Stephen Hawking makes a dangerous' warning

Hawking said the world is facing huge environmental and technological challenges and needs to unite and work together to protect the humanity.

London: In a grim prognosis, renowned British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has warned that the human race today is facing the “most dangerous” time in its history. Noting that the planet is in crises, the 74-year-old Cambridge professor said the world is facing huge environmental and technological challenges and needs to unite and work together to protect the humanity. “We face awesome environmental challenges: climate change, food production, overpopulation... they are a reminder that we are at the most dangerous moment in the development of humanity,” he said.

“We now have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but have not yet developed the ability to escape it. Perhaps in a few hundred years, we will have established human colonies amid the stars, but right now we only have one planet, and we need to work together to protect it,” Hawking wrote in a recent op-ed for The Guardian.
