Your Predictions for Planet Earth? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

RonRyan85 · 03-28-2005, 04:05 PM

For thousands of years the blue planet had revolved around itself
and in an elliptical orbit around a medium sized yellow star, but now
things were beginning to change and very soon the planet would
be out of control and spinning off into the black emptness of endless
space.....

Seems like a lot of men and a few women can look into the future
and predict what is going to happen to the planet Earth and to the
people who live on it. I personally do not believe any one has the
power to see into the future and there are more people ready to sell
you worthless books,videos and pills that will not do anything for you
than people who want to truly help you. (There was one man who
wanted to help us,but they nailed him to a tree.)

What do you think? Will we have more wars? Trouble with China,
Iran? North Korea? More earthquakes and hurricanes? Will gasoline
prices go to $6 a gallon? Will aliens actually land on the White House
lawn and be shown on all the 6:Oclock TV news? Will there actually
be some invention made and revealed to the public that makes more
power than is put into it? Will we find other power sources besides
crude oil? Will we all convert to diesel engined cars that burn soybean
oil? Will we all be driving cars powered by energy cells? Will we travel
back to the Moon and then to Mars? What about atomic energy? Will
we discover how to produce limitless power or will we blow ourselves
up? Will we slowly change into a "Mad Max" world where we all are
fighting for the last bits of 21st century technology or will we reach
a higher level of civilization where we all live in peace? What do you
think?

A Vogon Constructor Fleet will come and demolish the earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass. This may in fact have already happened.

Or maybe we'll just experience what we've always experienced: same shit, different day.

I'm not sure which.

P-Naughty · 03-28-2005, 05:48 PM

I think society will end up doing itself in by it's own means. Wars, super weapons, urban sprawl, deforestation, spreading desert and shrinking everything else, etc. That or we will end up being controlled by the machines.

"You think that's air your breathing?"

Ace_O_Spades · 03-28-2005, 05:52 PM

Are we talking what's in store for planet earth in terms of lives of humans? or lives of planets?

If you're talking lives of planets the earth hasn't probably even noticed we're here yet, and won't miss us when we're gone.

MageB420666 · 03-28-2005, 06:19 PM

My vote is on three possibilities for the end of mankind and a fourth possibility for our continued existense(for a while anyways):

1) A massive economic crash, or huge war, destroys most of modern society, pretty much everyone outside of a few third world countries dies(from starvation or radiation), and then those people wither away and die after a few generations.

2) We all get wiped out in a flash as a large meteor slams into the earth and vaporized 99/100 of the worlds human poplulation and the rest starve in the following ice age.

3)An alien race of an unfriendly nature spots our planet, thinks that it looks pretty, and wipes us off of its face so that their overlord can vacation on it once every 200 of our years.

4)An alien race of friendly disposition spots us, shares the ability to travel to the stars and the human race is able to expand continuously until one of the first three options happens to wipe us out on a stellar scale.

Willravel · 03-28-2005, 06:30 PM

I'd like to think that after the next big war, we will learn. I'm not holding my breath though. We'd be best off trying to limit procreation now, while it's still under our control. If the Earth was only supporting maybe 40-50 million humans, I'd feel a lot safer.

Rdr4evr · 03-28-2005, 07:04 PM

I think humanity will come to end under our own stupidity, and at this point, it might be the best solution as are progression furthers in technology, our own creation will eventually obliterate us. The only way that our hate filled racist existence would come together is if we are about to go to war with an alien race. Only then would we realize that we have to come together as humanity and destroy the alien threat, and by then maybe we would come to the understanding that all of the killing we’ve committed against one another was infact wrong, and unfortunately, even then I wouldn't have to much confidence in the human race.

We've been on Earth for a blink of an eye, and our destruction would be a return to normality. From my understanding, we are at a 6 billion population currently, and we can live comfortably up until 10 billion, after that, the shit hits the fan, so it's of utmost important to incorporate a population control method...such as China, all over the world, before we grow into something we can't handle.

I truly believe there is something much greater out there then we are aware of, and I don’t necessarily mean God, although it is one of the possibilities, but aliens and such as well. For all we know, our entire existence may have been created by an alien race far more advanced than even imaginable for whatever reason they felt necessary. There are tons of theories out there, and even though some may sound ridiculous, I wouldn’t rule out anything as nobody has a damn clue.

A massive pandemic will fly across the world in a matter of weeks, destroying half of humanity.

There will be no rhyme nor reason for who lives or dies. The virus will indiscriminately kill old, young, rich, poor, man or woman. People will become wary of interpersonal communication, and rules of social interaction will change so drastically that people will never be the same.

No more shaking hands, hugging and kissing loved ones. Doorknobs are a thing of the past, and we will finally see those cool futuristic doors that open automatically. People will communicate like this, through a sterile intermediary (keyboard or cell phone or radio link) to maintain personal protective space.

International commerce, travel and governance will be enforced with lethal consequences. People will blame others, joining political and philosophical factions that are opposed to each other. Civil wars will not break out, but the social fabric will change. Clans, private schools and gated communities become the norm.

Finally, people will think that their new way of life is an "improvement" and wonder how on earth we ever lived the way we do now.

Repeat as necessary, ad infinitum

muttonglutton · 03-29-2005, 06:47 PM

Based on this thread, I would like to believe that in fact yes, the government will lagislatively do away with everyone that isn't me, a friend of mine, or a large breasted woman.

In reality, society will most likely club itself into nothingness with violence, politics, greed, envy, gluttony, and whatever of the other seven deadly sins are appropriate to the situtation.

