The scenario, when us earthlings — in guests descend little green men, science fiction exploit as they can. They’ve been angry, good. There can be several types, which are fighting among themselves. They destroyed humanity, he saved humanity, given technology, resources taken away, traded and that only did not do, reports Rus.Media.

Michael Varnum from Arizona State University decided to conduct a study on how people react to the emergence of new intelligent life forms.

Not only decided, but also conducted and published in a scientific journal. According to him, we will meet the guests from space with cautious optimism. “If we are faced with a new form of life beyond Earth, we will be very grateful,” said the study’s author.

Dr. Varnum used the language of regular expressions for linguistic analysis of literature and the press over the last few decades, evaluating the attitude to extraterrestrial life forms. Even despite the terrible occasions like the delivery to Earth of samples of Martian soil (which conspiracy theorists immediately declared infected by an alien virus), impact assessment has always been positive.

In the second part of the study, Varnum asked about 500 people to write about their possible reaction to the emergence of extraterrestrial forms of life, including in such exotic forms as microbes. In this case, the attitude of the respondents was also positive.

According to the findings of the scientist, humanity is much more optimistic about the aliens than to the development of artificial intelligence robots.
