Stephen Hawking Puts An Expiry Date On Humanity

Stephen Hawking believes that humanity has less than a thousand years on Earth before a mass extinction occurs, the leading theoretical physicist said during a speech Tuesday at Oxford University Union, U.K.
According to Hawking, the only way humans can avoid the possibility of extinction was to find another planet to inhabit. At the talk, Hawking gave a one-hour speech on man's understanding of the origin of the universe from primordial creation myths to the most cutting-edge predictions made by "M-theory," which presents an idea about the basic substance of the universe.
“We must also continue to go into space for the future of humanity,” he said. “I don’t think we will survive another 1000 without escaping beyond our fragile planet.”

Earlier this year, the 74-year-old predicted that technology would lead Earth to a virtually inevitable global cataclysm.
“We face a number of threats to our survival from nuclear war, catastrophic global warming, and genetically engineered viruses,” he said in January. “The number is likely to increase in the future, with the development of new technologies, and new ways things can go wrong. Although the chance of a disaster to planet Earth in a given year may be quite low, it adds up over time.”
Hawking reportedly added that finding another planet was the only chance of survival.
“[We] have spread out into space, and to other stars, so a disaster on Earth would not mean the end of the human race,” he said. “However, we will not establish self-sustaining colonies in space for at least the next hundred years, so we have to be very careful in this period.”
Since 2009, NASA has been working to discover Earth-like planets that can support life.
The discovery of more than 2,000 planets has been confirmed so far and over 4,500 “planet candidates” are waiting to have their existence confirmed.
“The first exoplanet orbiting another star like our sun was discovered in 1995,” according to NASA. “Exoplanets, especially small Earth-size worlds, belonged within the realm of science fiction just 21 years ago. Today, and thousands of discoveries later, astronomers are on the cusp of finding something people have dreamt about for thousands of years.”

I don't think we can leave. I think we have it all wrong. This guy is just like Plato or Aristotle and in 1000 years we'll have a little smirk at him but appreciate his efforts.

Why do you think that? Can you explain?

I've had this thought too, like is the "rest of the universe" really there? Or is this world kind of like the Truman show where our little space ship runs into a black painted wall? :wink:


I get the concept, all is God and life is a dream but what's to stop us from claiming our birth right and colonizing the universe? Think of all the adventures we can have! Humans... in space! :smile:

Yeah so that's sorta it but the world is actually Being or Consciousness. It has levels and kind of, like, things to unlock. The situation is a problem to be solved, a conundrum, within the field of YOUR experience.

So yeah I mean we can go rockin' it in the stars but I think we're SUPPOSED to be here.

The worldview Hawking is based on is just really, really wrong. Positivism is silly. Experience is primary, not a "secondary quality"

Of course we could leave, evolution baby, the next step. A fucking rock or dirty snowball is going to smack into us at any time now. We need a wake up call, like a fucking tunguska event type thing hitting a well populated city, killing thousands. Then we might rethink things. A bunch of monkeys staring at the ground I swear.. Or their phones. Take off the blinders, have you ever seen the moon? So many impact craters they over-lap each other. The earth is the same way, but we have this thing called erosion and plate tectonics so a lot of these craters are covered up and lost in time. Because of that people didn't realize until just recently how often these massive earth changing impacts occur. You guys can meditate and look within here on this rock all you want, living in the delusion that this isn't a cosmic firing range, I'd rather be flying through space doing that while a comet is hitting the earth. At the very least we should be putting more into technologies that can identify and change the trajectory of these objects so we can keep the world we know.

It's a goddamn warning is what it is. Get our shit together, or face the consequences.
