Why should humanity not make contact with aliens?

Renowned scientist Stephen Hawking says he opposes the search for extraterrestrial life, because it could be dangerous.

Hawking admitted that the longer he lives and explores the world, the more convinced he becomes that humans are not alone in the universe. However, he urged scientists to approach this reality with caution.

Stephen cited the example of the Native Americans and Columbus. The Indians were fierce, bloodthirsty, and posed a great threat to the crew. The scientist said that it is possible that this situation could be repeated with extraterrestrial civilizations.

He recalled that the recently discovered planet Gliese 832c could have life on it, as it is very similar to our planet. Stiven Hokking urged the world not to rejoice and not to make hasty decisions, if we receive a signal from that planet, because we do not know anything about the possible temperament of the creatures there.
