@ Beaf, This might sound foolish to you now but i do not think it will be in 70 80 years time. We are slowly using up all of earth's resources and there will soon be need to look elsewhere for survival.

Look whos talking.

I guess he had a little too much 2012 to watch.

manmustwac:

The dude is highly educated so don't yab him

ElRazur:

You are a person. Hawking is ranked in the same class as Einstein.


@Topic

Given the huge probability of finding planets outside our solar system that can actually be close to earth, then it will only be a matter of time before Man turn his sights into exploring such options.

Person never think how him go take leave wheelchair, na earth him wan commot.

*Hauwa*:

do you mind him, it is the same way they don't respect the less fortunate among them in their country, long hissssssssssssssssssss

bless you Hawking, long live man.

Dude, your posts are generally great, so please, I beg don't seem like you're poking fun at the disabled. Edit the post abeg.

ElRazur:

In that case, I guess all educated "handicapped" folks have auto-immunity to public opinion.

bless you Hawking, long live man.

Professor Stephen Hawkings: “If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.”

Professor Stephen Hawking: "humans should be "wary of answering" aliens until our species has become more sophisticated."

Professor Stephen Hawkings: “We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach”

In my opinion, the dude might be a genuis, but more often than none talks crazy.


person!! Wow!! Thats a new one.

Mr. ElRazur

I'm really sorry if my post struck a nerve, and I am really sorry if my post made you come to such a conclusion about me (the unmentionable adjectives with which you qualified me all over this thread). But I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.
The fact that Prof. Hawkings records an I.Q of over 160 does not make him immune to being castigated by the public, especially when he makes such statements with which I strongly disagree. It has nothing to do with his current physical state.

Stephen Hawking urges humans to leave Earth to avoid disaster


The Canadian Press
August 10, 2010

A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Stephen Hawking is suggesting the survival of the human race will likely depend on changing neighbourhoods and moving to another planet.

The famed physicist says in the centuries ahead, it will be hard for Earthlings to avoid a disaster of biblical proportion on their home turf, and he recommends they avoid putting all their eggs in one basket – or planet.

Hawking writes on the website BigThink.com that he sees great dangers ahead for the human race, noting such close calls as the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.

He warns about a ballooning population using up the Earth’s finite resources and the growing ability of humans to alter their environment for good, or ill.

Okija_juju:

And you do realise that it is impossible for all humans to evacuate earth now or in the future. This is home, this is where we were meant to be and this is where we will always be.

Stephen Hawkings :
“It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster on planet Earth in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million. The human race shouldn’t have all its eggs in one basket, or on one planet.”

Okija_juju:



You are a difficult one. Like I said earlier, you are entitled to your opinion bout me, just like I'm free to talk about anyone as I see fit. Too bad we have misunderstood each other so far.

Be that as it may, I will start from the bit about him wanting to go to space. How useful will Prof. Hawkings be in space?! Would he finally be able to make contact with the much elusive alien life forms we have been searching for??! I dont think so. LooK I'm amazed the guy still has his I.Q intact even with his situation _{(which I now see is a taboo to talk about)}, but simply because you are renowned in THEORITICAL physics dont give you the right to say humans should evacuate earth. Remember that his branch of physics is theoritical not necessarily practical.

Now his latest statement seems to be falling in line with the latest trend in town, This one being Global warming. Yes we all have heard about it, yes we seem to be noticing changes around us, but if you must know, I am of the school of thought that we humans are too small to destroy earth. The earth is a system, a set of interdependent entities forming an integrated whole. Just when we think we are destroying one part of the system, it would be correcting itself in another. The Earth has been around way too long to be destroyed now. Even the Dinosaurs couldnt achieve such a feat.

Even if say we could just manage to destroy earth, and had to run with Prof. Hawkings idea of abandoning earth, How does he propose we achieve it? First of all has our renowned genius on extra-terristial and space matters know something he isnt sharing with us fucktards?! like does Hawkings have a map to the habitable planet that could serve as home to humans providing us with good, clean, breathable air, adequate sunlight? fertile soil to grow our seed (food) drinkable water, e.t.c? or a propulsion system hidden somewhere in his bedroom capable of getting us there? Or some other genuis idea on how we are going to either develop faster than light travel (supersonic spaceships or better yet teleportation pods) or produce the food we will need to feed and sustain the human race in the said planet?! Remember that civilization goes beyond humans, it involves animals for meat, plants for food, and water for thirst. O snaps!! He isnt so intelligent afterall now is he?!

Secondly, Why would someone so intelligent, with a said I.Q of over 160, ranked amongst the likes of Albert Einstien and Isaac Newton, keep insisting we try to flee earth, when it is obvious that we have no where to flee to, no way to even flee, and even if by some "super lucky sheer genuis miracle wonder" we did manage to flee earth, we have no way of sustaining ourselves there. Or wait! Is he trying to carry out some sort of Natural selection (or is it artificial selection) where the "super intelligent and rich breed" would hop on a shuttle and leave earth and go to some new planet and repopulate whilst we poor humans remain here and die?? Or how possible is it that we could transport say 20Million people to say Mars for example?!

Look Dude (Razur), I am one person who just tries to keep s#!t real. Its sad that he looks that way in that picture, but thats how he looks in all his pictures. Wether he be wearing a tuxedo of nightrobe.It wasnt intended as pun when I posted it, but looking at it now, I guess I understand why y'all would darw such conclusions from it, hence my apologies. Its sad that he is in such a state physically as I wouldnt wish such on even my worst enemy, but that not withstanding, I think Prof. Hawkings seems to be taking advantage of the theoritical aspect of his physics to make insane predictions and all. Yes I believe that someday in the future we would _{(or might just)} exhaust the finite non-renewable resources earth has to offer _{(although I must say that day is billions of years away)}, but one thing he also seems to forget is that we humans are very dynamic. We will cross that bridge when that time comes. Even if it would require us living underground.

houvest:

Hawkins theory is worth looking into. There are Trillions of Planets in space. It is highly possible that God has equipped man with the ability of discovering them, inhabitting them and harnessing them. If not why create so many planets? Giod is not wasteful is my belief.

Beaf:

This is a bit closed minded. What do you mean "wastefull?" How do you know other beings do not already inhabit those planets?

Why do you think mankind is special? How have you come to the conclusion that mankinds mode of existence and being is the only available option? If it isn't, how can you tell that there aren't other creatures existing side by side with us, but whom we do not have the senses to percieve? How do you know if creatures similarly out the range of our 5 senses of perception do not inhabit the myriad planets we know exist?

As a human, you are trapped by the patterns you have formed as a crutch to understand your own World, so how can you even begin to talk about God?
