BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Stephen Hawking. Are you ready for this? Stephen Hawking is said to be the smartest man on earth. It's a toss-up between who's smarter, Hawking or Hillary Clinton. Stephen Hawking says we only have 1,000 years. If we don't find another planet or an asteroid to colonize, that's it for the human race, and that's largely because of climate change. One thousand years. Where are you gonna book your time? Is Elon Musk...

Are they gonna give him some drug that keeps him alive forever? He, by the way, will be subsidized to the tune of $55 billion zillion dollars by then. You know how much money he's been subsidized? He's taken $5 billion in federal and state subsidies, Elon Musk has, for Tesla, SpaceX, and this solar company of his. That's $5 billion. Profit? There's no profit when you have been given $5 billion, and there's still no... Anyway, yeah, a thousand years.

We only have a thousand years left on earth according to Stephen Hawking or we're all toast. I have a tip. We're all toast within a thousand years, folks, whether we leave the planet or not. The odds are, if you choose to leave the planet you're gonna be toast long before the rest of us who don't leave the planet will be toast. If you leave the planet seeking refuge on another planet, you are guaranteed to be toast say before I am. But the problem is that Hawking says it.

He's got this reputation for brilliance, scientific extraordinaire and all this. These young little Millennials see this, and it's just another bit of evidence for them that progress is destroying the planet.

What’s the betting line on this forecast?

Wow, That’s a load off my mind. Here I thought we wouldn’t see 2018 according to the Mayan calendar.

I read that by flying to the nearest star that “might” have a planet, in the “Goldilocks Zone,” like Earth it would take a very long time.

Using the gravity of the Sun to boost the speed of “Helios 2” to 150,000 mph, H2 became the fastest man made object.
At 150,000 mph it would only take 19,000 years to reach Alpha Proxima. So, dream on about colonizing another planet.
We are talking astronomical distances.
Now, 1,000 years from now it could be hot or cold here on Earth.
I think Mr. Hawking is just making a guess here and nobody alive now will be around to cheer or jeer his “science.”

A billion years? Good thing it isn’t a billion seconds.
That would only be 32 years.

A trillion seconds would be 32,000 years.

I think that the Universe is expanding now. The Stars seem to be getting dimmer to these old eyes.

The more I hear from Hawking on topics other than astrophysics, the more I think he’s an idiot-savant.

Wow. When trillion became the new billion, I don’t think most of us had any idea of what a huge number that is.

I would like to know how Hawking is still alive. He has to be the longest living ALS survivor on record.
