How much do you know about Hawking's five terrible predictions?

Hawking has been in a wheelchair all the year round because of paralysis, but he has been conducting scientific research and even made many predictions about the future of the earth. The prophecy was put forward before Hawking's death, in which Hawking said that human beings would be at war because of new species, and human beings would be destroyed after 300 years. We have heard the prediction of the destruction of the earth or the disappearance of human beings before, so will Hawking's prediction happen again?

1. In the next 20 years, humans will find aliens.

In the vast universe, even if human beings search for alien civilization in various ways, there is still no news. However, in Hawking's view, in the next 20 years, human beings will find aliens. Because in recent years, human exploration of outer space has gradually increased, which has also increased the possibility of encountering aliens.

Hawking put forward a negative attitude towards contact with aliens. Because in our age of limited technology, contact with aliens will bring mankind into disaster. Although we express goodwill, the great differences in science and technology can easily lead to the idea of conquest and domination. For the universe, we always think it is vast and mysterious, but in Hawking's view, life in the universe, like bacteria or viruses, is not mysterious, but they can conquer the harsh environment in the universe.

The end of the earth in 2.300 years.

The Mayan prophecy also predicted that mankind would encounter the end of the world in 20 12, but this prophecy did not come true. As for Hawking's doomsday prediction, there may still be some possibility, because Hawking believes that human destruction of the earth will gradually bite the earth's environment. After 300 years, the earth's environment will deteriorate and explosions will occur one after another. Perhaps human civilization can no longer continue at this time.

The earth's resources are limited and will be exhausted by human beings one day. At this time, if mankind can't find suitable resources to replace it, then mankind will also face disaster. In Hawking's view, the most important means to slow down the end of the world now is to protect the environment and save resources.

3. Gene editing

Hawking believes that the emergence of new species will have a great impact on the human world, and new species refers to genetically modified people. Perhaps through the efforts of scientists, gene editing can make people more perfect, but the threat it brings exists, so when a new race is born, human beings are likely to have a war with that race.

4. About artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence has become the mainstream direction of development now, and it can also improve our quality of life and make our affairs more convenient. However, in Hawking's view, although artificial intelligence brings many benefits to human beings, it is also easy to cause dangerous events. After all, the gradual improvement of artificial intelligence is likely to move towards wisdom or even surpass human beings in the future, so the development of artificial intelligence should be cautious.

5. About exploring the universe

In Hawking's view, the earth's resources are limited. In 100 years, alien civilization will not rule human beings, so human beings should strengthen their exploration of the solar system or the universe in order to obtain more useful information. Human beings are very small in the universe. We should recognize the reality and put aside our complacency, so as to better explore the mysteries of the universe and lay the foundation for the future of mankind.
