"I think," writes Martin Rees, "the odds are no better
than fifty-fifty that our present civilisation on Earth
will survive to the end of the present century."
Astronomer Royal and a world leader in cosmology,
Sir Martin is known for not reaching conclusions
hastily. Even if he is right, our species may have a
much better than even chance of surviving the
century. It might survive on Earth in uncivilised,
Stone Age conditions. It might survive in
extraterrestrial colonies. Still, he does give us rather
strong reasons for setting up those colonies.
