Over time many predictions have been made trying to determine the exact date of the end of the world. One of them was also expressed by one of the most famous physicists, Stephen Hawking, who believed that the day of reckoning will come much sooner than many thought. , the deceased scientist referred to several factors, including the increase in world population or several global problems.
When, according to Hawking, could the end of the world occur?

When could the world end?
Hawking is one of the most famous theoretical physicists in the world, while ho you can know thanks to many groundbreaking hypotheses regarding the universe and cosmology. However, before his death in 2018, the English scientist in his assumptions, he also returned back to Earth. Indeed, at the Tencent WE Summit in China in November 2017, he predicted that in less than 600 years, the end of the world could await us.
During his lecture explained that if we don’t change something in the future, the Earth could literally turn into a giant fireball. “The world’s population has been doubling every 40 years. This exponential growth simply it cannot continue until the next millennium. By the year 2600 he would cause such a huge consumption of electrical energy that it would make the Earth red hot. This is unsustainable,” Hawking said in his familiar computer-generated voice.
Recently even discovered information that Hawking’s terrifying claims were also supported by the American NASA. However, a spokesperson for the space agency noted that it did not make this claim at all. Despite that experts fear global threats to humanity. “For more than 50 years, NASA has been exploring our home planet, providing information that directly benefits humanity and delivering observations that can only be obtained from space, while they often also relate to areas researched by Hawking“, the agency said.

Is it too late to save our world? Hawking: “Although the chance that a catastrophe will actually occur on our planet in a given year may be relatively low, it is gradually increasing and will become almost certain in the next thousand or 10 thousand years.”
The deceased scientist pointed out that factors such as global warming, climate change, the greenhouse effect, as well as the increasing possibility of nuclear war, the development of artificial intelligence and the development of other epidemics. At the same time, many of them it seems that humanity has not learned much even years after the revelation of this prediction.
