"David Gross stated, 'Even after the Cold War ended, when we had strategic arms control treaties, all of which have disappeared, there were estimates that there was a one percent chance of nuclear war every year.'"
"Gross expressed concern, saying, 'Things have gotten so much worse in the last 30 years, as you can see every time you read the newspaper,' referring to renewed nuclear threats and escalating global tensions."
"He calculated, 'The expected lifetime, in the case of two percent per year, is about 35 years,' indicating the dire implications of current nuclear risks."
"Gross remarked, 'There are now nine nuclear powers. Even three is infinitely more complicated than two,' highlighting the increasing complexity of nuclear diplomacy."
David Gross warns that humanity may have just over 35 years left due to the risk of nuclear war. He estimates a two percent chance of nuclear conflict annually, translating to a one-in-50 chance each year. Gross notes that the situation has worsened over the past 30 years, with no major nuclear arms-control treaties signed in the last decade. He emphasizes the complexity of managing nine nuclear powers and highlights the expiration of the last US-Russia nuclear treaty in 2026.
