Stephen Hawking:"Mankind must move to outer space within a century"
Aquila ka Hecate: "Only if you take the Machine with you."
And good riddance, I might add.
What's with some of these scientists, that they stay perpetual little boys, full of Amazing Stories and Flash Gordon, all their lives?
I've met Hawking, and wasn't impressed by his deep consciousness - that is, he has an admirable brain for hard science, but none at all for anything else. Escaping the planet we've ruined is just, well, bloody irresponsible as well as fairly typical of the mindset which got our life-system into the mess it is today. To say nothing of the view of Earth as another bit of..material.
I wonder how he treated his mother?
If you're reading that article, take a look at the comments while you're about it. I swear, the Brits just get more and more stereotypically atheist by the day. It's as if the whole nation is suddenly anxious to distance themselves from 'silly religion' and show how tough-minded they are. Blech. Been there, done that.
However, if we could place a select few on a rocket to shoot into the Sun, that might not be so bad. ;)
ReplyDeleteHear hear. It boggles the mind that we should just leave a big ol' mess and go lay waste to some other sphere. Have we learned NOTHING??
ReplyDeleteWell, those folks can leave earth and I'd be happy to see them gone. I'll stay here and see what I can do to let things go back to the way the mama had it before we destroyed how many species never to see them again? Here or on any other planet.
Right on. Thanks for saying this. It was my thought too. He and the rapture ready should all go together.
