      History would be summarized in large sections. Our current history will fit one one page and be taught the same way how we teach the existence of cavemen to young children.
      There's a sci-fi series that is really cool called the Saga of the Seven suns. One of the races, the Ildirans, have a history of over a million years. They have people who spend their career and life studying their history, but the rest of the population just gets the soap notes version.

    I've always found it interesting that sci-fi writers usually only go, at most, a few hundred years into the future. None that I know of has gone as far as Wells did for The Time Machine, which went to the year 800,000. I think people, even the most imaginative, find it impossible to imagine that far ahead in time. I've always had a special appreciation for Wells, being willing to go so far ahead and imagine a world so incredibly different than today's.

      You know, thats a great point. Dont think ive ever heard of a good sci fi go more then hundreds of yrs.
      Well...except all tommorows but i dunno how to classify that one. It goes through millenias but reads more like a fiction history book or biography rather then a sci fi story.
      I mean, we have trouble relating to things that are decades or even yrs apart nevermind thousands of years. There would be no familiarity or grounding in our reality that it would be a jarring read.
      Unless a really good writer somehow manages to integrate far future with familiarity somehow and have it be both beliable enough and interesting.

    What I like to think about is that the world or our star have already ended billions and billions of years ago and we're just repeating the process over and over again.
    Think about it, everything will end and only nothing will remain. Remember the big bang and how it created the universe from nothing? Well what if that just keeps happening like a long long long loop of events that never ever end.

    • @MacSvensson
      @MacSvensson 2 роки тому +33

      I recently saw a clip of Sir Roger Penrose. He put it that if there is nothing left in the entire universe, it's size will no longer matter (pun intended). Filled with nothing, there is no way to tell whether it's gargantuously large, or infinitessimally small. Also, because there is nothing, there will be no events taking place. So effectively, time would no longer exist.
      I found that a very interresting idea.

But, I've found that the ones that I had previously skipped because "I already know about that", or "that doesn't interest me in the slightest", turn out to be some of the best ones I've seen! So, keep up the good work Arran and I'll just be watching them all now, no more skipping.

      You realise that makes no sense right? The strength of the hurricane has nothing to do with having woods in its path nor is it a good barometer of its strength. Not all trees are the same, have the same soil and root system keeping it in the groumd. Especially forests and jungles which a hurricane will struggle to do anything to. Its why you never hear of things like cyclones, tsunamis or tornadoes doing much to forests. Its way too intertwined that only the loose or weak will get blown around, broken or uprooted.
      Btw im explaining this to the guy asking, more then to you but i guess also you, to counter your garbage mis info.
      No wonder your so simple if all you know is a semi historical book thats been rewritten and changed god knows how many times by corrupt men that its a joke compared to what the gospel was at its inception. That had truth in it and may have been holy. The bad storybook you call the bible is nothing but thinly veiled religious propaganda.

    Bear with me in my sci-fi world for a minute here. But I imagine, somehow, humans prevailing through the end of one universe and the creation of the next and being able to tell the tale to the new universe about their old universe and pass on what we have left. Imagine that. This would be an unimaginable amount of time so it'd be hard to comprehend, but that poses another problem of when your history is so vast, how do you possibly begin to select the important history unless you can simply download information to yourself now? Anyhow, if we could somehow find a way to live past this universe / find a new universe / see the creation of a new universe and then find new intelligent life to share this information with, that would be quite interesting. Eventually, I imagine such informaiton would continue to pass down through universe to universe.

    melodysheep did a great 30 minute time laps to the end of the future. they doubled the speed every 5 seconds and the number of years past goes of the scale fast. suprisingly the part we live in is incredible small compared to what's to come, even the time scale isn't making sence anymore when you talk universe because we are so small and finite...

      Doubling is very powerful. Each bit in a binary number represents double the quantity of the next. 8-bit binary numbers aren't much use on their own. You can't use an 8-bit number to give the size of an apple in millimeters. Keep doubling and things get interesting. Working out what numbers I might need for a space simulation game, I found 64 bits -- 48 doublings past 8 bits -- is enough to measure out the entire span of Pluto's orbit with room to spare at 1 micrometer resolution. 128 bits -- 64 more doublings -- is enough to span the local group of galaxies to 0.3 attometer resolution!

      Or move earth farther away from the sun.
      Or star lift mass from the sun extending it's life by reducing it's gravity and slowing fusion. And as an added bonus obtain fuel for fusion if we ever figure it out.

    With a bit of luck, and if we can overcome our own flaws (I'm optimistic we eventually will), yes. Maybe we could even master total control of reality and bend physics' laws completely, to the point we would be able to reverse entropy, avoid vacuum decay of the space, and be impossible to go extinct. We would live forever and become like gods if we reach that point. There is plenty of time to do so.

      There's a reason for this. There's a longstanding theory that in order to properly get enough energy to do things such as terraforming/etc you must first control the planet. This is impossible at this rate-the world would have to come under one continuous Government. Efforts towards this have seemingly been made with organizations attempting to guide Governments like NATO and the U.N., but as of yet, nothing even close to a worldwide Government is possible.
      If this is impossible than it is unlikely for a single nation to be able to gather resources enough to escape the planet before we run out of Oil (50 years) natural gas (~47 years) and technologies that would get around this are still pretty far in the making.

It would be nice if we start by learning how to treat Earth better. Even if we do learn that though, eventually, the end of the world will legitimately arrive.

      Have you already dug the bomb shelter that will be able to sustain a nuclear strike? Don't forget supplies for up to 100 years to survive the nuclear winter and seeds to plant the land with useful plants in 100 years when your grand children will run out of food. Watch "Blast from the past" movie as a tutorial.

    As you state in your video a lot depends on humankind's ability to colonize other solar systems. Short of that, I doubt mankind will last as long as the dinosaurs did.

    I like you're take on this! Human's do indeed have limitless potential despite our plethora of flaw, we only need reach out and grasp it.
