Stephen Hawking’s End Of The World Prediction is Coming Sooner Than We Think
Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking warned before his 2018 death that Earth could become uninhabitable within 600 years if current trends continue. At a 2017 summit, he explained that exponential population growth and unsustainable energy consumption would eventually make the planet a “giant ball of fire,” with overcrowding and extreme heat rendering it “untenable” by 2600. NASA has echoed concerns about these existential threats through decades of planetary research.
Hawking told the BBC in 2016 that while annual disaster risks seem small, they accumulate into near-certainty over millennia. He specifically cited climate change, global warming, and greenhouse effects as primary dangers, alongside other predicted threats like pandemics, AI, and nuclear war. His dire forecast serves as a urgent call for humanity to change course before reaching a point of no return.
