Contacting alien life forms in the universe could invite them to 'rule Earth'

NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will allow scientists to look even further and deeper into space, but if we find alien life and attempt to make contact, it could have dire consequences


A top scientist said contacting alien life is a 'terrible idea', and his words have been interpreted as a warning of inviting other species to 'rule Earth'.

It comes as NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is set to launch later this year and it will peek into worlds at the far reaches of the universe, reports The Next Web.

Currently, the Hubble Space Telescope is Earth's most famous piece of space seeing technology but the JWST will go much, much further.

Such is the power of NASA's new telescope that some scientists fear it could disturb alien species that are unaware of our existence and maybe they will not all be friendly.

String theorist Michio Kaku told the Observer that the new telescope will allow people to look at thousands of planets but we should think carefully about reaching out to their inhabitants.

Michio Kaku said: "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 civilisation.

"There are some colleagues of mine that believe we should reach out to them. I think that’s a terrible idea. We all know what happened to Montezuma when he met Cortés in Mexico so many hundreds of years ago.
