Are the four predictions left by Hawking accurate? What do you think?

Hawking did predict things, among which four predictions were more extensive. The first prediction? There was nothing before the Big Bang. The second prediction? The universe has no boundaries. The third prophecy? If global warming continues to intensify, humans will not be able to survive on the earth. The fourth prophecy? The thorough development of artificial intelligence may lead to the demise of mankind.

The four major predictions left by Hawking are the most hotly discussed. We don’t know whether they are accurate or not, but the last two of them are indeed closely related to us humans, and we have all witnessed them. problems faced.

Is global warming continuing to intensify as a trend?

Now, at least according to the existing data, global warming is definitely continuing to increase and becoming more and more serious. In the first few months of 2020, the temperature of our earth has continuously set new highs for the same period. At the same time, abnormal high temperatures have also occurred in the north and south regions. The most typical one is the high temperature weather of 38 degrees in the Arctic, and the World Meteorological Organization has certified that this data is true. exists, so the Arctic is so hot. It must be unjustifiable that the earth is not warming. This is obviously an ongoing earth fever.

According to Hawking's prediction, if humans do not curb global warming, the earth may eventually be like our Venus, with a surface temperature as high as 460°C, and humans will not be able to continue to survive. This is the ultimate state predicted and defined by Hawking for the human earth.

According to his description, two billion years ago, Venus was just like our Earth, very suitable for human habitation. It was also because of the continuous increase of carbon dioxide that Venus eventually turned into a "fireball". Today's Earth is taking the same path as Venus, so the Earth cannot continue to warm.

In fact, from a simple principle, even if the earth’s surface does not reach 460°C, humans will not be able to continue to survive. As long as it exceeds 50 degrees, humans may feel uncomfortable. Most people may not be able to resist around 60 degrees. It is basically impossible to survive at 70 degrees. Therefore, it is impossible to survive below 460°C, not only for humans. , including other biological life forms on the earth, may not be able to survive. Therefore, according to predictions about the ultimate state of the earth, humans must take emergency measures to prevent the climate, otherwise we will eventually be unable to avoid the effects of global warming.

Can artificial intelligence lead to the demise of mankind?

For artificial intelligence, this prediction can be said that many people don’t quite understand. Isn’t artificial intelligence designed by humans themselves? Is it possible to surpass humans? Hawking’s prediction is that artificial intelligence technology does bring convenience to human life in its initial stage of development, but machines will likely redesign themselves at an ever-accelerating speed. What is this situation? In fact, this may include some technologies that humans want to transform artificial intelligence, such as the proposed implantation of human brain system chips, which is like completely replicating human models.

The artificial intelligence machine is a model integrating top science and technology, and everyone should still remember the first robot with citizen status, Sophia. During a test, the robot designer Han Sen asked Sophia: Do you want to destroy mankind? Sophia's answer was: ?I will destroy humanity. ?, and the designer also said a problem is that it will appear among us in 20 years and have human-like consciousness, which is what we might consider a "beyond the boundaries" mode.

If a robot possesses human consciousness, does that mean that the robot not only possesses human information, but can also expand more capabilities through intelligent programs? So this also shows that Hawking's prediction may still be true. Makes sense. If artificial intelligence surpasses humans, the impact will be great. Therefore, when Hawking predicted, Elon Musk, CEO of Space , have also warned to pay attention to the "hazards" of artificial intelligence. This is the explanation of the second prophecy.

Is Hawking’s prediction accurate? If it comes true, where will mankind go?

As for Hawking's predictions, whether they are accurate or not is actually within our own control. Indeed, these are the two things we need to worry about, but there is nothing we can do about it.

We can change global warming. As long as humans work together to maintain ecosystems, then warming can be alleviated. However, it seems that today we see that the effectiveness of protecting the earth is not great, but more damage and pollutants. , high temperature, etc. have repeatedly set new highs, then this is following the predicted route.

Artificial intelligence is relatively simple. We develop artificial intelligence to change lives. If humans can set a "limit" in the field of artificial intelligence development.