Or, my destructive stellar entity of choice, the Vogon spaceship. Because that can only lead to humour.

pig · 03-29-2005, 07:14 PM

Depending on the time scale, I would put my money on the following:

1. Increased globalization as a result of increased communication and travel potential.

2. A shift in global economics based on new energy carriers.

3. More wars.

4. If population isn't controlled internally (and who are we kidding, people like to have sex a lot), then either war or disease will eventually knock us back a few billion, and/or

5. We will start colonizing the near space regions.

6. I think alien contact is difficult to speculate on. The universe is mighty big, but if we hang in there in one form or another, and the universe doesn't implode...well, it seem like even a small probability eventually will pay out.

7. The position of the United States as the dominant world power ends.

8. As a result of the technological revolution, females either take over dominant roles in first world societies, or else a more gender equitable solution is reached.

9. Hermaphroditic humans evolve with fully developed internal genetalia, or else we start primarily procreating externally, which some might argue could lead to a intellectual evolution of humans. Maybe we lose some toes and hair and such.

10. New religions evolve.

I think scientists, experimenting with supercolliders, will attempt to create a stable black hole for research purposes and will succeed. The resulting minature black hole will immediately drop directly down to the center of the earth, and pop out the other side, claiming it's first casualty by sucking them into oblivion. As the black hole grows in mass it will slow down and settle at the core of our planet, eventually consuming it and everyone on it completely.

That's one of the coolest possibilities so far... imagine a tiny black hole orbiting around this sun as a monument as to what humanity could achieve.

It will be found that on the last day of the planet, all the environmentalists who tried to save the planet from it's natural evolution, will in fact have caused irreparable damage by ironically trying to save it.

0energy0 · 03-30-2005, 11:13 AM

Everything will evolve. That's a fact.

Imagine humans living in the water.
Humans can develop wings.

Everything will run on soil, yes i said soil. Imagine vehicles performing nitrogen fixation and using ammonium as its fuel.

World Hunger will be solved, but poverty will not be solved. For every rich man, is a poor man.

Average single-family houses will range from 10 million to 20 million dollars in the year 300. Milk will cost 50 dollars a gallon. The US will bring back the $2; however, it would be useless. Coupons will still remain on earth.

Huge chains of fast food restaurants will be on every single street, including residential streets. No more happy meals, but happy pills. (Just add water, and voila! The meals appears after water was added.)

Jack Ruby · 03-30-2005, 01:54 PM

Either we evolve ideas and start working together on a global scale, or we all die within a few centuries at most.

Are you so sure of that? Evolution of wings in humans would be at the cost of our arms (or legs) and there would be a lot of other evolutionary traits if we wanted them for more than decoration. To evolve a set of wings while retaining our current appendages would require us to evolve a whole additional set of limbs- something that evolution hasn't even begun to do in ANY chordate species.

Of course I think it would be grand to fly, and i'm almost hoping scientists might find an artificial crane to pull us through the hundreds of millions of years of evolution it would normally require.

Vertical farming will be big. 60 story hydroponic tanks with solar mirrors for sides and recyled water systems based on our interplanetary exploration craft. Eventually the LeGrange points will be populated by captured comets and asteroids and such, fueled from the Moon, and full of bioengineered plants/trees and such. Incidentally it will be inside these giant free-fall constructs that the flying humans will come into their own

We will have manna from heaven as drone craft full of fresh produce land 24-7 wherever it seems appropriate. The downside will be the pollution. We have traces of plastic microfibres in our DNA right now - that is very scary shit. Also we will eventually be buggy with nanobots pumped out by government agencies, big business, the religious freaks and the entertainment industry. Neural firing inside the head triggered by nanobots working according to an outside script will lead to some pretty wild new paradigms.

Enough for now - must go drink coffee - and I desire a smoke ...

Imagine vehicles performing nitrogen fixation and using ammonium as its fuel. World Hunger will be solved, but poverty will not be solved. For every rich man, is a poor man. Average single-family houses will range from 10 million to 20 million dollars in the year 300. Milk will cost 50 dollars a gallon. The US will bring back the $2; however, it would be useless. Coupons will still remain on earth. Huge chains of fast food restaurants will be on every single street, including residential streets. No more happy meals, but happy pills. (Just add water, and voila! The meals appears after water was added.) __________________ Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Psycho Dad Mulletproof Location: Some nucking fut house.	I predict that for the next few million years, people will be trying to predict how the world is going to end. I also predict that it is only a matter of time until people start quoting scripture in this thread. __________________ Don't always trust the opinions of experts.

guthmund big damn hero	Giant Space Ants will attack and I for one will welcome our new insect overlords. On second thought.... We will all live in a giant Wal*Mart, the vast majority of humans will be re-classified as "Associates," and we will all worship the Walton. __________________ No signature. None. Seriously.

kramus loving the curves Location: my Lady's manor	Vertical farming will be big. 60 story hydroponic tanks with solar mirrors for sides and recyled water systems based on our interplanetary exploration craft. Eventually the LeGrange points will be populated by captured comets and asteroids and such, fueled from the Moon, and full of bioengineered plants/trees and such. Incidentally it will be inside these giant free-fall constructs that the flying humans will come into their own We will have manna from heaven as drone craft full of fresh produce land 24-7 wherever it seems appropriate. The downside will be the pollution. We have traces of plastic microfibres in our DNA right now - that is very scary shit. Also we will eventually be buggy with nanobots pumped out by government agencies, big business, the religious freaks and the entertainment industry. Neural firing inside the head triggered by nanobots working according to an outside script will lead to some pretty wild new paradigms. Enough for now - must go drink coffee - and I desire a smoke ... __________________ And now to disengage the clutch of the forebrain ...
