From anyone else, I would write off a 'far future iceberg' as pointless clickbait, but the trust I have in the quality of your videos far outweighs that immediate assumption, and I thoroughly enjoyed this exploration of our current predictions for the future.
Really glad you liked it!
Ok?
Agreed

Never assume...know
Went from "oh that's neat" to "ahhhhhh" by the end.
Nothing like some deep time to evoke existential dread.
More like "AHHHHHHH!!!"
We'll all be dead by the time any of this will matter, so it's not worth worrying about much
@@snowthearcticfox1👍💯
Thanks for condensing my childhood existential crises into a singular 30-ish minute video

"Existential crisis" is a political term. More accurate: "we be fucked."
one thing I think is notable about Dune as a "future prediction" that you didn't touch on is the idea that humanity has totally destroyed/outlawed all "thinking machines." this becomes more of a relevant plot point every day as progressions are made with AI, and the idea of it developing to the point where robots and humans eventually go to war with each other, and one or the other is totally eradicated.
AI does not think. It is not the same as scifi AI
@@ZeallustImmortal not yet, anyway
@@janderssenviz It will never be capable of thought, it is quite literally impossible. I'm a machine learning engineer btw, I understand this pretty well, and I'd recommend you read into it more. It will put some of your fears to rest.
@@ZeallustImmortal this is something I don't think I've heard before, def going to do some more research. anything you specifically recommend reading on the topic?
@@janderssenviz Yeah gimme a few mins ill give you some good places go look
The universe has fallen, quintillion stars must die.
Underrated
Every time I think about the far future, I become deeply unsettled and sometimes erratic. Watching this should be a good idea.
I have two fucking bachelors degrees and yet am so entirely dumb that I somehow don’t get anxiety when thinking about the future
Turbo dumbassity
@Senju-d7u oh me too, man. Really dig that Jesus. Gimme that old time religion, champ. Woohaa.
I think of this all the time and it is major part of my philosophy. I think of it as nothing really matters, we will all be observable universes alone and nothing more. And that gives me so much power paradoxically. I can do anything I want. Literally. I can study what I want, I can ignore all rules, I can do war crimes, whatever. I am absolutely free
@mistrsportak9940 I find some truth in that. Because nothing is truly meaningful, it doesn't actually matter what I do. Which means I can do anything. The unsettled feeling for me comes from the understanding that as a human in this era, I've, just by the nature of my nurture, placed these values on myself and other things that are so hard to reconcile with the evidence that it's all made up by us.
you are mentally ill get help
Your video essays are brilliant, and your presentation spot on. I enjoyed this video, but much prefer when you dive into one topic in depth!
Appreciate the kind words :)
"The last man on earth is sitting in his little house, thinking about how alone he is, suddenly, there's a knock on the door..."

ayo the pizza's here
I was expecting 'All Tomorrows' and 'After Man' somewhere in the middle, but I guess they could be an Iceberg all by themselves
Let’s be real my friend , there will be no humanity in the far future , and the way things are going I don’t even believe we are going to make until the end of this century . I m 43 and will be long dead , but I have small daughter and am worried about the future , just hope if SHTF , it to be quickly to everyone .
Mars will never be habitable without human intervention. Temperatures might become more hospitable in the future but Mars’ core went cold 2 billion years ago. It has no vulcanism, no magnetosphere. What little carbon dioxide atmosphere it still has will be blown off by solar radiation. The surface will be balmy but completely dry and irradiated.
@@thematrixwillfindyouI genuinely believe Christ is our only hope.
@@thematrixwillfindyou That's straight up copium. Lmao.
@@thematrixwillfindyouFuck off, not believing in your own species is crazy 💀 humanity is gonna survive whether you like it or not. We have survived far worse in the past. We will survive in the future.
It's amazing how at 0:00 I can IMMEDIATELY recognize even just the pure ambiance of the Enterprise-D, even before the picture faded in.
Same!
Same! Immediate good feelings ❤❤❤
Yes!!!!!! I love it
I know very little about Star Trek. I got the complete TNG box set for Christmas, and I haven't started it yet. Is it something I should watch all of sequentially, or should I skip around to the best episodes?
You and MelodySheep have both covered this in a way that goves me an existential crisis.
Couldn’t agree more!
Melody Sheep is one of the best channels on YT and I just found another one!
Great presentation!
👍👍👍
MelodySheep is awesome. That video of the next trillion years is absolutely terrifying though 😂
I’m not usually a ‘fan’ of the iceberg videos but I’m very glad this was in my recommended list today.
This is a brilliant video and I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to catching up on your previous work and also seeing what you you’ll share with everyone next.
Thank you for sharing this excellent video with everyone, I hope more people get to see it. Best wishes to you and your family from England

