According to Hawking, our planet will become overcrowded, and increased energy consumption will turn Earth into a ball of fire because of the rising population and exponential consumption. But he seems to have a solution.
Physicist Stephen Hawking has warned that the human race will cease to exist on Earth after humans turn it into a giant fireball by 2600 year.
To escape from the catastrophe, humans must "boldly go where no one has gone before," Hawking declared during his video appearance at the Tencent WE Summit in Beijing, as quoted by the New York Post.
The physicist appealed to investors to support his project Starshot Breakthrough, which involves a journey to the closest star outside our solar system – Alpha Centauri, one of the closest star systems at 4.3 light-years away from Earth.
The scientist hopes that the system may have exo-planets orbiting it, which could be suitable for life just like on Earth.
Starshot Breakthrough’s director, a former head of NASA’s Ames Research Center, also made an appearance in Beijing saying, "Maybe if all goes well, sometime a little after the middle of the century, we’ll have our first picture of another planet that may be life-bearing orbiting the nearest star."
Just a day earlier, Hawking appeared at Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal, to warn humanity about the development of artificial intelligence, saying, "AI could develop a will of its own."
"The rise of AI could be the worst or the best thing that has happened for humanity,” he added, explaining that robots are already taking over millions of jobs, and technologists must pause and focus not just on making AI more successful, but try and make it more beneficial to humanity.
According to Hawking, the timing might be faster than we think, as AI could outshine humans in just a few decades.

The famous futurist and businessman Elon Musk has also previously warned about the future of the human race, as potentially superior artificial intelligence has already been created.
So I guess this means there is no use to get wrapped around the axel about “global warming”. We’re all doomed anyway. If Hawking says it, it must be true.
God has promised there will always be a seed-time and a harvest time on His Earth. History is His Story, and He has the time marked for the end of this world.
As the church year turns to meditating on the end times the next two Sundays, we join Christians of every age in the fervent prayer, “Even so come quickly, Lord Jesus!”
One day it may be revealed that most of Stephen Hawkings predictions and suppositions did not come from him at all, but came from certain aides, caregivers and their associates.
Many are willing to at least ponder on the wisdom that seems to be coming from Mr. Hawkings. Trust but verify!
the same shopping cart who gushes about glowbull warming. I may be smarter than him..
Steven Hawkings lives on the “Dark Side” now....even the scientists who respected his opinion now ignore him....he’s a nutcase!
I haven’t heard that song in years.
I really, seriously do not think the Lord is going to wait that long.
If we all buy 24 of those 25 year food packages, we’re set.
The last data I have seen shows the birth rates of all races except Africans is dropping and will be at or below replacement levels. The chances of a “population bomb” is very very remote.

“Technically, time doesn’t exist at all... it’s merely a system human beings made up to organize events so that we can describe them to other human beings.”
Yes, and the calendar was a big hit too.

He’s not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. Truly.
And neither was Hitchins, though he had that cool “educated sounding” british accent. :)
