Video: Steven Hawking telling us to get packing and head for the stars

Stephen William Hawking, CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA (born 8 January 1942) is a British theoretical physicist, whose scientific career spans over forty years. His books and public appearances have made him an academic celebrity and he is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and in 2009 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.


I remember him saying in his earlier books that he did not think aliens existed because if they did. We would have probably had a visit by now. Steven Hawking is now telling the citizens of the beautiful blue. They time is up not more than maybe a 100 or 200 years. The earth cannot sustain the growth of the human race any more than this, with all it's depleting natural resources. We are running out of time. 


This revelation by Professor Hawking has already opened up loads of discussions across all sorts of Media. People of all races, creeds and colors have something else to think about. What do you think?
