Our genetic code carries selfish and aggressive instincts.
It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster in the next 100 years,
-- let alone the next thousand,"
--Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking said
The human race will become extinct unless it leaves Earth--
--and colonises space within the next two centuries
--according to Professor Stephen Hawking, the world’s most famous astrophysicist.
In an interview with ‘Big Think’ portal, Dr. Hawking has said he’s an “optimist” but the next few hundred years had to be negotiated carefully if the human race is to survive.
He said: “I see great danger for the human race. There have been a number of times in the past when survival has been a question of touch and go. The Cuban missile crisis in 1963 is one of these.
“The frequency of such occasions is likely to increase in the future. We shall need great care and judgment to negotiate them all successfully. But I am an optimist. If we can avoid disaster for the next two centuries our species should be safe as we spread into space.”
Dr. Hawking has warned that mankind was entering “an increasingly dangerous period of our history”. “Our population and use of the finite resources of planet Earth and growing exponentially along with out technical ability to change the environment for good and ill.
“But our genetic code carries selfish and aggressive instincts that were a survival advantage in the past. It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster in the next 100 years let alone the next thousand or a million. Our only chance of long term survival is not to remain on Earth but to spread into space.
“We have made remarkable progress in the last 100 years but if we want to continue beyond the next 100 years our future is in space,” the ‘Daily Mail’ quoted him as telling the portal.

Human-brain on a Microchip!
http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/tec...?homepage=true
.Turning into reality of science fiction films such as "The Terminator" - where machines and men meld into reality - Canadian scientists have successfully connected brain cells to a silicon chip to "hear" conversation between brain tissue.
The neuro-chip, which has been developed by medicine scientists at the University of Calgary, will network brain cells and thus record brain cell activity at a resolution never achieved before, according to Naweed Syed who led the team that made the breakthrough.
The neuro-chip will help future understanding of how brain cells work under normal conditions and thus permit drug discoveries for a variety of neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, a university statement said on Tuesday.
"This technical breakthrough means we can track subtle changes in brain activity at the level of ion channels and synaptic potentials, which are also the most suitable target sites for drug development in neuro-degenerative diseases and neuropsychological disorders," Naweed Syed, who is professor and head of the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, has been quoted as saying.
The new neuro-chips are also automated.
"Previously it took years of training to learn how to record ion channel activity from brain cells, and it was only possible to monitor one or two cells simultaneously. Now, larger networks of cells can be placed on a chip and observed in minute detail, allowing the analysis of several brain cells networking and performing automatic, large-scale drug screening for various brain dysfunctions," the university statement said.
The University of Calgary is excited at the potential of this made in Canada technology, said university vice president Rose Goldsmith.
"The University of Calgary is proud to be the home of this cutting edge Canadian work with a neurochip. The advances in research and healthcare made by possible by this technology are immense. The work and collaboration happening in the lab of Naweed Syed is another example demonstrating our leadership in the field of biomedical engineering."
The new technology has been published online this month in the journal, Biomedical Microdevices.
