Trying something a bit different than usual. Hope you guys like it.
I always enjoy your videos.
Great video, but I think the younger people watching this video will live to see the first commercial fusion reactor come online. In general I think the pace of advancement will be much faster, AI, real AI will be a make or break point for humans.
Very unlikely future, but I'm glad you understand the central role of energy, and that technology is useless without it. Wonder if you have addressed peak oil and EROEI in past videos.
thanks for the upload, i'll let you know after i'm done in approx. 12 min
You make fantastic video's. I think you explain a lot better than most of the people who talks about this, because you're saying it in a way that's a lot easier to understand than others.
Great video as always. This is how I've imagined the route that humanity would progress through if we're given the chance throughout time. Thank you for the time and effort that's spent creating these videos for us. They've helped expand any thoughts that I've had regarding some of the subjects as well as give new thoughts for subjects I haven't considered as of yet.
Please keep up the work. :)
This was amazing. I'd love to see more possible futures in this format.
Wait what? Sharkee doesn't even have 100k subs yet?? HOW? HE'S AWESOME!
Yes. Sharkee this is impressive.
Would I take the opportunity to upload my consciousnesses? Sure.
If I were to find out tomorrow that I was merely a computer program, I'd probably , at first, be extremely confused, maybe a bit stressed out. But then I'd just continue my life as I always had.
It all sounds fantastical, very complex. But all we can experience is what we experience. How we experience these experiences shouldnt really matter, I dont think. If that makes sense.
Brilliant
Loving this
A sociological future is slightly more interesting than a technological future. Every advancement you mentioned appeared to be spurred on by human laziness, and how we should try and not damage the world too much while we strive towards even more laziness
10 Trillion years is not enough I don't want to die ... death is so scary
Sad future if this actually happens :( good to know i wont be around of that
That....that was super depressing....
Yeah right?
Human colonising the stars and living for billions of years is depressing? This video is about the most optimistic thing we could ever even dream of. What the hell? Your use of the word depressing is just weird.
It's depressing because I doubt humans will even survive as far as in this video.
nake89 It's depressing because of how bleak the future is.
Entropy is depressing. Thats basically what the ending concludes.
AWESOME!!!
First vsause uploaded.
Then veritasium
Then Sharkee :D
yeah totally amazing
+Julian Döhl That's what I was thinking
Amazing it is
damn today is a good day
It's geek christmas :)
Holy shit! Vsauce, Veritasium, Stated Clearly and now Sharkee, all woke up from hibernation at the same time released their quality videos for nerds like me to enjoy all at once. I'm a happy man now 😂
Or use the publish schedule and happened to have scheduled to publish around the same time.
Or maybe because it's summer now and people have time to do stuff :p
Major plot twist. This is happening as we speak. We are already in a digital simulation.
one cannot prove this isn't the case already
+fep_ ptcp unless you try and prove there is a resolution to the quantum world. Where you can see that there are pixels(which would seem to be smaller than quarks) that are rendered in space.
+Mr Rishi The Cookie Scientists have already discovered digital code in DNA code which is very scary.
Angel S i think that would just be coincidence but id like to think that's true.
+Mr Rishi The Cookie Not just 0s and 1s but literal code that is written in a format to capture exception errors. Scary shit.
Please make a colab with VSauce... I want to see your channel grow faster and bigger
Really great video Sharkee. Like this new format.
As someone else already mentioned, I think this is the one of the better ways for humans to go.
But it sure gets you thinking. If you would be one of those children created by the A.I with no real body, wouldn't you feel trapped?
Also, if you can be anything you want, wouldn't you miss the feeling of accomplishment? But on the other hand, as you're only a peace of code I guess that part could easily be rewritten.
Shit just goes weird after a certain point... and that's why we love science :D
Good point. But I have to ask you a question:
Do you feel trapped?
if we were living in a simulation it wouldent have so much death and injustice in it unless it was created by non humans
a fucking awesome and underrated channel
Great video :)
You haven't even finished the video yet
he doesn't need to.
All the science channels are posting!
Except for PBS Space TIme.
