British scientist Stephen Hawking supported the idea of creating a world government. The physicist told about this in an interview with The Times.
According to the scientist, the world is currently under threat of destruction as a result of biological or nuclear war. This is a manifestation of human aggression, which previously contributed to evolution.
“We need to control this inherited instinct with logic and common sense,” says Hawking. He notes that this can be provided by "some form of world government", which, according to the scientist, does not exclude the emergence of other problems, including dictatorship.
Hawking has made many controversial statements. For example, earlier he proclaimed the onset of "the most dangerous time on the planet", and also called for fleeing the Earth and ignoring the aliens. In 2015, a British scientist announced plans to become a trademark.
Hawking's main scientific result is related to the description of radiation from black holes. The physicist's research was prompted by a visit to the USSR in the 1970s, as a result of which the Briton learned that Vladimir Gribov takes it for granted that black holes emit due to vacuum fluctuations. The Soviet physicist did not publish a single article on this subject, and Hawking quantitatively calculated the thermal spectrum of a black hole.
Hawking became widely known after his popular science book A Brief History of Time was published in April 1988. It has been translated into dozens of languages and published with a total circulation of over 10 million copies.