That's literally just the start of a sci-fi show plot.
The generally ominous and non-specific nature of that message is what gets humans in the future to dig there to begin with.
They are gonna think a nuclear mound is like, future anti-matter fusion energy or something, and its actually just a bunch of hot water boiling metal full of cancer.
then they learn the hard way ☠️ eventually the message will get across lol
I feel like I'm destined to work in some Space-related field at some point, because this stuff doesn't give me any Existential Dread. It fills me with amazement and the will to learn more.
TheFunniScienceMan
Likewise
As long as you value DEI above all else you are free to make that choice. Good luck! Remember to check your privilege
you will become a janitor with an addiction to glue
It kind of fills me with a certain FOMO, as I want to experience the entire story of mankind and the universe
Bro called the Shrike, the most feared and original sci Fi antagonist ever, the "shriek" 😂
Ooh man, I wasn't there yet, but it's dope that the Shrike is in here.

Imagine if the Danger signs become what we see the ancient hieroglyphs as. just random symbols that are only understood after said danger is released
The pharaoh's curse
sand started appearing on my carpet after reading this, strange I thought I vacuumed
@@sandwichdealer1711 Curse of the forgotten tombs! ~ nuclear warning!
@@Cutie_Oni outdated racist concept made by Europeans to justify giving up on their graverobbing.
That was the whole point of the ominously vague nature of the message. It's meant to be translated and understood quickly before anything radioactive get dug up
Small Quibble, The Federation controls about 1/3 of the Alpha Quadrant. They are allied with the Klingon Empire for an extended period that arguably gives them claim to about half of the Alpha Quadrant. That is much less than most of the galaxy as the video states. It is certainly somewhat Utopian but many of the colony worlds are sparsely populated, prone to being wiped out, and it is clear that while Star Fleet has incredible access to resources colony worlds are either voluntarily or by edict somewhat voluntarily simplistic. Colony worlds also appear to have very hierarchy based governments, which is rarely utopian. Great video!
Whoops yeah you’re right, this is an oversight on my part. I remember seeing an interactive map years ago with all the different territories, and I remember being surprised at how little the federation actually controlled. But I guess if they controlled everything there wouldn’t be much of a point to the 5 year missions.
Now I’m thinking about all the people in the future trying and failing to decode the nuclear waste message in the same way we try and fail to decipher the Minoan language or the Voynich manuscript.
Nah we got internet, social media, video etc they would know
For anyone wondering how big those numbers at the end truly are, look up a video about 8x10^67, which is how many different ways you can arrange a deck of cards. It breaks down how large of a number that truly is, and it’s genuinely incomprehensible.
Now taking into account that exponents go in multiples of 10, meaning that 10^67 is 10 times larger than 10^66, you can truly realize how incapable the human brain is at processing a number that has several hundred zeros.
The fact that humans only first appeared 300,000 years ago and that the first civilization is only 4000 years old is a terrifyingly short period of time, and really puts things in perspective.
Damn thats a hidden S+ video there. Will watch this multiple times and gets on my falling asleep playlist.
Definitely deserves more views
In the year one million and half, mankind is enslaved by giraffe...
This video had me on the edge of my seat, especially as things became cosmic. You've got a really great way of presenting these topics!
You forgot to mention how the earth axis will flip in 1,000 - 10,000
once u hear the inhale between each sentence you can't unhear it

