Stephen Hawking’s prediction about the end of the world is supported by NASA: when would it be?

The late scientist Stephen Hawking He referred throughout his career to what the end of the world will be like and NASA confirmed some of the theories put forward by the British astrophysicist.

One of the theories that Hawking proposed was that of climate change. According to the scientist, if global warming was not controlled, the Earth could become uninhabitable. The theoretical physicist, who died in 2018proposed that the planet could become a “fireball” by the year 2600, due to the increase in temperature and the growth of the world population. This would occur due to the continuous emission of greenhouse gases and the overexploitation of natural resources.

Another of the theories that Stephen Hawking gave about the possible end of the world was told to the British media BBC News: “Although the probability of a disaster occurring on planet Earth in a given year may be quite low, it accumulates over time and becomes an almost absolute certainty in the next thousand or 10,000 years.”

Will artificial intelligence end the human race?

Scientist Stephen Hawking indicated that “the development of complete artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”

Finally, the astrophysicist told the BBC in 2018 that “If we are going to worry about the future of humanity, we should focus on real challenges, like climate change and weapons of mass destruction, instead of extravagant killer robots with artificial intelligence.

What does NASA say about the end of the world?

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, confirmed the concerns of scientist Stephen Hawking, especially on issues such as climate change or the overexploitation of natural resources.

According to NASA, “while the Earth’s climate has changed throughout its history, current warming is occurring at a rate not seen in the last 10,000 years.”

To prove that global warming on Earth is real, NASA mentioned that “scientific information extracted from natural sources – such as ice cores, rocks and tree rings – and from modern equipment – such as satellites and instruments – shows signs of a changing climate.”

NASA emphasized that the future of humanity on Earth It would be at risk if the problems of climate change and the sustainable consumption of the natural resources provided by the planet are not adequately adopted.
