NASA scientifically confirmed the prediction of a great physicist about the imminent destruction of Earth

In 2017, the outstanding physicist Stephen Hawking made a shocking prediction: by 2600, our planet could turn into a "fireball" due to critical overpopulation and catastrophic depletion of natural resources. This alarming warning was delivered at the prestigious Tencent WE summit in Beijing, where the scientist particularly emphasized that the current rates of demographic growth and consumption inevitably lead to a global catastrophe.

The famous astrophysicist insisted on the necessity of urgent actions - in his opinion, it is vitally important for humanity to begin searching for alternative habitats, leave Earth, and establish colonies in outer space. Hawking viewed space expansion as the only realistic chance for preserving our civilization.

A year earlier, in 2016, the scientist actively supported the revolutionary Breakthrough Starshot project, which proposed launching thousands of miniature space probes to nearby star systems to search for potentially habitable worlds. According to the ambitious plan, these probes should develop a colossal speed - up to 15,000 kilometers per second.

In 2024, NASA experts presented data confirming the validity of Hawking's concerns - his grim predictions have a serious scientific foundation.
