Stephen Hawking: Future of humanity no longer lies on earth

LONDON: Scientist Stephen Hawking claimed that the next generation must inhibit another planet within a century since the future of humanity no longer lies on earth. Hawking, a leading theoretical physicist, said that the growing advancement of computer systems and machines could take over the human race. “I don’t think we will survive another 1,000 without escaping beyond our fragile planet,” he said in a speech made at Oxford University, the newspaper reported. “We must also continue to go into space for the future of humanity,” he added. Humans must leave Earth within 100 years if we want to survive, Professor Stephen Hawking has warned.
