Many Americans have gazed up into the vast night sky only to wonder if we’re all alone in the universe. Well, according to Stephen Hawking, an astrophysicist who is regarded by many to be among the world’s leading scientists, the answers is obvious: We are not alone.

Is it naïve to think we’re alone in the universe? Stephen Hawking thinks so …

The revelation comes from a new Discovery Channel documentary titled "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking." As the Times Online reported, Hawking points out that “The universe … has 100 billion galaxies, each containing hundreds of millions of stars. In such a big place, Earth is unlikely to be the only planet where life has evolved.”
“To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational,” he said in the Times. “The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.”
Aliens’ Intentions Are Not Friendly
Perhaps most compelling are Hawking’s unsettling ideas of what an alien encounter might be like on earth, which sound much more like a scene from “War of the Worlds” than “E.T.”
“If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans,” Hawking said.
He expanded that aliens may be similar to microbes or small animals, and may even exist in areas devoid of planets, such as floating in space or inside stars. A few may also be more advanced life forms, which Hawking described as "nomads, looking to conquer and colonize."
It may seem like a wild stretch of the imagination. Yet “it is food for thought.” The concern of course is might we become the food for an alien species, especially given our massive abundance in population … similar to the TV series “V”?
Communication with such creatures would simply be “too risky,” according to Hawking, who also suggests Earth-dwellers may be unwise to advertise and broadcast their location to any alien within extraterrestrial earshot.
Certainly makes you think twice about the $4.6 million of taxpayer money spent on funding for the “Alien Array Telescope.” This technological marvel has been trying to communicate with aliens for five years now …
