The future of the earth. How long humans last??

 

The big questions today include if you traveled 10,000 years into the future, what would Planet Earth look like?

would most of its surface be covered in volcanoes or steam? Or ice??

What if you traveled even further to 1 million years in the future? Would all of the oceans have evaporated? Or would it have become one giant Waterworld?

Okay, now, what about 1 billion years?

Would there be any humans left? Or settle on another earth??

This is what if, and here's what would happen if you traveled 1 billion years into the future?

Several key existential threats face the human race. And if we want to be around in 1 billion years, we'll need to endure them all. We have struggled a lot just to survive pandemic COVID-19. This is only an atom thing compared to the future of the planet. Can we imagine the earth with the threats of climate change, overpopulation, hotter sun, and many other factors??

Just under 10,000 years from now, we're going to run into a big problem called the Decca Millennium bug. It means Software encoding the ad calendar year won't encode dates with more than four decimals in the year 10,000 AD and on the bright side, in 10,000 years, it is estimated that genetic differences and traits between humans species will no longer be regional traits. It means skin and hair color will be evenly distributed around the world. Maybe that will help us all get along. Finally,20,000 years into the future, none of the current languages will be recognizable future languages will only contain 1% of the core vocabulary words of their present-day counterparts.

50,000 years from now we'll mark a new glacial period for the earth, which will start a new Ice Age. Niagara Falls will erode Lake Erie wholly. And interestingly, a full day on earth will also increase by one second at this point. So much more time for activities.

In 250,000 years, the low E volcano will rise above the water and it is estimated to form a new island in Hawaii.

And in 500,000 years, an asteroid with a diameter greater than one kilometer will likely hit Earth unless we can prevent it. The resulting crater will be more than 400 kilometers across which is very huge. It will start fires all over the planet and make the air unbreathable affecting all the ecosystems. So there's something to look forward to.

And in case that's not enough, in 1 million years, we'll likely have another supervolcano eruption large enough to spew out 3200 cubic kilometers of ash, it would produce enough lava to fill 75% of the Grand Canyon. The nearby star Beetlejuice will have exploded into a supernova by this time making it visible from Earth even during the daytime.

In 2 million years, humanity will have settlements throughout the solar system. It also means that humans if existed on another earth would have muted or evolved to another species.

It is predicted that in 10 million years, a huge part of Eastern Africa will break off and form a new ocean basin.

In 50 million years Africa will collide with Eurasia, and a new mountain range will a form will be closing off the Mediterranean Sea between them which may be taller than Mt. Everest which lies now in Nepal.

It is estimated that out in space, Mars will collide with its moon, resulting in it developing a ring system like Saturn's.

In 60 and 80  million years, the Canadian and American The rockies will have eroded completely and all Hawaiian Islands will be below the oceans respectively.

In 100 million years, an asteroid similar to the one that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago will likely hit Earth, one that is 10 kilometers wide.

In 200, and 50 million years, all of Earth's continents will be fused like Pangea, except this time, it will be called Pangea ultimate, but don't get too attached to it. Because in 400 to 500 million years Pangea Ultima will separate again.

In 500, to 600 million years, a gamma-ray burst will likely occur within 6500 light-years from Earth. It could trigger mass extinction by destructing the ozone layer if it strikes the blue planet.

The moon will be so far from Earth, that total solar eclipses won't take place after 600 million years.

And the sun's increasing luminosity will have raised temperatures on earth so much that it could halt plate tectonics movement.

In 800 million years, carbon dioxide levels will drop dramatically, and photosynthesis will no longer be possible.

Complex life on earth will die because free oxygen and ozone will be gone from the atmosphere.

And finally, in 1 billion years, the sun's luminosity will have increased by 10%. And the average temperature on earth will be 47 degrees Celsius. and our oceans will evaporate, leaving just pockets of water at each of the poles and our atmosphere will feel like a damp greenhouse which would seem a pity compared to today's world.

When you arrive here in your time machine, be mentally prepared to take on planet earth that looks nothing like the one you remember.

The human race will be gone.

Because of the intense heat, lack of water, and lack of breathable air, the earth will be uninhabitable.

Maybe we'll find other forms of intelligent life through research.
