Stephen Hawking believes that humanity has less than a thousand years on Earth before a mass extinction occurs, the leading theoretical physicist said during a speech Tuesday at Oxford University Union, U.K.
According to Hawking, the only way humans can avoid the possibility of extinction was to find another planet to inhabit.

hes just old and bitter, tired of life and bordering on dementia soon
no reason to take his doomsday prophecy seriously

Kinda puts a damper on my hopes of living past 1,040.

Quite long still to go.
We are not reproducing anymore on sustainable level.
I guess Africans and middle east people are going to keep our specie alive for the next 1000 years.

has stephen put an expiration date on himself yet?

That only gives Africans, and middle east "people," 1000 years to evolve into our species.

Anyone who thinks jesus was smart, or even real, is stupid.

Obviously he wrote this theory before Trump became president.

i blame steroids.

Dudes probably just mad he could never hit 300 lbs stage-ready.

if he's so smart how come he never was a bodybuilder?

Yes. Jesus is a fictional character. If you believe otherwise, see Easter bunny and Santa Claus. The only difference is...your parents never told you God didn't exist.

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you
In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube' Whoooa
In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' he ought to make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
Guess it's time for the Judgement day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty head then
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been 10, 000 years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through
But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday

Better leg development than Levrone and wider than Heath

OK. I'm going to get to work on my private space shuttle then.

1000 years to get to another planet? If technology doesn't slow down, I'd imagine it could be accomplished in less than 100 years if it's not already been done and we just don't know about it...

The lip syncing is always so terrible on these old shows. Good song nevertheless.

Yea, crazy, the guy has defied motor neurone disease, diagnosed at 21 and not expected to live to 25. Maybe he'll be around for the extinction..
has stephen put an expiration date on himself yet?
-
One of the things he says is that humans shouldn't be trying to contact life on other planets.
Like I've always said, he believes we shouldn't just assume all intelligent life out there will always be friendly.
-

Technology is not there. Speed of light travel will be necessary... which IMO is not attainable during the next 1000 years, perhaps 10,000.

Aren't they working on that at CERN?

Who needs a new planet? Planetary living is for primitives. Humans require a future the turns us into a space faring race, traveling the Universe in gigantic artificial structures.
Planets are unreliable dwelling places, beset by all kinds of problems, such as volcanoes, tidal waves, earthquakes, diseases. Imagine a tectonic plate flipping over! That would ruin your next 50 thousands years. How about a near miss by a large space object, that flips the planet upside down, or increases the rotation speed of the planet, creating a super hurricane around the Equator and sucking the atmosphere away from the polar regions. To say nothing of extinction events from ordinary sized meteors, asteroids, and comets striking the planet.
Trying to find another planet to live on, is short sighted thinking.
-

They are working on creating an inter-dimensional black hole at CERN. Not sure they know what to do when it opens up but that is another problem.

Except the need for raw materials from planets. What you are talking about requires strict population control, eugenics, etc.

I suggest you get in contact with NASA so they may be enlightened by your ideas
-

Everything we need is floating around in space. Eugenics is good. As long as you only allow superior people to breed, then huge populations are not only possible, but necessary, for humanity to branch out, and conquer the Universe.

So basically moonraker

when it comes to space travel, always go to Mr Anabolic for advice in the matter!

It's crazy some people assume they would be friendly.
Just look at us humans. We can't get along with each other. Spaniards beached in America, were greeted by curious locals and immediately started to kill them.

Fuck that. Aliens would come here and see the new hot breed of chicks coming out of High School and give us all high 5s
-
1000 years? That's quite optimistic.

Here's the thing.
The way things are going / progressing right now, if it keeps up in the same speed, it won't be more than 100 years before shit hits the fan.
But maybe it needs to be some Huge happening (that will happen in abt 100 years) that will keep humanity surviving (cleansing of a certain species), or we all just plain die out due to war, famine and natural disasters.

Humans had their chance. Humanity is so overrated. Why bother saving it?

Jesus is documented in history time and time again. I know you have a constant yearning to be edgy and "special", but you do spend a good majority of the time bitching.

Like in the book Red Mars, humans will probably live in cities under domes or underground. Even if they could terraform the planet and have flowing water and vegetation and enough oxygen, it would still be too cold to go out without a spacesuit.
The lower gravity would also physically weaken future generations and perhaps lead to other evolutionary changes.

