"Alien visits to Earth are like Columbus's discovery of America, which is not a good thing for the Native Americans. ”
On April 25, 2010, American television broadcast the documentary "Understanding the Universe with Stephen Hawking", and it was this documentary that made Hawking's views on outer space widely circulated. If we want to say why we believe in Hawking so much, we must mention several major dangers that are developing in Hawking's prophecy that are qualified to threaten humanity.
Although Hawking bluntly said that he is an optimist, it can be seen from his many judgments that Hawking has always been worried about the future of mankind. Hawking believes that humanity will eventually become extinct, not because of the outside world, but because human greed will bury the future of the race.
The first type of prophecy made by Hawking was about technology. Artificial intelligence is currently the main research direction of human beings, but Hawking does not believe that humanoid forms with "intelligence and thinking ability" will be respectful to the "parents" who created them.
This has been foreshadowed for a long time, and the development of modern society is highly dependent on technology. Although the speed of technological development is getting faster and faster, there are also many hidden dangers. The first is that the vast majority of people cannot live without electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc., and secondly, many so-called high-tech restaurants no longer use manual labor and buy robots once and for all.
It can be said that although some of today's smart homes have freed their hands, they have also caused many people to lose their jobs. Invisibly, the employment threshold of human beings has been raised, and finding a job has become the norm for the vast majority of people in modern times. Many people Xi in school without a teacher to tell them how to be more suitable for artificial intelligence in their professional field.
Others are already on the margins of society, and it is difficult to find a job that depends on physical strength. However, many large-scale construction sites have frequent accidents, and the equipment on large-scale construction sites is expensive, and only those who have gone to other places to find a way to survive are harmed.
It can be seen that the rapid development of science and technology has left many people unconsciously.
The second prophecy about science and technology is the genetically modified technology that has made a lot of noise a few years ago. We can't deny that most things are two-sided, but GM technology may be a bit ahead of its time.
Hawking's second type of prophecy is the story behind the human greed to destroy nature, and the secret is chilling. The earth is not a place where human beings can die infinitely, but modern warfare mostly uses all kinds of heavy weapons as weapons of mass destruction to knock on the gates of a country.
One of the most worrying is heavy chemical and biological weapons, although because of mustard gas, countries have long stopped using mustard gas as a battlefield shell. But the follow-up treatment of nuclear weapons, as well as the ultra-high radiation produced during the explosion, are definitely no worse than mustard gas, the king of poison gases.
It was a long time ago to detonate an atomic bomb or a nuclear weapon, but most of the dangers of nuclear weapons still exist. In addition, there are serious problems such as the greenhouse effect and environmental pollution caused by the pursuit of scientific and technological research and the convenience of life.
The earth may not be able to withstand such manipulation by human beings, and the places that have been hurt may be cosmetic, but it is difficult to solve the problem fundamentally.
Hawking's last type of prophecy has to do with pessimistic alien unfriendliness, but also with the vastness of outer space.
Hawking disagrees with most of the arguments that aliens can be contacted, and he feels that aliens are not friendly. Human beings should not provoke aliens before they have the power to spy on the mysteries of the universe, which is very likely to attract unfriendly "greetings" from aliens.
Many people may find it strange that the universe is vast, and it is rare to meet a group that can communicate, shouldn't the first reaction be happy?
But the perspective of everyone's thinking is between countries and meeting compatriots overseas. However, when the perspective of thinking changes to the confrontation between planets, it will become "the complex integration of higher life forms in the universe, and the first reaction is to test whether the other party is a threat to them."
This transformation is called xenophobia, and since xenophobia exists on earth even among different races, the predatory between the universes will only make xenophobia routine and frequent. Of course, it would be best if there was the ability to protect itself, but does the current earth technology and water products have the ability to protect themselves?
The answer is no, human beings are not yet able to prevent the deterioration of the earth's environment, and cannot migrate most of humanity to other planets, let alone fight in outer space, which is a slightly science fiction and even illusory reality.
So not coming into contact with aliens at this stage is really worth considering, and the rest of Hawking's prediction is the topic of the explosion of the earth and the migration of humanity. In the final analysis, this topic is still related to the development of aviation, when the development of science and technology cannot keep up with the flow of time, it is not alarmist that Hawking thinks that the earth is finished and the human race is finished.
