Can we prevent the end of the world?

This is my effort to spread the news and open the public eyes on this subject which was beautifully explained by prof. Martin Rees during his talk for TED. You can watch his talk here.

Published on March, 2014 by TED
"A post-apocalyptic Earth, emptied of humans, seems like the stuff of science fiction TV and movies. But in this short, surprising talk, Lord Martin Rees asks us to think about our real existential risks — natural and human-made threats that could wipe out humanity. As a concerned member of the human race, he asks: What’s the worst thing that could possibly happen?"





What you read in follow are my students essays on his talk as part of the course "History of Astronomy", trying to elaborate the subject and to suggest solution. All students have signed the "consent to publication" form for their essays to be used here and they take full responsibility for what they have written. Please feel free to comment on their work or make a link to their work. I hope we can raise more awareness on human action and his responsibility toward Earth and Nature.
