Humans will NOT survive another 1,000 years on Earth, says Stephen Hawking: Physicist warns we must 'escape beyond our fragile planet'

So people are ruining their living environment then moving on to somewhere else to do the same . Sounds familiar doesn't it?.

It will be sooner than many think, checkout Worldometers Population growth......Scary.

Would he like to go on ahead to see if it's safe?

Considering how he has defied rather long odds against his survival he's not the best person to be making predictions.

It's easy to make predictions, when there is no possibility of proving him wrong!!

I read Daily Mail so what the hell do I know.. But I would be shocked if we last another hundred years without blowing the place up. Global warming will not wipe us out.. arming rogue nations will.

Population. As there are more people on the planet, the population will rise faster as births outnumber deaths and soon the growth will be exponential. It will come to the time when humanity has exhausted the resources and living space of the Earth and must move into space in search of new resources. But even that is not enough. We must expand outwards at a rate which is greater or equal to the population growth and consumption of newly discovered extraterrestrial resources. As the population increases faster and faster, eventually we will need to expand into space at the speed of light, such is humanity's voracious appetite. That will probably be the limit of humanity...

So we move to another fragile planet with our exact same problems as a civilization? How about we clean up the mess here first? Besides, you know a bunch of holly rollers will not leave.

25 years ago I heard we'd be under water if planet got any warmer. Well, it got colder. It will end on God's time.

1000 years? Lucky if we last 10, the way things are going.

We are trapped on this floating piece of space rock and heading for oblivion in the not too distant future.

Oh well that's life.

I seriously doubt if mankind will survive another 50 years.

Actually I'm suprised the worlds super rich haven't already got a bolt hole on Mars. It's either that or reduce the surplus population.

And how long has it taken the voyagers to leave our solar system?

indeed, some places are becoming dangerous, makes a sociopath responding with more anger, humans have shown that even after the most created madness, they hardly come down to any sort of understanding or compassion.

not much of a prediction. there are several ways that an extinction level event can happen in 1000 years.

Re: "...Humans will NOT survive another 1,000 years on Earth, says Stephen Hawking: Physicist warns we must 'escape beyond our fragile planet'..."Given the fact that hominid reproduction and greed are BOTH, (horrendously), out of control, I tend to agree with Dr. Hawking's 'spread out, intergalacticly, OR go extinct' observation!I support E. Musk / others, preparing for Mars terriforming / colonization efforts, and, over the next couple of centuries, I expect that space travel will be about as routine as the 2nd voyage of that 14th century monster, C. Columbus!

I would not be in this planet so I'm gd

Every pub has a bloke like him in it. Where does he drink?
