Re: Destiny of humanity and complex life on the Earth

WOW T-bird, I think I like your universe better than mine. While some of these things would be great if they happen I am trying to base this on things we know are possible within the limits of the technology we know now. Our Earth is a wonderful place but humans have developed during a time span when disruptive geological events of truly global scope have been few and no real threats from space. This charmed life cannot go on forever. Eventually a super volcano will erupt or a large asteroid or comet will hit the Earth. Before those things can happen we have the power to destroy our selves. And there is always the sun waiting in the wings slowly turning up the heat. I can see the possibility of our civilization collapsing and rising back up maybe once but more than twice would seem to stretch the possibilities quite a bit. So far I see no new possibilities for humanity, I like T-Birds vision but I see no reason to think it might happen.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