They post every Wednesday
I know, but it would've been better if they also posted yesterday along with Vsause, Sharkee, Veritasium, and the other ones.
agreed, they are awesome!
... the last post-human in the universe starts losing consciousness, and fades away. And finally, Half Life 3 was released.
Kinda a tragic ending don't you think?
Nothing lasts forever. Several trillion years ain't bad :P
There is a probability that we can portal through black hole to universes in which have energy.
+RavenousRoss lol more like centillions of years
A few trillion years is plenty of time to find a way to jump to a new universe, fell based on our current trend of technological advancement after several trillion years we might figure out how to save the universe itself.
Where do you people get your information from? The universe is expected to only live between 5b -20b years from where you get your info from
Totally honest now, this is the best video I've seen this year so far. Screw Vsauce, all aboard the Sharkee train!
I would say technology would advance alot faster than that and AI would have greater impact.
Can infinity exist within a second? Can a simulation be programmed that would allow its inhabitants to experience 50 billion years for every second of "real" time?
That's enough to drive someone insane, after the first second you would just wish it was all over!
+Jman21UK that's why we have death. I had that terrifying revelation a couple years ago. Death is scary but living forever would be even scarier!
Yh it sounds good but it would be hell
Great video, thanks for your effort :)
Hey bro that thumbnail is the exact same picture of the album cover by Nine Lashes called Galaxy. Is that where you got it?
I got it from here. It's marked as public domain photo.
pixabay.com/en/milky-way-universe-person-stars-1023340/
They might have used it from the same site.
+Sharkee cool thanks!
Nine Lashes exposed for using a public domain photo on a professional album.
+ThaVrisco lol
I confused. What would be the point of expanding to other planets and galaxies if they were living in this virtual reality in the first place? Plus how would the get there?!
More places you can get energy
Eventually you would exhaust the energy on a planet or in a system, or the Sun would die, and then you would have to move. It makes more sense to be better prepared and move people in a timely way that we could then decide and agree upon. Thus we would ever be moving outward and never ending, conquering many systems and the galaxy after many millions of years. This would result in a fractured and evolutionary different species, but across all time and cultures, humans tend to display the same directive everywhere. Never stop.
Wow, I wish that A.I. World came within my life :D
Exurb1a had a similar outlook on the future, one in which humanity replaced flesh with electronics and settled more with simulated experiences than physically living in reality. In this of course, not only do humans and A.I. merge (much like in that one 1995 Ghost in the Shell film), but humanity entirely merges into a singular entity that expands outwards into space to convert all mass to energy, and eventually meet other post-biological civilizations.
Much like in the Last Question, it seems everything will eventually fade to black as the seemingly eternal dream comes to a close.
I wonder though, if there are other energy sources beyond what we know, energies not just including nuclear fusion, black holes, and matter conversion, but perhaps energies that'd only exist in dimensions beyond our own, perhaps accessing timelines, universes, and the things between universes.
that is pretty scary. I think i'd rather go explore the galaxy with my human body then with a machine body. although i'd not be opposed to enhancements for my body. as long as they doing touch my brain. but we might already be moving to a scociety living in a virtual world (cell phones vr glasses)
Human bodies are frail.
If we evolved beyond our physical bodies, and reach intellectuality beyond our limitation to figure more about the world. Could it be possible to find free energy by an unknown phenomenon, that able us to reach unknown layers or reality. Ultimately reaching a dimension with infinite time, mass and energy to sustain and assure our propagation. Then even more unknown knowledge and heights beyond that of a assured heat death, we could have presence in the realm of gods, letting us create new universes and abstract world's in all infinity!
It's pointless to live infinitely always getting up new data; technically you'll store infinite data and will be infinitely bored at some point, and entire universes could happen inside that infinite data. It's like not existing at all.
You need to restart to give it sense.
I hope our actual universe works like that, since we know shit about conciousness maybe it's just recycled.
This reminds me of The Last Question, a very cool very popular short story by Isaac Asimov. It's on UA-cam somewhere if anyone's interested.
