End Of The World News: Stephen Hawking Sees An Asteroid Wiping Out Mankind By 3016; Humans DOOMED Like Dinosaurs!!
British physicist Stephen Hawking has made another apocalyptic warning predicting the possibility of an asteroid hitting the Earth and wiping out all humans in 1000 years. The famous theoretical physicist's predictions warn of an apocalyptic scenario of humanity's future on Earth.
According to the "Christian Science Monitor", Stephen Hawking discussed this apocalyptic doomsday scenario in a speech delivered at the Oxford University Union. Hawking hinted at an asteroid colliding with the Earth causing another mass extinction event, which previously wiped out dinosaurs.
The "Washington Post" reported that Stephen Hawking gave humanity a due date for finding another planet. In his speech at Oxford, Hawking revealed that humanity may face extinction and stressed the need for humans to leave the Earth and find another exoplanet.
Excerpts from that Stephen Hawking statement were published by several publications including "The Independent".
"Although the chance of a disaster to planet Earth in a given year may be quite low, it adds up over time, and becomes a near certainty in the next 1,000 or 10,000 years. By that time we should have spread out into space, and to other stars, so a disaster on Earth would not mean the end of the human race."

The "A Brief History of Time" author's talk delved on various topics including the origins of the universe, Einstein's theory or relativity, and humanity's creations of myths and God. Stephen Hawking pushed for finding ways to prevent asteroids from colliding to Earth.
"One of the major threats to intelligent life in our universe is the high probability of an asteroid colliding with inhabited planets."
NASA and its partner space agencies regularly track asteroids that might have a close encounter with Earth. There are over 600,000 known asteroids in the solar system. Most of them are located in the Asteroid Belt, which is between Mars and Jupiter's orbits.
