According to Stephen Hawking, the
human race is in danger of being wiped out in the next 100 years, and it's all
our own fault.
According to the BBC, the physicist says he believes
humanity will face dangerous scenarios of our own making during the next
century, including nuclear war, global warming and genetically-engineered
viruses.
And he told the Radio
Times further progress in science and
technology could increase that risk. "We are not going to stop making
progress, or reverse it, so we must [recognize] the dangers and control them."
Of course, Hawking has voiced his concerns on this topic
before. Just last year, he warned that artificial intelligence could wipe out the human race.
These latest comments come just days
before Hawking is scheduled to give this year's BBC Reith Lectures, which will
explore research into black holes.
The first part of the
lecture will air on BBC Radio 4 Jan. 26, and you can catch part two
Feb. 2.

危言聳聽嗎?覺得有點積極意義在內。馬兒啊,你慢些走!
