How do you want the world to be in 100000 years?

Question

Personally, I don't think humanity will be extinct in 100000 years. Look at our drive to survive. I think civilization itself is still in its infancy, and that many of the world's problems of today will one day be solved.

In 100 millenia, I think people should be able to expect to never die unless they choose to. No one should be forced to work at a job away from their loved ones, most probably because everything will be automated. Or perhaps money itself will ultimately be unnecessary because we might find a way to photosynthesize our own food like plants do, and other resources might be easy to come by. I think the world's population should be relatively constant, meaning the same people will inhabit the Earth for many ages.

I think it's safe to assume everyone is dissatisfied with some aspects of the world. Well, how do you think civilization on our planet should stabilize? What kind of world do you hope our descendants will inherit in 100 millenia?

Yes, it is true that the sun will one day die. But this won't be happening any time soon. Not even in 100000 years. I think the estimate for when the sun will die is about 4.5 billion years from now.

I agree, we are going to need to do some serious recycling.

If tribes of humans survive a major catastrophe, those tribes will most probably repopulate the world and reform a new civilization.

I doubt that eternal life is an impossibility. Your argument ignored some exciting potential developments, for example, in stem-cell research.

Answer 1

I hope that the world is still here.

Answer 2

I think humanity will be extinct as we know it. Perhaps there will be small tribes of "people" but we will mostly die out by our own hands. Disease, war, starvation and many other things will contribute to humanities downfall.

If we do manage to survive as a species for that long then I doubt the world would be much better than it is now. We will have better technology, but be running out of resources unless we start digging up our landfills and reusing our waste materials.

As to the food thing, the rich will have plenty and the poor will not, hydroponics is expensive.

As to aging and never dieing that is an impossible dream. We age because our cells divide, and we are able to heal because our cells divide. To stop aging we would have to stop this process and if we stop this process we will die because our cells die and are not replaced. We will live longer, but not forever.

Answer 3

ok the earth will get hotter due to the sun getting hotter each year it's a science fact and since the sun will only last 5 billion years or so and the earth will have fried about that time but disreguarding that for now our world has been shaped by the human mind everything we think influces our actions which influces the earth's health and everything within it's atmosphere so for me it's not really the ? of what i want earth the planet to be like it's more of what do i want the human species to be like do we need to influce what our chirldern should be like by new scientific frountieers so that they evlove more then enough to take on the challenge of taking earth and making it last do we need to make them evolve so much that they overcome the elements around them so that they can no longer be hurt by the things on earth like drowing in water or fire or falling should we make thier bodies consume less energy for the same effort so they only have to eat once every 10 days instead of everyday 3 x to live healthy should we create our selves so advanced that we can create earth colone's that we can live upon incase this one is going to die out soon (in there time of course) what i am saying is do we need to adapt and overcome not just on earth like charles darwin's suvrival of the fittest therory but in the whole universe so that we do not parish as a race true we have a will to survive on earth but do we need to apply it to the rest of the universe so that we can be powerful to a degree we cannot imagine right now so that our race can control the unvirse so that we can suvrive forever as a race and futher more how much of this will be done by evolution with out our help how much should we do

Answer 4

Well just watched a documentary on the death of the sun, and it's not very inspiring, we'll either have to move underground, burn to death, or move to a new planet... lol, but maybe humans will still be alive... hopefully!
