This may not be the news you want to hear, but a leading astrophysicist is convinced we’re all animals in an elaborate zoo run by aliens.
From Metro: And these aliens could be inflicting ‘weird politics’ on us for a laugh, apparently.
Neil deGrasse Tyson reckons we could be in a state of blissful ignorance about our extraterrestrial overlords.
Wired reports that he told guests at the Starmus conference in Tenerife: ‘I fear the day we come upon a species such as that.
‘Maybe I don’t fear it, I just hope that all they would do for us is create a zoo where we are happy. And maybe that is what they call Earth.’
But he’s not entirely convinced aliens would be interested in us.
He said: ‘A sufficiently intelligent civilization would have positively no interest in us at all.
‘In the same way as when you’re walking down a street and there’s a worm there.’
Tyson clearly holds the human race in low regard, as he warned that Professor Stephen Hawking’s intelligence might only measure up to an alien toddler.