This channel deserves 150-200k in another year's time. Close to 50k in a year isn't bad, but is deserving of way more
7:12 "That sign won't stop me! Because I can't read!" - DW
Imagine, 10,000 years in the future, there's a new civilization that speaks an entirely new language that discovers this message kind of like how we discover hieroglyphs in mausoleums and tombs. After years of decoding and uncovering what the message means, they come to this.
Absolutely terrifying.
Think about how 99% of humans don’t think about this on a normal basis
Guess that makes you a special little snowflake, champ.
Why would we? I don't know how much I'll be paid his week.
@@orourkeda you’re right, it doesn’t actually affect anyone
On a regular basis? I'd feel comfortable assuming that at least 90% of people haven't encountered these concepts at all.
Why should we? I’m 31 and will only live another 50 to 60 years at best. I have way more important things to worry about right now
I really liked the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant warning message. It sounds like something you would see written on a wall inside an ancient egyptian tomb.
Thinking about the generations that come after us keeps me awake at night. I wonder what they will do or accomplish who knows maybe bring back the dead!
By bring back the dead you mean our consciousness? Our physical bodies will have deteriorated by then. If consciousness resides within chemical reactions in our brains what is there to bring back? They could replicate what once was. The state of matter that made you you would have kept being in constant change.
They will eat and fuck and pay taxes until they die 😢😮😀
This is exactly why we need to keep going & working on science and stable societies
Probably one of the most interesting video I've seen. Never once in a while I knew that there were so many other theories and stories besides "humanity become smart" or "universe go boom"
That was super interesting, well explained and illustrated. I watched the whole thing before realizing this video deserves so much more views than it has. Congratulations, keep it up
22:56
"Such water starved desert, with crazy high temperatures of 55⁰C"
Ciudad Valles, San Luis Potosí, México: Been there done that.
just trying to think in that amount of time when the universe dies makes my anxiety goes sky rocket
great video
i love how in depth you explain everything! every time i have a question about an entry, you end up explaining it :)
The end made me so emotional idk why very good content
6:19 Well, it's a good thing they put this apocalyptic vaults in the middle of nowhere of the ocean where humans can never get to it. I mean God forbid we actually needed access to it instead of apocalypse. But at least we know it's safe in the one place no human can ever ever get to during an apocalypse. Money well spent.
Have you read All Tomorrows by C.M. Koseman? I’m shocked it’s not on this iceberg. Also man after man. Maybe make a part two for this with more theories?
Hoo boi, thanks for the existential trip.
To the creator of this video: I like that you put everything into perspective at the end of your video. This topic is sooo dominated by pessimism and existential nihilism. We must stay humble and open minded, our educated of today might be wrong or atleast incomplete. We got lots of time and potential :) so thank you for not going down the pessimism bias rabbit hole, great video! Take care
32:20 Oh so we are basically the precursor species that always goes extinct before the main events in rts space games?
Totally missed a chance to explain what will be in the years 2525, 3535, 4545, 5555, 6565, 7510, 8510, 9595, and what has this all to do with a billion tears.
You can totally stand there, watch all this, and think wow. Before returning to your happy little insignificant life. Like watching in the grand canyon, you can not comprehend what millions years really mean.
Someone else who knows the song "In the year 2525..."!
I'm kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive by then.
@@JamVarthe question to me is - does man deserve to be alive at all?
Yes I can. YOU can’t but I totally can. I find it easy 🤷♂️
You son of a gun, you’ve got me reading every Gene Wolfe novel I can get my hands on.

Oxygen may not actually be the (only) cause for megafauna. Can't say I'm an expert but it's actually becoming a slightly outdated theory. Higher levels of oxygen would only meaningfully affect insects (and related species) due to the way they absorb oxygen. Same actually doesn't really apply to megafauna with lungs and a circulatory system like our own, at least not as people often understand it. Interesting topic and worth looking into if people find it to be so.
Also, I'm curious for any source on Mars becoming naturally habitable. One of Mars' current biggest issues is that its magnetic field died away over time - it can't support a strong enough atmosphere at all without it.
I hope my poking questions didn't take away from my expressing how fun a video this is. I love the universe.
Stuff like this is why i love 40k. Sure we have long bouts of time and existential dread and stuff but also they got bug monsters which are cool, and walking churches. Great vid!
The final entry should've been the theory that Internet Historian would finally publish a new video on his main channel
There's something I find really comforting about the far future, it puts into perspective all the things I worry about as someone with GAD and makes all those things seem pointless and small in the grand scheme of things.
Buddy turned around in the beginning and I thought it was Jarred from Subway frfr😂
Meanwhile, awesome work, my guy!
Dude im so happy you made this video as Im a huge fan of sci fi and theory's realteing to the far future, for some reason I enjoy reading topics relating to the universe or existental crisis type stuff, gonna add this to my comic ideas list lol
28:22 *_"IN A NOT TO DISTANT FUTURE, NEXT SUNDAY AD"_*
this was like the all tomorrows experience all over again
If humanity ever reaches type 3, the problem of star formation would no longer be an issue. Humanity could hoard brown dwarves and Jupiter sized planets, and use them for new star formation after the last red dwarves burn out. If humanity could convert the hydrogen into deuterium, deuterium stars might be able to burn on orders of magnitude longer than classic red dwarves. Even if our local group remains the only thing we can access, there would be plenty of material.
You know, I never thought about that. I like your thinking
Me, after having existential crisis from this video: next video, please!
Tropical Sahara might be sooner than we think. There's currently some plans being put in motion to help that happen. Same thing is happening in Arabia.
I really enjoyed this video I love topics that really make me think about things that truly makes my or anyone else's problems seem so small on the scale of the observable universe itself. Anyway lol, an excellent video.
That intro has me over here like
"Hey bro how's the- oh- the future huh..." "... that's well and good but how's the window cleaning going?"
the entirety of this video is so fucking cool, existential dread to the max, but still, so fucking cool
It's just terrifying to think that by the time all of these happen, we will all be dead and be forgotten, with not a single trace of our existence.