[Insufficient data for a meaningful answer intensifes]
Excellent video, Sharkee. Isaac Asimov wrote a short story in 1956 (The Last Question) that followed your scenario fairly closely. However, as the universe is dying the virtual human/computer/entity, who by now occupies the entire universe, declares "LET THERE BE LIGHT!" & the Big Bang occurs, creating an entire new universe. Thus, Asimov elevates human consciousness to godlike status.
I love your videos & hope you get many, many more subscribers.
just woah. This would preferably be a good way for humans to go. Though we could prevent the global warming stuff a little better. But this story seems quite likely. Thanks for sharing.
Still trying to figure out which videos i prefer. The sci-fi or the science/maths ones.
Sci-fi is a roller coaster of emotions, I get hyped, then happy, then deppressed as i realise it isnt real(yet maybe).
Science and maths ones are awesome for about halfway, then you lose me, then i rewatch, eventually after about an hour of internet searches i understand it.
But both always brings up some philosophical issues that i continue to ponder for weeks to come, and this video was no exception. So thanks sharkee and keep it up.
This was beautiful, and also made me think of our time. It's mind boggling to think about how far we have come, and how far we will go. I just wish I could live through all of what comes, because it will be an epic journey for humanity.
This was a great video. But here's my question: If humanity could become so advanced, who's to say that they couldn't invent another universe or re-energize the existing universe?
Beautiful. I am not nearly as smart as this videos host, but I believe humanities singularity event will occur much, much sooner than the 1000ish yrs estimated in this sci-fi vid. Also, I find comfort in my lil brain that as our universe's stars dim and fade, an alternate universe is being born in another dimension.
I thought ITER is supposed to become successful on 2050 not 22XX!
That number has been increasing alot.
I think your'e underestimating how fast all this could happen though, year 3000? more like year 2100.
This is depressing but may be true
I would say that the early timeframe is a bit too unrealistic.
With the capabilities we arleadly are , and are exponentially improving , such as machine learning ,nuclear fusion and strong AI are not so far in the future.
Imagine being this last human while dying, reflecting on everything his race has accomplished over the Trillions of years it has existed. The thought that members of the same species who hunted animals and each other with sticks and stones will one day rule this universe is mind blowing.
Why would the post humans explore real space and colonize if they can have it all on servers. Sounds like they should avoid all other species in the universe at all cost as to avoid conflict. I like the thought
it´s really sad, to see that this amazing youtube chanel has ONLY 74k subs... I really don´t get it.
i almost feel happy that I will pass away bfr this happens.I would rather have a quick and painless death,then to wait quadrillions of years to just fade away
the shopping center you see at 1:24 is located in my city: Essen, Germany... i'm confused now XD
I like thought experiment or hypothetical future videos like this
please consider making more
This reminded me of Isaac Asimov's "The Last Question". As always a great video!
How does scientific research work in these virtual worlds? I mean, these worlds are simulated based on the knowledge humen had at this time, so the simulation is limited to this knowledge. Research must be done outside this virtual reality. But if every single human was part of this virtual reality, does scientific progress come to an end? I hope scientific progress will never come to an end, the universe is too beautiful to not be explored.
Yeah they will become the future version of unemployed couch potato's.
Well you could argue that some of those servers could be used as supercomputers and "people" could still be inter5eseted in research, since curiosity is probably a basic human trait. So maybe we will create sensors from inside the simulations and share new discoveries through the network. I think, if anything, such a shared consciessness would greatly expand scientific knowledge.
This is my favorite video from you, keep up the excellent work!
That was an incredible video! I hope to see more stuff like this from you :D
it's like "The Last Question" written by Asimov
Did you just describe the birth of Matrix?
What if we could then travel to a young parallel universe.
a lot longer and kinder than exurb1a's prediction
Cool video mate, keep up the nice work :)
I love the story telling like this! Please do this in every video!
