4. Hawking: Abandon Earth or Face Extinction (BigThink.com)
   "Stephen Hawking: I believe that the long term future of the human race must be in space. It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster on planet Earth in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million.

9. Could We Be in a Giant Simulation? (Time.com)
   "Start with the assumption that we’ll actually be able to simulate the universe, or small portions of it, perfectly someday — a pretty big assumption, since we’re still trying to reconcile disparate physical and cosmological theories like quantum mechanics and general relativity, to say nothing of Stephen Hawking’s and Leonard Mlodinow’s idea in The Grand Design that “ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature.” (In fact most days, we’re lucky if we’re getting the weather right.)"
   
   "But according to University of Washington physics professor Martin Savage, we could test our universe for computational artifice by looking for the sort of 'signatures' you’d find in current-day simulations." 12-12
