When the story of alien civilizations comes up in our conversation, it’s usually about the search. The matter of who finds who, what happens if they find us or we find them
The renowned physicist Stephen Hawking is trying to warn private Agencies and NASA to stop searching for aliens because he believes reaching out to advanced civilizations could put humanity at risk after all endangering our planet. Unfortunately we've already been broadcasting our location to the Universe already since 1977.
From his online film Stephen Hawking’s Favourite Places, which shows him scientist in a CGI spacecraft called the SS Hawking exploring his favourite places in the Universe, in the film its when he gave the warning.
"As I grow older I am more convinced than ever that we are not alone. After a lifetime of wondering, I am helping to lead a new global effort to find out," Hawking says in the film while exploring Gliese 832c, a planet that lies 16 light-years away and might foster alien life.
"The Breakthrough Listen project will scan the nearest million stars for signs of life, but I know just the place to start looking. One day we might receive a signal from a planet like Gliese 832c, but we should be wary of answering back."
