This creates some interesting postulations.

1. There are very few or no technological alien races. If there were, one of them would have likely caused the proposed disaster and destroyed the universe.

2. There are plenty of technological alien races, but the danger is not as great as Dr. Hawking proposes, because they managed to get past this threat without “destroying the universe.”

3. We’re the most advanced technological race in the universe (subset of 1 of above?).

3. All projections are wrong and there is no “god particle” and this is all balderdash.

or another possibility:

5. This already has happened and we are all caught in some bizarre space-time loop in which events keep repeating themselves - and this is why we keep electing Democrats.