2746... what's with the specificity?
hmm
I see we define "possible future" quite differently.
heres my problem with transferring consciousness to a computer, wouldnt it just be a copy of your current consciousness, sort of like a new instance of your consciousness, to that new instance now on the server it will feel like its you and will remember everything, the the original you would be gone. Imagine it this way, say they create a body clone of you, and it just needs your consciousness, when they copy it to the new clone body, both you and the clone will feel like they are YOU, but you are the original, so if you die, you die like normal, but to everyone else their will be nothing strange about the clone as it is the exact same as you, just a new instance
Not necessarily. It depends on how you define "copy".
If you replace the wheels of a car, and later replace the engine, then the chassis, the seats, the bodywork, and the interior, is it still the same car? Is it a copy?
It might be possible to do a similar process with the brain, gradually replacing neurons with electronic components.
Finally somone that thinks like I do, one of the answers as to why we have not seen any signs of extraterrastrial life could be that all civilizations capable of travelling between star systems eventually create a perfect virtual reality and simply loses interest in the "real" world.
This video made me extremely sad. I am sad that I won't live as long as other people in my future, that I'll never see things they will.
trillions of years in the future, we circumvent the second law of thermodynamics... profit
Yes ,"profit" When that time comes, if it ever does. That word will have its first truthful usage in trilions of years.
Dance PPAP in this Background!
Good job sharkee ! I love watching your vids !❤️
Thats just the matrix bro...
Tribute to isaak asimov!
This video reminded me of Asimov's "The last question".
Yeah me too, very similar to the "The Last Question"
couldnt they technically push the time dilation in the simulated world to the point where one real second is almost infinite in the virtual world?
Depends on how it works I guess. If it is like a "normal" processor, there is a physical limit at how fast they could compute "time", so I guess there would be a limit.
akrybion doesnt time technically freeze at or above the speed of light. so the servers would need to process information at the speed of light which technically isnt impossible right?
Reggie_thoughts I think it is, since there a technical limits for Transistors and everything else in PCs. I mean, for basics you need an alternating current and I guess the speed of alternation is somewhat limited, also if we build smaller processors, we have to think about Quantum mechanics which can be very weird at times.
But I'm not an expert neither on Quantum physics nor computer processing, so don't take my word for granted. I just think there will always be limits.
On a side not, I think there also will always be "purists" that don't want to be poart of the simulation. I mean- the idea is fascinating, but I somehow enjoy a sometimes shitty reality, than a perfect lie. But well... If given the chance I might just go into the Matrix. It's actually a hard question, I understand both sides on that.
+akrybion By that point, transistors won't even exist. Quantum computers will also be the norm, which would speed up processes many hundred times compared to conventional "2-state" processors we have today.
Freqxii True that, but there are still limits. How would you determine how many "people" there could be? What about crime in those worlds? And animals? Would you simulate their conciessness too?
This is such interesting topic tbh.
It makes me smile that 7 years ago we were wondering about fusion energy and AI in the centuries to come.
And now, in the middle of 2024, we already had the first 1:1 fusion reaction and we are actively living with AIs.
Only 7 years. Not centuries. That's brilliant.
Maybe I'm stretching what we accomplished and yet, here we are.
well I imagine that after such a long period of Life consciousness you wouldn't even be scared or fear being shut down in such a manner are you lived a really long time in it much longer than anyone human could ever have even imagined you've lived until the end of time literally .love it, awesome, thanks
So basically, we become our own Gods? Sounds nice.... If we don't get wiped out from a huge asteroid or something.
What if the universe is truly infinite? I'd wager I would take a hefty amount of time to go through all the energy in the entire universe..
Unbelievable.
I'm so happy I found your videos as early as I did, and I can't wait till you hit 100k subs. You deserve so much more, and I can't wait to be there to congratulate you when you get there.
I very much enjoyed this.
Thank you.
Nihilistic much? I know this is just a story , but what the hey...
1. After the Paris accords which two countries which are expected to add most dirty energy sources India and China ratified, I would see more countries move towards the german approach towards renewable energy, even the economics of renewable energy is working out.
2. I personally believe that ITER would release a working fusion reactor within the next 40-60 years
3. Advent of self aware AI algorithms are 20-35 years away according to the guys who are tracking the progress google deepmind is making.
