Physics at the City College and City University of New York, has had a number of books published including New York Times Bestsellers Physics of the Impossible, Physics of the Future, and The Future of the Mind.
He previously told ABC documentary UFOs: Seeing Is Believing that he thinks it is extremely unlikely that extraterrestrials have ever visited Earth, but that “we must keep our minds open to the possible existence of civilizations a million years ahead of us in technology”.
Citing the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs, Dr Kaku told The Observer that while Earth could soon be able to make contact with aliens, he does not think that we should reach out to them.

Dr Kaku added that if Earth does go ahead and try to make contact with other
civilizations, we should do so “very carefully”, despite his belief that they would ultimately be friendly.
He said: “Soon we’ll have the web telescope up in orbit and we’ll have thousands of planets to look at, and that’s why I think the chances are quite high that we may make contact with an alien civilisation.
“There are some colleagues of mine that believe we should reach out to them. I think that’s a terrible idea.
