Dr. Hawking released a movie at the "2017 Tencent WE Summit" held in Beijing on Sunday, November 5, due to the rapid population growth in the world and the increase in energy consumption, 600 years later the Earth is "fireball "It was said that it would have changed.

And humanity "needs to go to places that have never been done," Dr. Hawking said. The "breakthrough star shot" project in which he participates said that it is the first step to find a way to escape the earth that became a fireball.

Breakthrough star shot is aimed at accelerating to a 20% of the speed of light by irradiating a very small space explorer with powerful laser light from the ground and reaching a planet several light years away It was a project. A team led by Russian wealthy Yuri Milner announced in 2016 and Dr. Hawking and Facebook's Zuckerberg on Facebook are named for the project.

Dr. Hawking said, "Behind this innovation is the idea of ​​using a nanotechnology-based spacecraft and beam" "Such a system can reach Mars within an hour and to Pluto in a few days I can reach it. "Centaurus seat Alpha starWe can reach it in about 20 years. "

Also, at another speech, held on November 6, 2017, Mr. Hawking suggested that "competent artificial intelligence is the greatest or worst event in history in our culture" .