Please note that it is not my intention to point errors in your story, its just a story. Just comparing it to what I believe is happening is all.
On one hand I would love this to happen, since this shared network seems like a pure Utopia for everyone, but then again it's kind of sad, thjat we cann 100% predict, that everytrhing we build, everything we have, is finite. Maybe we will discover a way to "recycle" stars, but I guess it's unlikely and against a couple of physical laws, so... Shows how important it is to use the time we have and makes one realize just how insignificant we are and we will always be. No matter, how much we progress, we will end one day and there will not even be someone to remember us. Everything we build will crumble and we will be forgotten, just a blink.
Loved that video.
That was awesome to think about! Immortality has always been a dream of humanity, but I think it's silly to fear death. Even if we can "download our consciousness", it's selfish to live on aimlessly because there is no such thing as eternity for us. We need to move on and make room for the next batch of young minds. Ambition, love, heartbreak, anger, fear... this is what makes us humans and this is what fuels innovation and keeps us "human". Only the future can tell, but I'm happy I have only 60-80 years left because I'm going to make the best of it.
Loved the video, but surely the specific years mentioned are just random numbers, right? right????
This reminds me of "The Last Question" by Isaac Azimov. My absolute favorite bit of fiction ever written, along with "The Last Answer".
I also think that the future will probably look a lot like this. Probably slightly changed time scales and minor details, but I think a lot of it will look just like this. Even the "no longer interested in the outside Universe" portion, as I think in deep time, if we realize there is nothing like hyperspace or extra dimensions or what have you to explore, then we will just lose interest in explore something else. We know we can only get so far in the Universe, before we simply can't reach anything else because we can't go fast enough, our descendants would probably just explore logic or what have you until local heat death makes the whole thing moot.
Great video. Glad I subbed a little while ago so I could watch this.
Your videos are enjoyable but the time progression seems really accelerated in relation to technological advancement in your stories, 700 years of research until nuclear fusion seems like an extremely elongated time span, the rate of human advancement in all fields is following a path of exponential growth. That said, this is the only major flaw in your video, and I found it very well made, and equally enjoyable (repeating myself right here aren't I? :D), keep up the good work.
"The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov. 1956, really short story
Your stuff is awesome, but not this time, maybe just because i followed this train of thoughts in science fiction books few times too many. But even most of Sheckley books perceived as banal in this age. I bet you can just explore some of concepts more deeply, connecting human brain to computer is more real than ever, we will see streams of data broadcasting to our brains in a lifetime, maybe sooner, we already have fast reading techniques like Spritz and a lot of people listen to podcasts with double speed. But books of my childhood explored ideas of singularity much more deeply, Stanislaw Lem, Robert Heinlein, Azimov did it better 50 years ago, and current SciFi books taking steps beyond that. I am sorry you not one of them, i binged all your videos few days ago when i just discovered your content. But this is really simple and banal for you.
Honestly, Sharkee, that was creepy af. The willing and unnecessary removal of natural limbs, and especially organs. I wish you hadn't made me consider that.
Not impossible, and the vid certainly kept my attention. It's just so depressingly possible...it certainly sounds like a direction our society could go in as far as our addiction to instant and constant gratification.
I do like this format, though, it was interesting.
So for some reason captions are auto playing every time I play this video... I can turn them off but it's back every time. I can understand him just fine XD I actually find his accent quite soothing. Anyway does anyone know why this is happening?
Sharkee you are not frequent at uploading videos, but when you do, you make sure it is worth the wait. I cannot believe what I just watched. It was so incredible that I am still in that possible world you have imagined. And kudos at selecting the best background soundtrack too. Your videos are absolutely incredible and somehow makes me proud of my history as a human being, and curious to know we as humans make of our future. Thank you Sharkee. I wish your channel gains more popularity soon so you can devote more time to creating more of such amazing videos. Looking forward to your next piece of work!
