Quotes

In response to the question "What worries you the most about the future of the universe?", Stephen Hawking replied:
"I am not worried about the future of the universe. The universe will continue whatever happens, but the future of the human race and of life on earth is much less certain. We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity."


In conjunction with this idea, Charles Darwin contributes an interesting point:
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

Through these two sharp minds, it is clear that selfishness and incomprehension is what is endangering the human race and holding back science. Because of continued aggravation of Earth, science is always one step behind finding a problem.
