Celebrated physicist Stephen Hawking has warned that humans need to colonize another planet in 100 years or face the risk of extinction. He had previously theorized that mankind has around 1,000 years left before becoming extinct. Now the timeline appears to have shortened, as per Hawking.

The Chicago Tribune reported that the professor will present his predictions that humans have only 100 years to colonize another planet in a new BBC documentary called Stephen Hawking: Expedition New Earth. The program is scheduled to be aired later this year.

That is most certainly not going to happen in a hundred years. And why bother? So humanity can mess up another planet somewhere else, as they are messing our mother planet? This species is very likely under some kind of ET quarantine. No sane, technologically advanced space faring ET species would even think of allowing a violently destructive species like humanity to expand into interstellar space. They might let us mess up the moon, Mars, and Titan, but those are hardly the kinds of places where one could build a new Earth. It would appear that this species is doomed to an epic fail.
