E=mc2 Quotes (3 quotes)
If the same holds for intelligent aliens [as with our own invention of nuclear bombs], then they might not last long. Perhaps they all blow themselves up soon after they discover that E=mc². If civilizations take billions of years to evolve, only to vanish virtually overnight, then sadly we've next to no chance of hearing from them.
From Discovery TV series, Into the Universe With Stephen Hawking (2010). As quoted on nbcnews.com webpage, 'Hawking: Aliens may pose risks to Earth' (25 Apr 2010). He warned that rather than actively trying to communicate with extra-terrestrials, humans should do everything possible to avoid contact.
There once was a cat named Albert’s pet,Whose physics ideas you wouldn’t forget, It solved E=mc^2, With a twitch of its tail and a mew,Proving cats can be smart, that’s a sure bet!

There once was a man with wild hair
Whose equation was truly rare
E equals M C squared
And when people stared
He’d say, “It's all relative, I swear!”

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