Classic flying car Jetsons nonsense.
3-d printers in particular are all the rage. It's a dead end technology. Materials have properties. You can't just deposit grain after grain to make anything you want. It doesn't work that way.
And AI. ::) It's not going to happen. No matter how advanced you make a computer, it just does what it's programmed to do. It has no mind or will.
What's to say you can't attach a lifelike visage to an interface fronting the crowdsourced wisdom of the Internet?
Lol. Answer:
It took mere hours for the Internet to transform Tay, the teenage AI bot who wants to chat with and learn from millennials, into Tay, the racist and genocidal AI bot who liked to reference Hitler.
-
People are so fucking ignorant they have no idea what is a danger to their existence.
They're constantly looking to the skies looking for the huge asteroid that is going to crash into planet earth, or a plague that is going to run out of control, or UFOs landing on our planet and making mincemeat out of us... Without paying attention to the IMMENSE nuclear weapons inventories around the world, enough to destroy the world 10 times over.
Way to go humanity!

Lol. Answer:
The flying cars thing was when we had next to no technology at all. Now they can put computers on a grain of rice. Technology isn't going to slow down unless there's a nuke reset. It's only going to speed up. Year after year it will speed up faster and faster. The technology is all there. Flying cars is when you needed a computer the size of a large room to play pong...EVerything has changed. In fact, technology has sped up the way we understand time itself.

Really?
No matter how advanced you make a computer, it just does what it's programmed to do.
Let's start simply: what if the program uses a source of randomness (say, a beta detector placed next to a bowl of table salt)? It's decisions are effectively random.
Now, let's get more complex: what if the program uses neural nets and deep learning techniques, so that it increases its knowledge as time goes on without any intervention from the programmer? Such systems, for example, can be started up completely "blank" and learn to perform a task through trial and error.
It has no mind or will.
Can you define "mind" and "will" for us, sufficiently accurately as to allows us to understand why it's impossible for a computer to possess those things?
Can you explain how your brain differs from a computer?

The Sun will eventually scorch the earth, then cool down and die.
Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die. Or, find Jesus.
-
Really?
Sure.
Let's start simply: what if the program uses a source of randomness (say, a beta detector placed next to a bowl of table salt)? It's decisions are effectively random.
It's direction is randomly dictated. They're not decisions. There was no reflection or judgement on the part of the computer. It just did what it was told to do, in this case by a particle detector.
Now, let's get more complex: what if the program uses neural nets and deep learning techniques, so that it increases its knowledge as time goes on without any intervention from the programmer? Such systems, for example, can be started up completely "blank" and learn to perform a task through trial and error.
It wouldn't set about 'learning' (I can't anthropomorphize like that w/o the quoties) any task unless directed to do so. It's just more computation. The machine's next iteration is dictated by probable outcomes based on past outcomes, as it's directed to do by its program.
Getting improved results by repeated trial and error is the opposite of reasoning to a solution. The machine will never reason. There's no conceptualization happening. There's no understanding of anything taking place.
Can you define "mind" and "will" for us, sufficiently accurately as to allows us to understand why it's impossible for a computer to possess those things?
Can you explain how your brain differs from a computer?
Not really. People have argued over these terms for a long long time now. Doubt I'll be the guy to provide the definitive answer.
My physical brain? No. My mind? Yes. It is manifest, as evidenced by conscious thought, which may be predicated on the existence of a brain but it's not strictly equivalent. If you shoot the orchestra then you have stopped the symphony, but have you eradicated the symphony? I'm not quite hocus pocus lava lamp enough to say we all share in a universal consciousness but, as intellects we possess common traits unique to living beings. Again, the ability to reason and to reason and act through one's own agency.
So in b4 Frankenstein's creation. I don't know if you can build a man on a workbench. I just have a real hard time going all in on materialism. Like the dude said: Hey, nothing is in this famous 'mind' of yours which is not first in the senses. And the other dude was all: Except the mind itself.

Lol. Answer:
That's not true. There will come a point where you will not be able to tell the difference between a human and a computer. You can say the sophistication or tech isn't there yet. Human brains are nothing more than sophisticated biological computers.
-

Nope. The computational power of machines already exceeds that of the human brain and the machines still aren't starting any conversations. There's a qualitative difference between something living and something inert which won't be overcome by moar bytes.

Yes, Croatch really yearns to "buck the system." He tries REALLY hard not to be a sheeple. He fits in great with the other sheeple who try not to be sheeple. They should all hang out together and try not to be sheeple, while typing on their computers, using their cell phones, and putting their money into major banks. :D

His schtick gets very old, would rather listen to Walter Sobchak's unoriginal dick jokes than another Croatch society driven meltdown.

In before Croatch states that, of course he uses a computer; he knew I was going to say that :D :D :D But he finds other ways to buck the system!
