Stephen Hawking Says ‘We Have 1000 Years To Colonize A Planet’: Technology Can Help

Humanity is threatened by the new born "brawler" and "audacious" leaders, who do not take climate change, nuclear weapons seriously. With the uncertain and fearful future ahead, scientists believe humans should start hunting a new planet to colonize. Professor Stephen Hawking says "We have 1,000 years" to find another planet.

Reportedly, since 2009 NASA has been hunting for a planet where humans can survive. Hawking believes humanity will encounter mass extinction. He asks humans to search a place in the space to continue humanity.

During a speech this week at Oxford University Union, the 74-year-old Professor said: "I don't think we will survive another 1,000 years without escaping beyond our fragile planet," the Daily Star reported.

Hawking mainly spoke on the Universe and Einstein's theory of relativity. He spoke on humanity's creation myths, existence of God and also discussed "M-theory"- Leron Borsten explains as "proposal for a unified quantum theory of the fundamental constituents and forces of nature."

Although, the fact is humanity has a tough time ahead, per Hawking, scientists must research more into theoretical physics. Hawking says there are less chances for the Earth to wipe out in one given year, but it will certainly happen in the next 1,000 or 10,000 years.

According to NDTV, Hawking says the universe has 4,600 "candidate" planets and 2,300 are confirmed as planets. In 1995, the NASA discovered the first exoplanet orbiting another star like the sun and exoplanets - earth-sized small worlds.  

Hawking finally tells technology can help mankind survive and future discoveries can help people land in a better place.

"Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it will take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate," Hawking warned in recent months. "Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete and would be superseded."
