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

OH HELP BEAM ME UP SCOTTY

We are but mere ghosts, we are spirits soaring, for who can say whether we are alive or we are already dead.

Reminds me of Davros on Dr. Who, now he sounds like him!

First time I've ever agreed with him, lol......

Almost hilarious how DM commenters are lecturing Stephen Hawking!

In some senses he is right. We may all be extiinnguished, just as: the Anatolian Xtians were all extiinnguished; the Jorddanian Xtians were all extiinnguished; the AIIgerian Xtians were all extiinnguished; the Liibyyan Xtians were all extiinnguished; the Tuuniisian Xtians were all extiinnguished; the Syyrriiac Xtians were mostly extiinnguished; the BabbyIonian Jws were all extiinnguished. So yes, there is a good possibility that 'there may be problems ahead'. But all the music, dancing and love in the world, are not going to help us.

A time machine would be great! But, first, it would be great to see how the 4 years of this debacle called Donald Trump went, so we could laugh 4 years in advance concerning his train wreck of an administration!

some one needs brush that mans teeth

Someone let his tyres down.

Man has been he for many 1000s years, and will be he for many 1000s more. Mr Hawking your talking nonsense again.

Although trying to predict a 1000 years hence is very challenging I doubt that human beings will become extinct by then even if we don't leave the planet. I think even civilisation will probably survive.And, besides, we would need to find an Earth-like planet. But even if we receive the telltale signals indicating oxygen and water etc, we couldn't know if it were exactly earth like I don't think? And there might be other intelligent beings on the planet already.

yes i agree , he is probably right

We and our environment are one and there is no quick fix. He should stick to theoretical physics, that way his imagination has no boundaries.

Who cares.

ah- a human hating greenshirt

Bonkers. All the best, Dave

When is he going on robot wars?

I think less than a 1000 years as greed and denial about climate change will be our downfalll

We can pop of to "earth 2" and leave all the immigrants here :-)

Do you really think he writes books when all he can do is twitch an eye? I reckon he is being exploited by others who want to project their own opinions though his electronic voice whilst all he can do is sit there and listen.
