Mankind is at danger from a progression of threats of our own making, as per Prof Stephen Hawking.
Atomic war, a worldwide temperature alteration and hereditarily designed infections are among the situations which he singles out.
What's more, he says that further advance inhttp://www.planetcoexist.com/main/user/14238 science and innovation will make "new ways things can turn out badly".
Prof Hawking is giving the current year's BBC Reith Lectures, which investigate research into dark openings, and his notice came in answer to gathering of people inquiries.
He says that expecting mankind in the long run builds up settlements on different universes, it will have the capacity to survive.
"In spite of the fact that the shot of a catastrophe to planet Earth in a given year might be very low, it includes after some time, and turns into a close assurance in the following thousand or ten thousand years.
"At that point we ought to have spread out into space, and to different stars, so a debacle on Earth would not mean the end of humankind.
"Be that as it may, we won't build up self-managing provinces in space for at any rate the following hundred years, so we must be extremely watchful in this period."
Prof Hawking's first Reith Lecture will be telecast on 26 January and on 2 February at 9am on BBC Radio 4. BBC World Service audience members can tune in on 26 January at 15:06 GMT and 2 February at 15:06 GMT or make up for lost time online by means of www.bbc.com/worldserviceradio
BBC News online will be distributed the content of Prof Hawking's addresses with join notes by our science proofreader, David Shukman.
It is unexpected that such a conspicuous figure in science distinguishes experimental advancement itself as the significant wellspring of new dangers.
On past events, he has highlighted the potential dangers of manmade brainpower (AI) turning out to be sufficiently effective to bring about the annihilation of humankind.
In any case, he demands that ways will be found to adapt.
"We are not going to quit gaining ground, or turn around it, so we need to perceive the threats and control them. I'm a self assured person, and I trust we can."
Requested guidance for youthful researchers, Prof Hawking said they ought to hold a feeling of miracle about "our unlimited and complex" Universe.
"From my own point of view, it has been a radiant time to be alive and doing research in hypothetical material science. There is in no way such as the Eureka snippet of finding something that nobody knew some time recently."
In any case, he additionally said that future eras of analysts ought to know about how logical and innovative advancement is changing the world, and to help the more extensive open comprehend it.
"It's vital to guarantee that these progressions are heading in the right bearings. In a law based society, this implies everybody needs a fundamental comprehension of science to settle on educated choices about what's to come.
"So impart obviously what you are attempting to do in science, and who knows, you may even wind up comprehension it yourself."
Since his conclusion with engine neurone sickness, Prof Hawking's determination to conquer the massive physical difficulties of his handicap has been a wellspring of overall appreciation and interest.
His little girl Lucy, a columnist and essayist, http://www.misterpoll.com/users/357978who has co-composed youngsters' science books with Prof Hawking, was requested that clarify his drive.
"I believe he's hugely willful and has an extremely fortunate wish to continue going and the capacity to summon every one of his saves, all his vitality, all his mental center and squeeze all of them into that objective of continuing onward," she said.
"Be that as it may, not simply to continue going for the reasons of survival, however to rise above this by creating exceptional work, composing books, giving addresses, rousing other individuals with neurodegenerative and different handicaps, and being a family man, a companion and an associate to such a large number of individuals and staying aware of companions over the world."
