There is forthcoming world destruction. Stephen Hawking has been telling his audience that man has created technology that can destroy the earth but he has not been equipped with the ability to escape from it.
According to the world-renowned physicist, technology has advanced so fast and this tremendous pace may destroy humanity by way of biological or nuclear war. The only way he sees that can control the impending destruction is by logic and reason as reported by Daily Mail.
Professor Hawking said that a governing body that encompasses the whole world is the only hope of mankind. However, it would also create more problems. But he also believes that man can rise up to meet the challenges
The 75-year-old Cambridge University physics professor named climate change, overpopulation, and diseases are some of the threats not only for the human but for the planet. He suggested that there is no cause for worry if humankind will work together.
He reiterated the environmental challenges that beset the present generation - epidemic diseases, climate change, overpopulation, scarcity of food, and acidification of the oceans. They are reminders that presently the world is in the most dangerous moment.
Man's intelligence has enabled him to create technology that will eventually destroy the Earth and he has not yet developed the ability to escape the impending doom.
He also shared his predictions hundreds of years in the future. The robots that were created to help man will also the ones that destroy him. The only hope is to establish human colonies in other planets but this can take hundreds of years. At present, Earth must be preserved.
The onset of robotics and making robots to digital assistants, the self-driving vehicles that man created, and the full development of artificial intelligent will also cause his destruction. While technology learns to self-think and adapt to the human environment, man is also slowly going towards extinction.
Although the advancement of AI can benefit man in terms of eradication of disease, war, and poverty, it has its negative effects. What is alarming is his explanation that man will survive if he becomes multi-planet. This was also confirmed by Tesla founder Elon Musk. That is why efforts must be geared towards establishing colonies in other planets. But this will take hundreds of years also.
According to Pagalparrot, still about the world destruction, Stephen Hawking said that greediness and stupidity are the root cause of human destruction. Hopefully, his warnings will not fall on deaf ears.
