Hunting with eagles

Hawking's prediction refers to the famous physicist Stephen Hawking's 201/kloc-0 interview with BigThink, a famous American intellectual video sharing website, saying that the earth will be destroyed within 200 years, and there is only one way for human beings to survive: to emigrate to other planets.

Hawking said that if human beings want to continue, they must emigrate to Mars or other planets, and the earth will die sooner or later. As for this time limit, Hawking predicted that the earth would be destroyed within 200 years. When this news came out, it caused a heated discussion. Some scholars say that Hawking's theory has no relevant scientific basis and should be understood as "Master Huo's advice to mankind". Some netizens think it is "idle talk", but the "doomsday mood" of most netizens has been rekindled. In addition, Hawking also predicted that aliens might invade the earth to compete for resources.

As a professor of applied mathematics and theoretical physics at Cambridge University, Hawking proved the famous singularity theorem with Penrose in the 1970s, and he also proved the area theorem of black holes alone, that is, the area of black holes does not decrease with time. For this reason, Hawking is regarded as the most important general relativity and cosmologist in the contemporary era, and undoubtedly the greatest scientist alive. He is also known as the "king of the universe" and is considered to be the most famous scientific thinker and the most outstanding theoretical physicist in the world after Einstein. From this perspective, Hawking's "Earth Extinction Theory" is really a bit scary. But as a master, in the face of the infinite mysterious starry sky and the profound scientific theory that can't be "explored to the end", can Hawking's predictions really be all correct? We will wait and see.

There have been four famous gambling games around black holes in the history of science, and Hawking participated in them three times, but they all lost: Hawking took part in the first bet on whether Cygnus X- 1 in 1975 contains black holes, and Hawking finally gave up; The second time was at 199 1. Hawking gambled with Thorne and Preskill on the existence of naked singularity, and Hawking lost again. The third note is in 1997. Hawking and Preskill made a bet on whether black holes would destroy all the information they swallowed. In 2004, Hawking gave up in public. Moreover, Hawking's wonderful remarks about "Don't talk to aliens" also make many scientists feel incredible. To borrow Hawking's own metaphor, Americans have to set out for Columbus by themselves.

However, we can't laugh at the theory that the earth will be destroyed in 200 years because of Hawking's "inaccurate prediction". Mankind's unrestrained plunder of nature has reached a disastrous level. Hawking's prediction that "the earth will be destroyed in 200 years" is a kind of "advice", and he obviously hopes to prevent human beings from destroying nature crazily through this advice. There is no doubt that the genetic code of human selfishness and greed mentioned by Hawking exists. Since human beings appeared on the earth, they have never stopped exploiting the earth, which is naturally necessary for the development of civilization. However, with the emergence of the second industrial revolution, new energy, new materials and new technologies began to change with each passing day, resources began to be exploited without restraint, industrial wastes such as carbon dioxide were discharged in large quantities, the earth became hotter and hotter, the ozone layer was empty, and the sea level rose. On the other hand, nature retaliates severely against human beings: extreme meteorological disasters of "once every n years" become more and more frequent, and phenomena such as shortage of land and water resources, increased energy demand, rapid population growth, freshwater crisis, increased diseases, threat of war, and food shortage occur from time to time. It's getting worse. These are the results of human selfishness and greed. If mankind can't stop on this road, sooner or later,

Hawking's prediction that the earth will be destroyed in 200 years may not be accurate, but there is no doubt about the terrible future facing mankind. There is only one earth, and human beings and everything on the earth need to continue to thrive on it. Even if they want to leave the earth and live on other suitable planets, it is almost impossible. Therefore, protecting and cherishing the earth must not be regarded as empty talk, otherwise, mankind is likely to bring its own destruction.
