do we shape the future? Will we survive on Earth? Should we colonise space? Is time travel
possible? Throughout his extraordinary career  Stephen Hawking expanded our understanding of
the universe and unravelled some of its greatest mysteries. But even as his theoretical work on
black holes  imaginary time and multiple histories took his mind to the furthest reaches of
space  Hawking always believed that science could also be used to fix the problems on our
planet. And now  as we face potentially catastrophic changes here on Earth - from climate
change to dwindling natural resources to the threat of artificial super-intelligence - Stephen
