Hawkins says mankind has perhaps 1,000 years left

LOS ANGELES, Wednesday, April 10, 2013 — Stephen Hawkins, the English cosmologist who is considered the greatest theoretical physicist since  Einstein, told employees at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center that he believes mankind will not survive unless man is able to  vacate Planet Earth within 1,000 years and move elsewhere. He urged for man to continue his exploration of space.

Hawkins: Man has 1000 years left.

Hawkins, who suffers from Lou Gehrig’s disease and is the longest known survivor with it, visited the center after being invited to see the efforts being made in stem-cell research, directed toward a cure of the disease. Most people who suffer with the affliction live only about 10 years. Scientists don’t know why Hawkins has lived 50 years with it. Hawkins is 70.

Hawkins is known for his research into the existence of black holes, which are believed to exist at the center of galaxies, and are so dense and subject to such tremendous gravitational forces that light cannot even escape them, and they are the force that hold galaxies in place as they spin.
Hawkins wrote a book, “A History of Time,” in which he explained the workings of the universe, and said that the cosmos had a beginning and began as a dot, or singularity, and then exploded to create what we see as the stars and galaxies. The book sold 10 million copies worldwide.

When he was first diagnosed with the disease, he became extremely depressed and did not want to continue his studies, but he forged ahead anyway, overcoming his handicap with a brilliant intellect that eventually solved mathematically some of the mysteries of the universe.
He told Sinai employees,

“However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.”

His disease has destroyed his muscles and ability to function physically, but he communicates through the use of a computer.
