Earth After a 5000 Years!!!!
EARTH AFTER A 5000 YEARS!!!!
If you could travel back in time five centuries, you'd encounter a thriving Aztec empire in Central Mexico, a freshly painted "Mona Lisa" in Renaissance Europe and cooler temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere.
This was a world in the midst of the Little Ice Age
(A.D. 1300 to 1850) and a period of vast European exploration now known as the Age of Discovery.
But what if we could look 500 years into the future and glimpse the Earth of the 26th century? Would the world seem as different to us as the 21st century would have seemed to residents of the 16th century? Human technology has advanced significantly over the past
5,000 years, and the Earth bears the scars to prove it.
We've altered the landscape, the climate and the biological diversity. We've erected skyscrapers for the living and colossal tombs for the dead. Perhaps most important, we've learned to harness a portion of the planet's energy, but we still thirst for so much more power.
Technology has improved exponentially since the 1500s, and this pace will likely continue in the centuries to come.
Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600, this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds. If Moore's Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double every
18 months, then some of these studies may be the work of highly intelligent machines.
What other technologies will shape the world of the 26th century? Futurist and author Adrian Berry believes the human life span will reach 140 years and that the digital storage of human personalities will enable a kind of computerized immortality. Humans will farm the oceans, in starships and reside in both lunar and Martian colonies while robots explore the outer cosmos.
nobody can say anything for certain about life on earth 5000 years after.everyone has its own view.
Regardless, a lot can happen in