Shouldn't an AI intelligence explosion occur much sooner than the timescale presented in this video? If we were to hook an ASI up to the proper experimental equipment, I daresay it could figure out exactly how the universe works. We will have perfect knowledge of physics, then biology, and so on. The AI would also design usable products using this knowledge. All we need to do is create a computer with the ability to improve its own hardware and software. We would need a revolution in nanotechnology and artificial intelligence, both of which have already started.
I just thought about if we where living in a matrix what if the humans that created the matrix would also live in one. Like a bubble in a bubble. It could be a fermi paradox kinda thing. Like why hasn't (probably) intelligent life colonized all universe yet? Because it always ends up creating its own and therefore staying in its home galaxy. Also nuclear fusion isn't the last thing to be used for energy. You could for example try to work with smaller particles that protons. That would bring a exponential amount of more energy. Because smaller parts have a higher binding energy to mass relation. Imagine we could at one point just stop the time or break out of the universe after a certain level of energy production.
this would be a good timeline for what would happen if technology WASN'T exponential. thankfully it is, so we could possibly miss all the shitty climate stuff if tech advances fast enough (it seems like it just might) I would love to see a video about what could happen when taking in to account actual tech trends and advancement!
Don't you think 2116 is too far away for basic fusion reactor to be completed? Currently we are ongoing Artificial Intelligence Renaissance so I think somehow in the next 10 years we will be able to solve fusion energy with their help.
Worth listening to numerously when I paint. Very reassuringly serene. Today's problems are just phase to a much better result. EDIT: the mech-future however can be arguable of course. Since people might live another planet or star system without this trend reaching their mindset or point of view.
Very good video. I saw a comment saying it's depressing, I would rather say it's enlightening. Thank you.
I can see this happening in one form or another. I defiantly liked the "if we can't travel faster" idea more though. Seeing biological evolution take place over the vastness of space is so much more interesting then assimilating ourselves into the machine. Larry Niven in his Ring-world series wrote about a species that would "meld" there minds together to create a large single consciousness. Stephen Baxter also wrote about a super computer AI made up of six different human consciousness's called Earthshine in the Proxima series. I guess my point is I don't think we would maintain our identity if we do transcend. A video on the details of the idea location for home would be interesting to watch.
i like this probability.. but u jump too much in time.. 3200+ and u are conscious in ur VR.. after the conolization, the humanity consciousness dies out cuz no energy (trillion years passed).. dont u think that in trillion years humanity has developed so much that it is not in need of outer energy?
This doesn't seem to be a likely outcome to me. Last I read we will reach singularity by 2040. And I don't think VR has as much potential as AR. I am not convinced that we are so far off from fusion power either. Also we cannot predict the future climate even 1 week ahead beyond broad strokes. We don't know what it will be like in 100 years.
Sharkee could have as many subscribers as Vsauce if people knew about him. If he collaborated with either Vsauce or Veritasium, his channel would explode.
What if the AI turned malevolent and made the Virtual Reality world Hell?
The saddest thing that we will die before all of that. And i don't know how people can speak so easily about future knowing that it is not for them. I feel sadness, anger, dat feel-pepe about all these predictions. And don't call me egoistic. I also feel sorry for all people which died just before us. So stupid. So unfair.
I think he got the exponential growth of technology a little bit wrong. We went from airplane to moonlanding in about 65 years, but according to this video it then took us hundreds of years to get from the laptops we have now, to A.I.
Plus, also according to this video, in that time before the "Holm" we never colonized other planets. Apparently we did it afterwards. Which is interesting, but probably not how it would play out.
I think this is a too "linear" prediction, I think (and hope!) that convenient controlled fusion reaction will happen much earlier. You are not even considering AI life spreading and evolving much faster than humans at some point in the future, and going to unpredictable ways that are probably not understandable for us right now. Furthermore, I think that global warming won't be an issue for long time, we will probably figure it out how to stop it and maybe reverse it.
I agree about post-humans uploaded in a virtual world but this leads us to the fundamental question: are we already living in a simulated universe? I believe that whatever will expect us in the future will be much more crazy and mind blowing that we can ever imagine with our still limited minds.
Simply Beautiful. To have a conscious death the same time the universe dies. Breath taking. Great video! Thank you.
