A survival imperative for the Human Race

In 1993, J. Richard Gott III computed with scientific certainty that humanity would survive at least 5,100 more years but less than 7.8MM years...

What a great article and interesting thinking.

Even though I vaguely understand the math, I wholeheartedly agree!

We need to move "Up" and out before something happens!
