The end of the world is gradually becoming a near certainty, according to famous theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, and human beings have no one else to blame but themselves for the way they are misusing science and technology.
In an interview with Radio Times, Hawking was asked if he thinks the world will end due to the force of nature or due to humans. The 74-year-old cosmologist replied by pointing out that human beings “face a number of threats” that are all because of our own doing, such as “nuclear war, global warming and genetically engineered viruses.”
He further warned that advances in science and technology will create “new ways things can go wrong.”
