When a group of Nobel Prize Winners Predicts 'Doomsday'
Around 50 Nobel Prize winners have predicted the 10 biggest threats to mankind.
In a survey, the intelligent people expressed their fear that nuclear war, environmental disaster, and even Facebook would pose a risk to the future of mankind.
The Times Higher Education recently asked smart people about "the greatest threat to mankind".
The answering experts are known as award winners and represent a quarter of Nobel Prize winners in physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, and economics. They are also regarded as the smartest people in the world.
More than a third (34 percent) say that population increases or environmental degradation represent the greatest apocalyptic risk.
In second place is a nuclear war, then there is a thrashing disease, and drug-resistant insects.
Artificial intelligence is also highlighted as a risk, as well as selfishness, inequality, terrorism, and even Donald Trump.
Facebook and drugs are also called threats, entering the top 10 after they are identified by one of the respondents.
"Humans are very busy with the biggest climate experiments since the ice age," said John Mather, a senior cosmologist at NASA, told Times Higher Education, who conducted the survey.
With tensions between nuclear North Korea and the United States, it is not surprising that 23 percent say that nuclear war can cause doomsday.
A smart man from Israel is very worried about the "warm dictatorship." While the smart Germans are nervous about the "populist regime that possesses nuclear weapons."
Nothing wrong, the two men, specifically pointed to the figure of Donald Trump.
"I do not think science can do much for him," one of the respondents said.
Nevertheless, some scientists believe we can survive and even further develop after the devastation.
"The human species is a successful figure that makes the world a better place," said one other.
Even if we destroy the world and cause mass extinctions that make it uninhabitable, it believes that humans can survive by flying into space.
"The main insurance scheme is to make people into multiplanet species," says an astrologer.
"And science certainly has a big part to it."
Elon Musk is one of the many people who have thought of that idea.
Musk previously claimed that Mars had a planetary layer. He also suggested that a nuclear bomb dropped on its surface to heat up its atmosphere to make it suitable for human colonization.
约有50位诺贝尔奖获得者已经预测到人类面临的十大威胁。 在一项调查中，智慧人士表示担心核战争，环境灾难甚至Facebook将对人类的未来构成风险。 泰晤士高等教育最近向聪明人问了“对人类最大的威胁”。 答辩专家被称为获奖者，代表诺贝尔物理学，化学，生理学，医学和经济学四分之一的获奖者。他们也被认为是世界上最聪明的人。 三分之一（34％）表示人口增加或环境退化是最大的启示性风险。 第二名是核战争，那么就有一种颠簸的疾病和耐药昆虫。 人造智能也被强调为风险，以及自私，不平等，恐怖主义，甚至唐纳德·特朗普。 Facebook和毒品也被称为威胁，被其中一个受访者确定为前10名。 NASA的高级宇宙学家约翰•马瑟（John Mather）表示：“人类对冰河时代以来最大的气候实验非常忙碌，他表示。 由于核北朝鲜与美国之间的紧张局势，23％的人表示核战争可能会造成太阳日，这并不奇怪。 来自以色列的聪明人非常担心“温和的独裁”。虽然聪明的德国人对“拥有核武器的民粹主义政权”感到紧张。 没有错，这两个人，特别指出唐纳德·特朗普的数字。 其中一位受访者表示：“我不认为科学对他来说可以做很多事情。” 然而，一些科学家认为，在破坏之后，我们可以生存下去，甚至进一步发展。 “人类是一个成功的人物，使世界变得更美好，”另一个说。 即使我们摧毁世界，造成大规模灭绝，使其不能居住，它相信人类可以通过飞入太空而生存下去。 占星师说：“主要的保险计划是让人们进入多物种。 “科学肯定有很大的一部分。” Elon Musk是想到这个想法的很多人之一。 麝香以前声称火星有一个行星层。他还表示，核弹在其表面下降，以加热其气氛，使其适合人类殖民化。
