Our Final Hour: A Scientist’s Warning on Terror, Error & Environmental Disaster
In 'Our Final Hour,' renowned cosmologist and former UK Royal Society President Martin Rees issues a chilling warning: humanity faces a 50% chance of extinction by the end of this century. This video explores the asymmetric threats of the 21st century—bio-terror, nano-errors, nuclear proliferation, and climate tipping points. Rees argues that technology empowers lone actors to trigger global catastrophe, and even seemingly safe experiments (like creating a black hole) carry unacceptable risks. Discover why this century is Earth's most critical, and what it means for our future in the cosmos.
