Mankind cannot survive for thousands of years if it does not find itself a new habitat – beyond the borders of “our fragile planet.” So believes the famous British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who entered ten geniuses of our time. 71-year-old scientist called for salvation of the human race more actively explore the cosmos. Own he expressed his opinion by giving a lecture in one of the medical centers of Los Angeles, reports CBS. “Just understand how the Universe is functioning, and it can be controlled, “said he. And he gave advice: “Look at the stars, not under your feet. Be inquisitive “,” No matter how hard life is, you can always find a business in which you will succeed. “Hawking is not the first time voiced the idea the search for a new, extraterrestrial home for humanity. Similar idea he expressed in 2006, and in 2011 said: “Our only chance long-term survival – not to hide on planet Earth, but scatter in space. “At the same time, Hawking believes that in many parts of the universe there is biological life but warns from contact with her. “Some forms of conscious life can be a huge danger to us. I do not exclude that our planet can be subjugated and plundered by aliens “, – he said in one of his popular television shows in 2010. IN as an argument, the scientist suggested taking a look at the experience of of humanity. “If aliens ever visit us, I think the result will be much the same as the result of the expedition Columbus for Native Americans – its development has ended for they’re not very favorable, “said the briton. In Los Angeles medical center Steven Hawking arranged a tour of the laboratory stem cells trying to find a way to slow down development an incurable disease – amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. it U.S. degenerative central nervous system disease called Lou Gehrig’s disease. She was discovered by Hawking for 50 years. back when he was still in Cambridge. The head of the medical center admitted which cannot explain Hawking’s longevity, because most people with this diagnosis rarely live more than a dozen years. At the person’s breathing becomes more difficult, and the muscles weaken to complete immobilization. According to the director, he met long-lived patients. “But 50 years is uncharacteristic, if not say more, “he added. Hawking himself says that a terrible diagnosis made to him at age 21, plunged him into a deep depressed. He was aiming for a doctorate, and, learning about illness, it was decided that this was pointless. In the end, he is still continued his studies and, as the years have shown, not in vain. Hawking acquired incredible popularity outside the scientific world – at the very the general public, which was fascinated by esoteric physics. Books of the scientist in this area have become bestsellers – they diverge in millions copies around the world. Now stephen hawking chained to wheelchair needs round-the-clock assistance. The only movement he is able to do on his own is it is tugging on the cheek. Communication takes place through the built-in wheelchair computer, transmitting the thoughts of the owner monotonous the voice of a robot. But despite this situation, Hawking remains in all senses active. So, in 2007, the scientist visited zero gravity, like on spaceships. In 2009, the President of the United States Barack Obama awarded Briton one of the country’s top awards for civilians – by the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
