I'm not saying this theory is wrong. I'm saying there's no reason to believe it over the thousand other equally possible theories.
I'm not saying we should marry the theory, just that it's a very possible one with deadly consequences.

One thing is that if aliens do this to each other on occasion, we haven't seen any evidence for it. No stars going out from an alien on alien invasion or planets being wiped out. As far as we can tell with current tech.

If the galaxy is populated with aliens who are advanced enough for interstellar travel and haven't done this, it might be because other civilizations nearby might take them out as well, so there could be something like nukes here on Earth. Lots of countries have them. Lots of countries could use them, but it would be a very, very bad idea for everyone.

Right, but we can't assume that alien civilizations have that mentality. We don't even have that mentality when it comes to trying to contact alien civilizations.
Who's we? An individual might not behave that way but we're such a clusterfuck on this planet anyway. If we did behave that way, it would ironically justify them.

The whole thing assumes they know there are bad guys out there to begin with which is not an assumption we can make of alien civilizations. It could be true, but there's no reason to support the theory as it is.

The mentality behind it is to not take chances, if you're wrong you're dead.

From The Killing Star.

"We ask that you try just one more thought experiment. Imagine yourself taking a stroll through Manhattan, somewhere north of 68th street, deep inside Central Park, late at night. It would be nice to meet someone friendly, but you know that the park is dangerous at night. Thats when the monsters come out. Theres always a strong undercurrent of drug dealings, muggings, and occasional homicides.

It is not easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. They dress alike, and the weapons are concealed. The only difference is intent, and you cant read minds.

Stay in the dark long enough and you may hear an occasional distance shriek or blunder across a body.

How do you survive the night? The last thing you want to do is shout, Im here! The next to last thing you want to do is reply to someone who shouts, Im a friend!
What you would like to do is find a policeman, or get out of the park. But you dont want to make noise or move towards a light where you might be spotted, and it is difficult to find either a policeman or your way out without making yourself known. Your safest option is to hunker down and wait for daylight, then safely walk out.
There are, of course, a few obvious differences between Central Park and the universe.

There is no policeman.

There is no way out.

And the night never ends."

Mostly. This happens only a few pages in, the rest of the book is about humanity's survival when the aliens arrive ahead of the missiles. The moral of the book is that it's a bad idea to send out our radio waves when there could be aliens not wanting to take chances.

The gamma-ray shine of the decelerating half was also detectable, but it made no difference. One of the iron rules of relativistic bombardment was that if you could see something approaching at 92 percent of light speed, it was never where you saw it when you saw it, but was practically upon you...
In the forests below, lakes caught the first rays of the rising Sun and threw them back into space. Abandoning the two-dimensional sprawl of twentieth-century cities, Sri Lanka Tower, and others like it, had been erected in the world's rain forests and farmlands, leaving the countryside virtually uninhabited. Even in Africa, where more than a hundred city arcologies had risen, nature was beginning to renew itself. It was a good day to be alive, she told herself, taking in the peace of the garden. Then, looking east, she saw it coming -- at least her eyes began to register it -- but her optic nerves did not last long enough to transmit what the eyes had seen.
It was quite small for what it could do -- small enough to fit into an average-sized living room -- but it was moving at 92 percent of light speed when it touched Earth's atmosphere. A spear point of light appeared, so intense that the air below snapped away from it, creating a low-density tunnel through which the object descended. The walls of the tunnel were a plasma boundary layer, six and a half kilometers wide and more than 160 deep -- the flaming spear that Virginia's eyes began to register -- with every square foot of its surface radiating a trillion watts, and still its destructive potential was but fractionally spent.
Thirty-three kilometers above the Indian Ocean, the point began to encounter too much air. It tunneled down only eight kilometers more, then stalled and detonated, less than two-thousandths of a second after crossing the orbits of Earth's nearest artificial satellites.
Virginia was more than three hundred kilometers away when the light burst toward her. Every nerve ending in her body began to record a strange, prickling sensation -- the sheer pressure of photons trying to push her backward. No shadows were cast anywhere in the tower, so bright was the glare. It pierced walls, ceramic beams, notepads, and people -- four hundred thousand people. ...The structure began to slip and crash like a giant waterfall, but gravity could not yank it down fast enough. The Tower became vapor before it could fall half a meter. At the vanished city's feet, the trees of the forest were no longer able to cast shadows; they had themselves become long shadows of carbonized dust on the ground.
In Kandy and Columbo, where sidewalks steamed, the relativistic onslaught was unfinished. The electromagnetic pulse alone killed every living thing as far away as Bombay and the Maldives. All of India south of the Godavari River became an instant microwave oven. Nearer the epicenter, Demon Rock glowed with a fierce red heat, then fractured down its center, as if to herald the second coming of the tyrant it memorialized. The air blast followed, surging out of the Indian Ocean -- faster than sound -- flattening whatever still stood. As it slashed north through Jaffna and Madurai, the wave front was met and overpowered by shocks rushing out from strikes in central and southern India.
Across the face of the planet, without warning, thousands of flaming swords pierced the sky...
Just nine days short of America's tricentennial celebrations, every inhabited planetary surface in the solar system had been wiped clean by relativistic bombs. Research centers on Mars, Europa, and Ganymede were silent; even tiny Phobos and Moo-kau were silent. Port Chaffee was silent. New York, Colombo, Wellington, the Mercury Power Project and the Asimov Array. Silent. Silent. Silent.
A Valkyrie rocket's transmission of Mercury's surface had revealed thousands of saucer-shaped depressions where only hours before had existed a planet-spanning carpet of solar panels.
...Presently, most of the station's scopes and spectrographs were turning Earthward, and Isak found it impossible to believe what they revealed. The Moon rising over Africa from behind Earth was peppered with new fields of craters. The planet below looked like a ball of cotton stained grayish yellow. The top five meters of ocean had boiled off under the assault, and sea level air was three times denser than the day before -- and twice as hot...

Probably not, too little gravity.

Just jumping on the surface might propel you into space.
Wiki says its escape velocity is about 3 feet per second. So yeah, you'd need to grapple yourself to the surface. Especially because of the centrifugal force from rotation.

I find it a bit questionable at times. The vast majority of the patients are female and since the show was extended to two hours, more of the episodes focus on their time near their max weights. Plus Dr. Now, who's not a bad guy, is basically commanding these obese women while they have emotional breakdowns. I'm not putting that on Dr. Now by a large percentage but the whole thing is in moral grayness.
