What is happening outside the Earth is really mysterious. Scientists are really curious about extraterrestrial life. But, Stephen Hawking warned that if people keeps on contacting the so called Alien it may be harmful to the Earth.

Stephen Hawking as many would know is a physicist. He warned that people would probably stop contacting the Aliens. Hawking's explained that reaching out for the advanced outside life could put people and the Earth in an unwanted risky situation. He added that it is already given that people already broadcasting planet Earth to the universe for years.

Stephen Hawkings sends his warning using an online film called Stephen Hawking's Favorite Places. The film showcases the famous scientists in a spacecraft named the SS Hawking exploring the places which he loves the most in the Universe.

In the film,while exploring the planet Gliese 8326 which might able to foster alien life, located 16 light-years away , Hawkings said, "As I grow older I am more convinced than ever that we are not alone. After a whole life of wondering, I am helping to lead a new global attempt to find out."

However, regardless of the efforts that Hawkings made to find the intelligent life in the universe, he is one of the people who talks to them. This is contradicting about what he had said earlier. He also admitted, that what he was doing endangers the life of humanity, especially as the extraterrestrial life might find humanity on Earth as inferior, weak and easy to conquer, according to Science Daily.

Stephen Hawking said in an interview with the BBC, "[Artificial intelligence] would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded."
