Stephen Hawking's five predictions about the world

Science and Technology Desk: Stephen Hawking is one of the most talked about scientists in the modern world. The wheelchair was the constant companion of this late physicist. However, his wheelchair never stood in the way of this extraordinarily talented scientist. Rather, he made several predictions about the human civilization a few days before his death while sitting in a wheelchair.

Cambridge News lists Hawking's top 5 predictions. Separate reports in the Mirror and the New York Post discussed the predictions.
The world will be destroyed by fire
Stephen Hawking said about the possible cause of the destruction of the world, 'In less than 600 years we will all die. Because people will increase on earth and the amount of energy we will need will burn the whole earth.' That is, the world will become a ball of fire.
He gave this theory at the Tencent We Summit in Beijing, China. In that conference, scientists from different countries of the world presented their concept papers. Hawking said, 'By the year 2600, the world's people will be shoulder to shoulder. The electricity they need will turn the world red.'
Hawking said, to protect the earth, we need to take ideas from the American TV series 'Star Trek'. Need to quickly find places where no one has gone - somewhere or aliens - and develop communication technology at the speed of light.
Robots will take over the world
Another prediction by Professor Stephen Hawking is that artificial intelligence will replace humans. In an interview with Weird magazine, Hawking said, 'As we move forward with the development of artificial intelligence, we must remember that they will be dangerous.'
Hawking added, 'I'm afraid they'll really drive people away. If humans can create computer viruses, someone will create an artificial intelligence that will remove them. It will be another form of life and it will surpass humans in intelligence.'
The world will be destroyed by nuclear technology and human aggression.
At present, many powerful countries in the world have nuclear weapons. War can happen at any time. In an interview given to the BBC on his 75th birthday, Stephen Hawking said, 'Greed and aggression have been created in humans. The conflict shows no signs of abating. Weapons and war equipment can cause massive damage on Earth. In order to dream of sustaining human civilization, independent colonies must be established in space.'
Stephen Hawking has commented that finding space on other planets
should make full use of technological capabilities and achieve more technological excellence in order to avoid the extinction of the human species. "If we don't find another planet to live on, climate change, population growth, epidemics and war will eventually wipe us out," he said.
In an interview for the BBC documentary 'Expedition New Earth', Hawking said, 'He believes that our planet has reached a point of no return.'
Stephen Hawking was a harsh critic of Donald Trump and climate change . When Trump expressed his reluctance to sign the climate change agreement in Paris, Hawking was the most vocal.
At that time, Hawking told the BBC, "Trump's decision to withdraw from the climate agreement will push the world to the brink of destruction." He warned, 'Climate change will make the Earth like Venus, where temperatures will reach 250 degrees Celsius, raining sulphur. Climate change is one of the biggest threats facing us now. We can prevent this danger if we take action.'

Criticizing Trump, Hawking said, "By withdrawing from the climate agreement, Trump is damaging the environment of our beautiful world, putting us and children in danger of destroying the natural environment."
