Hawking predicted that mankind would eventually leave the earth. How far is interstellar migration from realization?
With the continuous progress of society and the continuous development of human science and technology, many people begin to look forward to interstellar migration, and these ideas frequently appear in many science fiction novels or science fiction movies.

Moreover, Hawking, the greatest physicist after Einstein, also expressed his views on human space immigrants at the Stalma Festival to celebrate science and art held in Trondheim, Norway.

He believes that with the continuous acceleration of the process of human society, the impact on the earth's environment will be greater and greater. In the future, problems such as AI robots and genetic viruses will affect whether human beings can continue to survive on this beautiful blue planet, so for human beings, they must escape from the earth within 100 years. If they don't emigrate to space, they will probably become extinct.

In the vast universe, the earth also has many crises outside the universe. For example, when a black hole or neutron star approaches, their strong gravity can easily tear up the whole solar system in an instant; Asteroids pass the earth from time to time, and if they are not careful, they will directly hit the earth.

Although the probability of these cosmic crises is relatively small, no one can guarantee that they will not suddenly come one day. And if human civilization wants to continue, it must be taken seriously.

So, can humans achieve interstellar migration? Bian Xiao believes that this needs to be seriously considered from the following two aspects.

First, find a planet similar to the earth's environment, with water, a suitable atmosphere and a suitable temperature.

Scientists find this kind of earth-like planet every year, but they will report it whenever possible. Although limited by the level of science and technology, there is no way to give a definite answer, but Bian Xiao seems to think that everything is possible in the future. Only by looking at the achievements of mankind in the past few decades, we can have such a profound experience.

Second, build a light-speed spaceship.

As we all know, in the vast universe, the distance between planets is very far away, and the distance between celestial bodies in the universe is usually measured in light years. If we only rely on the current speed of human beings, it is far from realizing the dream of the universe. This shows how important it is to build a spaceship, a spaceship that can fly at the speed of light, or even fly beyond the speed of light.

If we want to go to more distant galaxies and explore more, then flying at the speed of light is far from our requirements. Therefore, the realization of wormhole time-space crossing is particularly important. This is an important way to the new world.

Moreover, the realization of interstellar migration does not mean? Abandon the earth? If human beings can discover the new continent and emigrate, the pressure on the earth will be reduced, and the earth will be able to repair itself and all the harm caused by human beings.
