when he wasn't solving the mysteries of
black holes and revolutionising
theoretical physics Stephen Hawking
spoke a lot about how the
world would end from terminate his style
robots taking over to Donald Trump these
are some of the late scientists most
terrifying doomsday predictions earth
will turn into a giant fireball humanity
is at a tipping point hawking warned
last July he added that global warming
would cause the earth to become like
Venus with a global temperature of 482
degrees Fahrenheit and sulfuric acid
raining from the sky by the year 2000
600 the world's population would be
standing shoulder to shoulder and the
electricity consumption would make the
earth glow red-hot
he told a gathering of scientists in
Beijing China our best bet is to leave
earth completely predicted hawking the
AI apocalypse will see robots replace
humans Facebook and Google are obsessed
with artificial intelligence but Hawking
didn't trust it one bit he claimed it
could be the worst invention of the
history of our civilization speaking to
Wired UK he said I fear that AI may
replace humans altogether if people
design computer viruses someone will
design AI that improves and replicates
itself this will be a new form of life
that outperforms humans nuclear war
could kill us all when asked what human
trait he'd like to change hawking
replied aggression he said it could lead
to irrational behavior like sparking
nuclear war and ending the world there
is no sign of conflict lessening and the
development of militarized technology
and weapons of mass destruction could
make that disastrous he told the BBC as
part of his 75th birthday celebrations
the best hope for the survival of the
human race might be independent colonies
in space we need to get busy finding
another planet fearing that our planet
will become overpopulated Hawking
predicted that humans will have to leave
Earth and repopulate elsewhere in a
documentary titled Stephen Hawking
expedition New Earth he warned that if
humans don't become a multiplanetary
species and settle on another world
we could die out in the next century
Trump will shove the earth over the
brink Hawking was clearly not a fan of
Donald trum when the president announced
his decision to withdraw from the Paris
climate agreement to reduce co2 levels
hawking became one of his most outspoken
opponents speaking to the BBC he said by
pulling out of the Paris climate
agreement Donald Trump will cause
avoidable environmental damage to our
beautiful planet endangering the natural
world for us and our children
