End of the world or new home in the stars? Stephen Hawking's dark prophecy
Stephen Hawking

The great scientist Stephen Hawking's darkest warning for humanity appears to be coming true sooner than expected. Hawking, known for his studies of black holes, used his fame to draw attention to the dangers threatening our world, from climate change to artificial intelligence.

In a speech given in 2016, he predicted that, although the likelihood of a global catastrophe within a year is low, it becomes almost inevitable in the next 1,000 or 10,000 years.

The only solution, he says? Start looking for new homes on other stars, so that a hit to Earth doesn't mean the end of the human race.

But recent data suggests that time is not as promising as Hawking thought. In January 2026, the “Doomsday Clock,” a symbolic tool that shows how close humanity is to annihilation, was set to its most critical point: just 85 seconds to midnight. This is the shortest time in the clock’s 79-year history, indicating that the risk of nuclear war, biological weapons, and the climate crisis is higher than ever.

Moreover, environmental predictions are alarming; scientists say that by March 2029, global temperatures will have risen by 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, a tipping point that could be of no return for our planet.

Instead of coming together to solve these problems, major powers like the US, China and Russia are engaging in a new race, this time for resources in space.

Although billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are promoting the idea of ​​life on other planets as a "backup plan," this race is fueling competition and nationalism more than cooperation.

While artificial intelligence is advancing at a galloping pace, consuming endless resources and becoming part of military systems, Hawking's fear that it could spiral out of human control remains current.

However, despite these bleak predictions, Hawking was optimistic to the end, believing that humanity will know how to rise up and face these challenges before it is too late.