You think in 100 years someone remembers you/me/us?
@@bastiaan7777777 Unless we become Jeff Bezos or MrBeast or something

And in 100 years who remembers them? Look at 100 years ago, you can name how many people? 10? 100? Out of all millions who lived then?
Now try 200 years ago... Even so, name 5 roman emperor's...
Eventually even those are forgotten...
You being on the Enterprise D is just awesome
I'd love to imagine how these messages would be interpreted in the future, such as Waste Isolation Pilot Plant message, in which is comes across as a translated description for an Egyptian tomb
I know the universe doesn't have feelings, but that last part with optimism about how the universe could persevere made me cry a little
We could be very wrong about certain things too. So these are just more or less educated guesses. From 1900 to 1969, we achieved General Relativity, Planes, been to the moon and nuclear fission. We got all time in the world & optimism is not delusional
My mind has been expanded. Thanks.
Dang bro is actually zooming through outer space while he makes this video, impressive
Are you somehow able to choose what ads get shown or something? I got an ad for the new Planet of the Apes movie at exactly 4:14 and it caught me off guard. Lol
Lmao no that wasn’t me, but maybe they tweak it based on the transcript of the video? That would be the only thing I can think of
@@farrellmcguire Probably. I know UA-cam SAYS personalized ads can be based off of whatever video you’re currently watching but it usually doesn’t seem to work for me. Anyway, great video as always, super interesting to think about (if not a little depressing at times)!
Imagine if we one day colonize every planet in every galaxy with life, creating infinite earths and somehow stabilizing their host stars with infinite energy.

Cool video and concept, well done!
This is good! Keep it up!
Absolutely love your Video Style. Feels like a Documentary you would see on TV. I'll immediately subscribe, even though that's your only Video I've seen yet.
A bit weird that nothing about the Frozen Zoo or Colossal Biosciences was on the Iceberg, but I guess since DNA has a Limit how long it can usually exist, it wouldn't really fit the far Future Theme that much
I could’ve sworn that was OOT’s fire temple music in the background lol
What a splendid video. You earned yourself a subscriber.
If you like this kind of speculative future history, look up Man After Man by Dougal Dixon. It's out of print now so it might be hard to find, but it's fascinating and beautifully illustrated.
underrated video
oh I thought this was only about the actual far future but i guess bringing in sci-fi is also nice to put those franchises into perspective
Great video! Whats the song at the end ?
correction: cosmic expansion is only noticeable and dominant on extremely large scales. on small intergalactic scales, gravity is still dominant. this is why every other galactic cluster drifts apart while our local group remains close to us - it is because we are gravitationally bound to one another. so no, night skies won’t be pitch black before the degenerate era comes, because every star would be orbiting around the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy, which keeps everything gravitationally bound.
Well I guess now I have to read "Book of the New Sun".
8:00
Reminds me of the warnings on the egyptian tombs.
I think they should add 235 or something to universally show radiation . skull and bones would make sense I think too.
Your videos hit the recommendations!
If the expansion of the sun will make our planet will be uninhabitable one day, and will make Mars habitable one day, then that implies that
Venus…
…The thought terrifies me.
What?
@@NicolasSchaII you dense walnut
@@NicolasSchaII The implication is the question of "Was Venus our predecessor?"
Nice video homie
we got far future iceberg before gta 6💀
You forgot the "Big Crunch." The theory that dark energy will become weaker over time until the expansion of the universe stops, and then it continues to weaken until gravity becomes stronger and starts contracting the universe. Making it collapses in on itself.

This video had an increasingly colder vibe when watching it high on weed.
I’m sorry but for a second I thought Jared Fogle was making UA-cam videos all of a sudden
An idea i like to entertain is that no matter when or where you are, no matter how separated from the rest of humanity you are, even if youre on the other side of the known universe beating it to a glorback making the beast with 4 backs with a tontori, you are being watched by an observer from the future who hasnt been born yet. Technology will eventually reach a point where it can observe the past with damn near perfect accuracy
I dont understand why this stuff scares people? Like oh no my bones might get evaporated into dust in billions of years whatever will I do
This was great. You rule.
First time I see one of your videos and those Enterprise background sounds got me spinning lmao
I enjoy the perspective of your videos.
