Professor Stephen Hawking says humans will be wiped out in 1,000 years unless we find new planet
Daily Mirror ^ | November 16, 2016 | Anthony Bond

Professor Stephen Hawking says humans have less than 1,000 years on Earth before we are wiped out by extinction.

The celebrated physicist said humans will only survive if another planet was found to live on.

The 74-year-old said unless this happens then humans will be wiped out in a mass extinction.

“It would be nice to have free people on another world when the totalitarian left takes power over a global government here on earth.”

Easier solution is just to shoot the liberals out into space. Let them worry about finding another habitable planet :)

“Interesting that the Obama administration unfunded NASA.”

It’s hard to pay for space exploration when you have to support 100 million deadbeats.

Hawking supports a political party that sees people with disabilities like his as parasites

Stupid is as stupid does.

Perfesser Hawking may have just acquired a Bible!

We will be going to that new place in about 1000 years.

“The Earth and the heavens departed from his face, for there was found no place for them.”

I doubt that would work, simply because Mars’ atmosphere is so thin. Kind of hard to trap the heat in if you don’t have enough insulation to go around.

Besides, even if you succeed, you still can’t live on the surface because of the deadly radiation, so what’s the point? Much easier to just climate control the underground bunkers anyone on Mars would be forced to live in.

>> “ What makes Hawking think” <<

Most have been wondering that for decades.

Hawking came up with a pretty good idea over 40 years ago, but he’s lost a lot of bets since then.

Yeah, great point. Libs whine about the temperature changing half a degree, or the ocean level changing a few inches, but not a single other planet we have found even has oceans (of water) and a temperature that is even borderline habitable.

No Kidding!

Tishri one next year begins the last seven years of the “governments of men.”

Hawking has to have happened on these thoughts with help from somewhere.

Libs always forget that the source of human problems are humans, so running away doesn't work.

Well... I’d hope within 1,000 years that Jesus has come back and that this rock will not matter as much as being in Heaven with God.

Two reasons. First he persevered in the face of a very disabiliting condition. Second he did make some significant contributions to cosmogany. Sadly he also has shown himself to be a loud mouthed fool outside his field of study.

I wonder how many read the article before insulting this brilliant, challenged human being. He made clear that his ideas were based on past history, plagues, wars and most importantly our current technological advances. He discussed ‘climate change’ sanely. He is a ‘thinker’ not a ‘tinker’ or a ‘stinker’. JMHO

Does it occur to these folks that maybe THIS IS the “other planet” humans need to survive?

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! Back in 1942, MGM released a short TRAVELTALKS on Glacier and Waterton National Parks.

It stated that the glaciers have been melting since the last ice age and if there is “no climatic change, they will be gone in 1000 years!”

WE GONNA DIE TOGETHER! Oh wait, I won’t be around then!

Out of respect for Demoncrats, let them go to the new planet first.
