You guys are looking at this universe through the eyes of scarcity. The universe is a vast; infinite and abundant place with billions upon billions of planets and resources.
WMAP determined that the universe is flat, from which it follows that the mean energy density in the universe is equal to the critical density (within a 1% margin of error). This is equivalent to a mass density of 9.9 x 10-30 g/cm3, which is equivalent to only 5.9 protons per cubic meter. Source

(Trying to avoid the notice of aliens is) typical fear based logic and (project)ing our own shortcomings into the aliens.

And for all of you who think that if ETs can cross interstellar distances they must be benevolent, don't you think that you would have been saying the same thing about the europeans who crossed the oceans to come to the americas? Look what happened there. . . Being able to travel a long way is not a sign of peacefulness. Every time that a less advanced civilization has been confronted by a more advanced civilization, the less advanced one gets the short end of the stick.

What I get from Hawkings thought on this is that if an alien species has the ability to travel through space for long periods of time and distance their would be no reason to make contact with us primitive beings on Earth unless we had something they wanted. And if we had something the alien species wanted there's nothing we could do to stop them from taking it.
We can stay in some galactic closet, arm ourselves to the teeth and be afraid of everything, or we can go out there and try to make some new friends.

He suggests that 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 colonise whatever planets they can reach.”

Wisest response in this entire thread.

Maybe TBTB hate the Aliens, because the rest of humanity would love them. It's all about power and greed.
Just throwing that out there.
I thought it was a stupid statement by Stephen Hawking that Aliens are here to take our natural resources. Our fossil fuels? Fossil Fuels for deep space travel?
Also a guy who believes in time travel, but did not once mention the idea of a parallel universe.
