Science never fails to warn of danger that we run to continue polluting the planet at the rate that we do. According to top-level scientists from the four corners of the planet, we are about to start a mass extinction of species, among others environmental dramas that will end up causing the extinction of ours.
Beware of aliens
The online movie entitled "Stephen Hawking's Favorite Places", broadcast by Curiosity Stream, gives us clues on where to start looking. On the tape, the British genius has continued to claim that there are alien civilizationsAlthough they do not have the shape of humanoids, much less does he believe that UFOs exist, as we represent them, in the form of flying saucers.
It does believe in other life forms. They are not similar to ours, because we are a sum of coincidences, and our DNA is the result of these, but the laws of physics do exist, and in the same way that they derived in forms of life like the ones we know, they could have done the same. own creating different ones.
As it is, in the film he makes a special imaginary journey. Visit your favorite places in the Universe, stopping to explore the exoplanet Gliese 832c, 16 light years away.
He considers that there could be some form of advanced life in it, although he doubts that we could establish communication with those alleged aliens. And, in any case, he is increasingly convinced that we are not alone:
As I get older, I am more convinced than ever that we are not alone. And now, after a lifetime of questions, I am helping lead a new global effort to find them.
Finding them you think is possible, but do not communicate with them. What's more, it considers it very dangerous to do so. His explanations, from here on, are perfect for writing a horror movie script.
While still having your logic, you may go too far. Or maybe not. Each one must judge whether he is within the possible or the impossible. Specifically, Hawking warns that efforts to establish possible contact with aliens could get out of hand and lead to our destruction.
Hawking gives an example of the risk we run the SETI project, aimed at the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Specifically, the Breakthrough Listen program will look for signs of alien life in more than a million nearby stars, and this could result in a dramatic outcome. This is how the scientist explains it:
If one day we receive a signal from a planet like Gliese 832c, we must be very careful not to respond. If we do, they could be much more powerful than us and will give us the value that we place on bacteria.
Above all, Hawking fears that there are aliens much more advanced than us because they live around a red dwarf (a small and relatively cold star) of great age, so that they could be billions of years ahead of us.
Is what he fears could happen to him planet Gliese 832c, with what, in his opinion, would be likely to be a more dangerous civilization than we could imagine.
Do not throw in the towel, the key
Hawking remarked the importance of not giving up on our spatial search to find a new home at a recent lecture delivered at the University of Oxford, Great Britain.
"We have to continue to go to space for the future of the humanity. I don't think we will survive another 1,000 years without having to escape beyond our fragile planet, "he said in his speech.
The key to achieving it? Do not give up. "As difficult as it may seem, there will always be something that can be done. The important thing is not to give up."
And finally, the million dollar question about the future of the planet: When will it happen? The scientist does not have a concrete answer, if we want him to specify a year, not even refining roughly, but he does consider that there is no more firewood than burns, and based on this he affirms:
Despite the possibility of disaster for the planet Earth in a year Given can be quite low, accumulating over time and becoming a near-total certainty over the next 1,000 to 10,000 years
By then, we should have colonized space. Just like that "a disaster on the Earth It would not be the end of the human race. "A possible human reaction to save the planet is still in the pipeline, of course. Hawking does not believe it is possible.
Conclusions.
There are many studies that simply consider that it is a matter of time before this happens. A countdown that we must be prepared for, as advised by Stephen Hawking, the famous astrophysicist.
His proposal is clear: the only option humanity will have then will be to go outside. That is, to colonize other planets, and it is necessary to do it as soon as possible, because in his opinion the end of the world is also approaching leaps and bounds.
By his calculations, the next millennium could be that of the mass extinction, so the only way to prevent humanity from disappearing is necessary to have a plan b or, better, an alternative planet as the only hope.
Colonizing other planets will be forced for the next generations, a journey with no possible return, since a planet is left behind that will not allow it to do so because it is basically a wasteland, suffering constant extreme events, in addition to the usual thaw as a result of climate change.
A very clear idea, which proposes a solution rather of Science fiction. At least, that's the way it is today. However, Stephyen Hawkin considers that it is urgent to get moving to advance in this regard, until it is possible.
