When he wasn’t solving the mysteries of black holes and revolutionizing theoretical physics, Stephen Hawking spoke (a lot) about how the world would end.
From Terminator-style robots taking over to Donald Trump, these are some of the late scientist’s most terrifying doomsday predictions.
Earth will turn into a giant fireball
Humanity is at a “tipping point,” Hawking warned last July.
He added that global warming would cause the Earth to become like Venus, with a global temperature of 482 degrees Fahrenheit and sulphuric acid raining from the sky.
“By the year 2600, the world’s population would be standing shoulder to shoulder and the electricity consumption would make the Earth glow red-hot,” he told a gathering of scientists in Beijing, China.
Our best bet is to leave Earth completely, predicted Hawking.
