Stephen Hawking's site is pretty interesting. Talk about a guy that's done a lot of studying and thinking!!

Here's a link to some of his lectures in Adobe PDF format. Click on Public Lectures, then click on 'Life in the Universe' and read all of it till the end. Interesting read!

I read "A Brief History in Time".. very cool book. He is not only a genius, he is open-minded to those questionable areas of history too.

What I like about him is that he explores every possibility, and identifies what is an absolute unknown. Then he lays out all the possibilites with complete logic.
He's not selling an agenda, just utilizing all that he and scientists before him have concluded.

It's also really interesting that, like many scientists, he doesn't put any stock in aliens in spaceships. I wonder what things he knows, but is unable to talk about? Some universities barr him from talking about the end of civilization, just because it's counterproductive to either students or the stock market.
