Original Message
Earlier this week in an interview with Big Think, physicist Stephen Hawking warned that humans will face extinction if they do not find another planet to inhabit.
In the video interview posted below Hawking says, "We are entering an increasingly dangerous period in our history, there have been a number of times in the past when survival has been a question of touch and go, like the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1963, and the frequency of such occasions is likely to increase in the future." Hawking also believes that if humans can maintain life for two more centuries, they will survive. (He was also very skeptical about reaching this goal)
He claims humans will have a hard time surviving another century because people "carry selfish and aggressive instincts," and deplete natural resources at an alarming rate.
