Nobel laureate David Gross has been awarded the $3 million Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for his lifetime contributions to theoretical physics.
Gross warns humanity's survival is uncertain, citing risks like nuclear war, and notes that scientific progress may be limited by the constraints of human time.
A Nobel laureate gives humanity a 50% extinction chance by 2061. Is he being alarmist, or are we ignoring reality?
Could the quest for a 'theory of everything' end because humanity destroyed itself first?
Top scientists now focus on survival, not discovery. Has humanity's greatest threat become its own intelligence?
With arms control treaties gone, is a new global framework to prevent nuclear war even possible?
If AI models choose nuclear escalation in simulations, what happens when they face a real-world crisis?
AI can now approve military targets in 20 seconds. Has war already become too fast for human control?
