This time, however, the deadline is even tighter.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to The Royal Society in London ahead of the Starmus IV festival to be held this June in Trondheim, Norway, Hawking reiterated his desire for humanity to unite with the singular purpose of becoming a multi-planetary species.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI strongly believe we should start seeking alternative planets for possible habitation,\u201d\u00a0Hawking said, adding that\u00a0\u201cWe are running out of space on Earth and we need to break through the technological limitations preventing us from living elsewhere in the universe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hawking has significantly revised the 1,000-year timeline he gave in November last year, as he now believes humanity has just 100 years to develop the technology for planetary colonization.<\/p>\n<p>In the opinion of his colleagues, the main driver behind the dramatically revised estimate is climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what it comes down to is explaining how the data of climate change has been collected and how the scientific process works and how data is tested over and over again and I think it\u2019s an educational job,\u201d\u00a0said Neuroscientist and Nobel Laureate Edvard Moser, who will also be at the Starmus event, as cited by Wired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s a single sentence I could say that would change anyone\u2019s mind overnight but I think it\u2019s a long term thing,\u201d\u00a0Moser added.<\/p>\n<p>Hawking has become increasingly wary of the potential role AI could play in humanity\u2019s development and eventual colonization of other worlds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI fear the consequences of creating something that can match or surpass humans. AI would take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate,\u201d\u00a0he previously stated.\u00a0\u201cHumans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn\u2019t compete and would be superseded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/viral\/389034-hawking-mankind-new-planet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/www.rt.com\/viral\/389034-hawking-mankind-new-planet\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL\u2019S COMMENT: Colonization is not the proper word as it means violence, genocides, and expropriations of the local inhabitants, something white Europeans are used to\u2026 The Elohim will never allow us to commit these crimes.
