외계생명체가 지구에 찾아온다고 해도 ‘맨인블랙3’와 같은 영화에서처럼 인간을 공격하거나 노예로 만들 확률은 적다고 미국의 한 전문가가 밝혔다.
지난 35년간 외계지적생명체탐사 (SETI : Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence)에 종사한 천문학자 질 헌터는 지구까지 찾아올 정도로 발달된 문명을 가진 외계인이라면 노예나 음식, 다른 행성들이 필요 없을 것이라 말했다고 스페이스닷컴이 보도했다.
타터는 ‘외계인들은 지구의 자원들을 착취하려 할 것’이라는 저명한 우주물리학자 스티븐 호킹 박사의 말에 반대한다면서 “만약 외계인이 온다면 단지 탐사목적일 것”이라고 말했다.
또한 그녀는 우주의 크기를 고려하면 지구 외에 다른 생명체와 마주쳤을 가능성도 높다고 말했다.
타터는 최근 SETI 연구소장 자리에서 물러나겠다고 밝힌바 있다. (코리아헤럴드)
‘Aliens won’t enslave humans’
Will aliens endanger Earth like in movies? One alien hunter says not likely.
Extraterrestrial intelligence that is evolved enough to reach Earth probably will not want to enslave or attack humans, according to renowned astronomer Jill Tarter.
Tarter, outgoing director of Center for SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute, said such alien species would have technology so advanced that they would not need slaves, food, or other planets, Space.com reported Friday.
Tarter said she disagree with famous British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking who said in 2010 that extraterrestrial life is likely to be predatory and could try to exploit Earth’s resources.
“If aliens were to come here, it would be simply to explore. Considering the age of the universe, we probably wouldn’t be their first extraterrestrial encounter, either.”
