Is it true that mankind will perish in 2032?

This is false news. This is a prediction that mankind will perish in 2032, but it has no scientific basis and is not credible.

In 20 12, Hawking participated in the BBC program on the eve of his 70th birthday. When talking about the end of the world, Hawking said that it is almost certain that in the future 1000, the earth will be destroyed by a catastrophe, such as nuclear war or greenhouse effect.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding to some extent. A more appropriate translation of Hawking's original words is, "If disasters can be avoided in the next two centuries, then we (humans) will be safe, because by then (200 years later) we should have been able to move into space." Hawking said that disasters, including war, resource depletion, overpopulation and so on, are all threats of expansion.

Some scientists say that although global climate anomalies and geological disasters have increased in recent years, there is no scientific basis for thinking that the earth will end.

Catherine Fries, an astrophysicist at the University of Michigan, pointed out from the perspective of the feasibility of alien migration that the nearest star to the sun is proxima centauri, which is 4.2 light years away from the sun. This means that it is best for human beings to master the speed of light by then, and it will take more than four years to reach it. Otherwise, with the current rocket technology, it will take 50 thousand years to achieve it.

However, Hawking's supporters seem to understand the master's "true meaning" better. They said that Hawking's remarks were aimed at warning mankind to care for the earth and hoped that human society would develop in a more civilized direction. If so, "alarmism" can be understood.
