On a new Discovery Channel documentary called Stephen Hawking’s Universe, the legendary theoretical physicist advised that if we countered intelligent life, it might just be best to ignore them.

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 colonize whatever planets they can reach.”

Intelligent life elsewhere in the universe was quick to respond.

“Stephen Hawking can go to Hell,” said Glog, of the Tryphoidian Galaxy, in a message not due to reach earth for 14,000 light years. “He doesn’t come to our parties. He’s always ‘on the line with someone else,’ Screw him. I announce that all life-forms outside the Earth ignore Stephen Hawking.”

Hawking refused to comment on Glog’s comments, simply stating that the two had issues that went well back and it was best for everyone if they didn’t delve into them now.
