Stephen Hawking, who passed away, believed that the end of the planet was imminent. Even though it’s a somber topic to think about on a Tuesday morning, here we are.
One of the most well-known scientists in history once said something terrible about what will happen to humanity if we keep going in the same direction.
Although Hawking was no stranger to making forecasts about the future, this one stands out as one of his most well-known because it offered us a year to watch.
In less than 600 years, the renowned scientist and creator of The Theory of Everything predicted a dire future for humanity.
Before he passed away in 2018, he said that unless humanity made a change, factors like population expansion and energy use may turn the Earth into a “giant ball of fire.”
