How long (using knowledge of science and about our universe) do you think the human race will survive?

Question

What technology should we invent to keep us alive

Answer 1

Civilizations rise and fall, so it's a hard question to answer. Even in the event of a nuclear war, some will survive, and humans breed like rabbits. The only thing that would wipe out ALL humans, not just a large percentage of the population, is a global catastrophe, such as a meteor impact or epic size. All other issues are generally regional in scope, so some region of the globe will still harbor some humans. When will we be supplanted by a more advanced species? That is something that cannot be determined. Generally, the more complex the species, the less time it survives as a species. The same species of insects and microbes have existed for many millions of years, humans might make it another million, but by then they would not be recognizable as modern humans. They would likely be a different species.

Life has a way of hanging on once it gets a foothold, in one way or another. When we damage the environment, what we are doing (besides wiping out much more fragile species) is endangering our own existence by changing the parameters under which we are used to living. Like I said, civilizations rise and fall, but life seems to be more tenacious.

Answer 2

I think the situation has gone out of the control of man. We are in a drift. It is difficult to stem the tide. It is too rotten that no surgery can save it. It will be thrown into the dustbin, any time now. No more technology is required to stop the process. As a matter of fact, any further technology will only hasten the end.

Answer 3

"I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I'm an optimist. We will reach out to the stars. " - Stephen Hawking ( British physicist )

Answer 4

With all those nukes everywhere? Not too long.
Human life will still exist, of course, but with the genetic mutations that would result, who knows if they will actually be 'human'?

Other than that, it would probably be global warming that will end it, and that won't be for hundreds or possibly thousands of years.

The only way for the human race to survive is to colonize other planets, and even then we bring our problems with us.

Answer 5

100-200 years, don't know about technology though.

Answer 6

As long God wants!
