British world-renowned theoretical physicist Stephen hawking alien life has Narratived that how alien creatures may look like in his mind for a new Discovery Channel video documentary series: "Into the Universe," according to reports of Courier Mail News.
Hawking, 68, pointed out that the universe has 100 billion galaxies, each with hundreds of millions of stars, and that in such a huge 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. "The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like."
Stephen hawking suggested that extraterrestrials exist not just on planets but also in many other parts of the universe, perhaps in the center of stars or even floating in space.
"If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans," Hawking warned in the documentary.
Hawking also suggested that while most aliens are probably microorganisms or simple animals some could be intelligent and pose a threat to humanity.
His views are expressed in a new documentary made for the Discovery Channel. In it he points out that the universe has more than 100 billion galaxies, each containing hundreds of millions of stars. In such circumstances, Earth is unlikely to be the only planet where life has evolved, Hawking claims.
While many forms of life may be little more than microbes, Hawking says a few life forms could be intelligent and pose a threat to the human race. Aliens might simply raid Earth for its resources and then move on.
"We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and settle as a colony whatever planets they can reach," Hawking says.
"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," the scientist says. While there may be benign aliens out there, Hawking says trying to make contact is "a little too risky".
It took three years to complete the documentary which was a major challenge as well as a triumph for 68 year old Hawking who is Paralysed by motor Neurone disease and has very limited powers of communication.
John Smithson, executive producer for Discovery, said, "He wanted to make a Program that was entertaining for a general audience as well as scientific and that’s a tough job, given the complexity of the ideas involved." 'Into The Universe with Stephen Hawking' started on the Discovery Channel yesterday [Sunday April 25]. The broadcaster has described the Program as a new kind of cosmology series.
"It takes the world's most famous scientific mind and sets it free, powered by the limitless possibilities of computer animation. Hawking gives us the ultimate guide to the universe, a ripping yarn based on real science, spanning the whole of space and time -- from the nature of the universe itself, to the chances of alien life, and the real possibility of time travel."

I would suggest that any race of beings capable of mastering interstellar travel would be smart enough to stay away from the human race.
After looking at the Hubble telescope images - there is no doubt far more is out there than our ego's can fathom. We know nothing yet claim to be top dog - well woof woof - silly humans.
This person has terrible grammar. Hawking is not capitalized. The made up word 'Narratived" is.
"Narratived that how alien creatures may look"?
Dude!
thanx post;)
