Stephen Hawking’s legacy goes beyond the fundamental theorem that he proposed in 1971 on the mechanics of black holes, a phenomenon that could not be verified visually until 50 years later. In addition to confirming that hubo un Big Bang At the beginning of it all, the British theoretical physicist is the author of the new spacetime theory and much of the discoveries of modern astrophysics. He also uncovered unresolved paradoxes and raised Short answers at big questions from humanity: predicted the possible and dramatic effects that artificial intelligence could have on everyday life and, among other things, how and when the end of the world.
Hawking warned that the Tierra could become a ball of fire about in 2600. That would mean the extinction of the human species In its whole. alerted of the annihilation five before he died, at the WE Summit in Beijing in November 2017.
The main reason to support such a theory lies in the population growth and the planet’s inability to cope with a energy consumption so high, explained the astrophysicist. “That will cause the Earth to become a crackling fireball in the next 600 years,” he said.
“Humans must leave Earth”

The science popularizer indicated that in order to prolong the existence of humanity, it should “boldly seek refuge where no one has gone before.” For this reason, he encouraged to continue investigating ways of explore habitable planets outside the solar system. In this sense, he said that they could be reached in just 20 years, something that at the moment seems more than unlikely.
In particular, he delved into the ‘Breakthrough Starshot’ project, which aims to develop a fleet of micro spaceships capable of traveling to Alpha Centauri. at 15 or 20% of the speed of light. “We are running out of space. Diversifying may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that lHumans need to leave Earth“, he assured.
