Hawking is one of the greatest contemporary scientists after Einstein and Newton . It is praised by the world as the "king of the universe". In April 2017, Hawking said he was more determined to believe that humanity would leave the earth before 2117. Hawking spent his entire life exploring the mysteries of the universe. His amazing prophecies repeatedly challenged our imaginations. So what surprising prophecies have been made in his life?
Prophecy 1: Human living space is facing a crisis
Hawking believes that it is difficult for humans to enter the next millennium. Human greed and selfishness endlessly plunder the earth's resources. This has caused serious problems in the earth's environment, such as ozone holes, greenhouse effect, warming the earth, constant disasters, environmental pollution, etc., will become a place that is not suitable for all animals to live in. Countries fought for resources, and the birth of nuclear weapon made the resource battle more urgent and devastating. Hawking said that if humans want to continue to survive, they must find ways to move to other planets.
Prophecy 2: Artificial Intelligence may lead to the demise of humans
Hawking has a lot of knowledge about the research on artificial intelligence. He said that although artificial intelligence can help humans solve diseases, social problems, etc. In the next 100 years, humans will face the challenge of smarter artificial intelligence than themselves, and then humans will not be able to compete with it. He has also repeatedly warned people not to develop artificial intelligence technology too deeply, otherwise once these artificial intelligences are out of control, they will endanger the future survival of human beings. For example, if you use drone on the battlefield, you will analyze and judge the combat environment and attack timing without human operation. Once a human is in a war with the robot, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Prophecy 3: In the near future, the earth may become a burning fireball
Hawking said: "After experiencing many events related to life and death, human beings have entered an increasingly dangerous period.
With the growth of the earth's population, it has now exceeded 8 billion mark. Energy is drying up, and the ecological environment is gradually deteriorating. The earth will eventually be unbearable. It will burn a lot in the future or within 1,000 years due to a major disaster, and finally become a fireball and will be destroyed. Human beings will not be able to survive and disappear with it.
Hawking highlighted that humans should not hope all rely on the earth. To avoid this devastating disaster, if we can explore other survivable planets within 200 years, then move to the past or to space, we may continue to maintain human civilization.
Hawking Prophecy IV: "Aliens" may exist
2010 American "Exploration" channel broadcast the popular science documentary "Unders to Understand the Universe with Hawking", Hawking proposed that there may be aliens in other galaxies. He believes that there are more than 100 billion galaxies in the universe, and each of them has them. Hundreds of millions of stars, among which there is a planet that is the same as the living environment on Earth;
With the development of technology and the advancement of scientists' exploration, scientists are increasingly convinced that there are planets similar to Earth outside of Milky Way . China's Sky Eye System has received signals from 12 billion light years away many times, which has further strengthened scientists' speculation.
What do these forms of life outside the Earth look like? At present, we cannot know based on our existing scientific and technological conditions, but Hawking is sure that humans on Earth should not try to contact these lives. Their arrival will not be a good thing for humans on Earth, which may be catastrophic. The consequences.
Prophecy 5: GMO technology will bring a biological crisis to humans
As the population gradually increases, food shortages have led to the problem of human hunger becoming more and more prominent. GMO technology has indeed played a big role in increasing grain production, alleviating the problem of food shortage. However, the research on GMO technology has less than 100 years, and humans have not fully grasped whether there is a negative impact. Because GMO technology is changing biological genes, will it have an impact on human genes and will it affect Biochain .Will organisms lose their natural enemies after changing their genes? This is also a great threat to humans.
It is almost impossible for humans to control all laboratories in the world; the dangers that may be encountered in the future are: we humans have created some kind of virus in the laboratory and destroyed ourselves. For example, today's new coronavirus epidemic has become increasingly serious after three years, and it is still a global outbreak.
Hawking's Prophecy Six: Humans can finally realize time travel
From ancient times to the present, humans dream of crossing the time and space tunnel to see what their past and future look like. The theory of relativity proposed by Einstein, if it can surpass the speed of light, humans can achieve time and space travel.
Hawking proposed the wormhole (time and space hole) theory, believing that there is a fold in the universe, which can connect the past, present and future together. As long as there are suitable spacecraft, suitable entrance and exit, time and space travel can be realized.
But Hawking warned mankind: Even if time and space travel can be achieved in the future, never go back to the past, as this will disrupt the time structure and cause unimaginable consequences.
Although Hawking's prediction is unimaginable to all of us. But we must admit that there are currently three prophecies being staged. The safety of
GMO products is now not just a scientific issue, but also a social issue. It has attracted more and more attention and concern.
Some countries and enterprises allow artificial intelligence to develop frantically, from smartphones and watches to drones and driverless vehicles, as well as factory automation equipment, causing a large number of people in the world to lose their jobs; now there are smart partners;
We don’t know how long the earth can carry humans to survive. With war, over-consumption of resources, over-population, and an increasingly deteriorating living environment, the threats brought by these problems are developing towards Hawking's language. We humans are facing severe survival challenges. What we can do at present is to protect the earth on which we rely on, treat the earth well, and treat life well!
