What Will Earth Be Like 100 Years From Now?

humans merging with AI the ability to control the weather reinstating extinct species these are just a few of the things that will happen in the next 100 years hop in our time machine and get ready for a wild ride as we travel decade by decade exploring what Humanity will look like in terms of Technology space exploration and more 2025 to 2035 in just the next 10 years we're going to see some incredible progress in terms of space travel SpaceX will be sending humans to the moon the first step will be an uncrewed demo Mission but

soon after that SpaceX will launch the Artemis Mission allowing humans to set foot on the moon once again and if you're wondering about getting to Mars well that's going to take a little bit longer stick around and we'll tell you when but what else is going to happen to Earth in this time frame well will fight a deadly killer pancreatic cancer with a new vaccine it's based in mRNA technology the same technology we used for the covid vaccine the first step to fighting this cancer will be surgery but the vaccine will help prevent it from

coming back vaccination will drive the body to produce protective tea cells these will recognize any new cancer cells and wipe them out now while we're saving lives from cancer humans will still be facing threats from climate change one casualty of our climate crisis will be Bangkok a city of 10 million people unfortunately it's soft lomy ground is sinking lower and lower 10 cm a year the pumping of groundwater is pulling the city down now at the same time global warming is causing the oceans to rise this beautiful city will see a terrible and devastating flood

within the next decade in the most extreme scenario 96% % of the city would be below sea level by the year 2030 maybe a barrier at the mouth of the chiao frea river would help a little but flooding can't be held off forever for cities that don't get flooded with water well they'll see a big shift on the roads self-driving cars will finally deliver on their promise to dominate in the next decade unfortunately they'll probably be tied to a subscription service so get ready to pay an extra 10 bucks a month for car flicks and

if you do choose to drive your own car it'll be kind of like a hobby like flying a kite or something speaking of subscription payments and money in the next 100 years it could all be going digital yeah imagine a world where cash is as ancient as the dinosaurs and every transaction is traceable oh we believe this shift will likely push many towards cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin the only problem is Bitcoin mining is notorious for its high energy consumption and environmental impact which could make our flooded city situation even worse but luckily for us one company

is already working to solve that problem Griffin digital mining we believe these guys are like the eco-friendly superheroes of the Bitcoin world they're a 100% renewable energy powered Bitcoin miner using Hydro power to reduce their environmental footprint drastically Griffin seeks to utilize cuttingedge digital mining technology to achieve high efficiency while keeping costs low they were the first to publish a detailed report on their carbon footprint in the Bitcoin mining industry and they're one of the inaugural recipients of the green proofs for Bitcoin certification and we believe Griffin proves you can mine Bitcoin sustainably so as

we move into this digital age keep an eye on Griffin they're aiming to make sure our digital currency future is a green one but we're getting a little ahead of ourselves we've got 90 more years to cover hop back in the time machine and let's head over to the next decade 2035 to 2044 okay let's check in on how space exploration is progressing we'll finally get to surf the hydrocarbon Seas of Titan Saturn's largest moon we'll send a submarine into space getting it to land on another Moon and Plunge Into The Ocean there by studying

Titan we'll learn new and fascinating things about how life began on Earth Titan has an an internal liquid water ocean which could contain the building blocks to alien or human life it also has Dunes that are rich in carbon and nitrogen compounds who knows what new life forms we might find out there but that's not all this is also the decade when we finally have a crew of humans landing on Mars we'll get a better understanding on how to deal with the many challenges of this Mission by around 2040 and we'll find solutions for all

sorts of things we previously thought weren't doable things like how to minimize the effects of radiation during the trip to Mars and how to produce oxygen from the Martian atmosphere we'll also solve the problem of having fresh food and water on the planet not to mention we'd be building pressurized radiation resistant shelters that will allow us to live on the red planet and it's a good thing we'll be further along in our exploration of other worlds too because things might be getting a little too hot to handle here on Earth by 2035 our Planet will

be 1 and A2 de C warmer lemurs will be going extinct and those cute Koalas in Australia say goodbye to them too extreme heat waves will be common in the US worse than that high-intensity hurricane winds are breaking and redefining the hurricane scale Category 6 hurricanes with sustained winds over 125 kmet per second which may be pretty infrequent today we've only seen five of these since 2013 but in 20 years they'll hit the Gulf Coast cities so frequently that people will start emptying out of the coastal cities goodbye Houston Galveston Baton Rouge now weather won't

be the only thing that's changing our demographics will be shifting too by around 2044 white people will be a minority population in the US and if your reaction to this is me so what well you're in good company a majority of Americans feel this is neither a good nor a bad thing for society 2045 to 2054 climate news will get worse during the 10 years between 2045 and 2055 temperatures will be 2° C above pre-industrial levels that's a lot this will have important consequences for the trillion odd species on Earth right now many will be

victims of the sixth Extinction event in this decade 40 to 50% of our current species could go extinct among them are the African Forest elephants Amer leopards and the yansi finless Dolphins populations of these creatures are already dwindling today so unless there's a drastic change in our warming climate poaching and Forest loss well animals like these are on their way out the Dead Sea a unique natural phenomenon with ass salt content t 10 times higher than the oceans is also at risk sadly these salty Waters will slowly evaporate due to the immense heat currently in

the Dead Sea evaporation is causing water levels to drop an incredible 1.2 M each year during this decade we'll finally kiss a goodbye now with the devastating effects of global warming there will be more pressure to innovate we'll see a major new development in energy that will crack the code to commercializing fusion power this is the process that smashes two hydrogen atoms together to form helium and in the process release a lot of energy today we don't know how to do this cheaply but 20 years down the line we'll figure out how to get the

cost down this will be the beginning of the end of carbon emissions something else we emitted into the air decades ago might also finally have an update in 199 9 Ukraine sent a message named Cosmic call one into space in 2051 this message will reach its destination glea 777 a yellow subgiant star 52 light years away maybe we'll get a call back from the aliens on their iPhone 6751 2055 to 2064 in 2058 the Beatles music catalog will enter the public domain I'd play some of it for you right now but we get a copyright

strike but not 50 years from now also in this decade we'll have established a permanent presence on Mars probably not the colony of 1 million people that Elon Musk has projected but definitely a base camp and the start of a Martian future back on Earth will'll finally have umbrellas that don't get wet in the rain not super exciting at first glance but it means we'll be masters of nanotechnology we'll be able to incorporate tiny structures into Fabrics which do amazing things in The Umbrellas we'll use What's called the Lotus effect where the nanop particles repel

water Nano particles in our clothing could dissolve dirt and kill microbes so we never have to wash our clothing either I'd be happy if I oh never had to do laundry ever again but forget about laundry there's another thing we'll be rid of by 2060 we'll eliminate coal and oil from our Energy System Solar and wind power will be widely incorporated into society and we'll be making even bigger strides in fusion power more on that in a minute 2065 to 2074 now if you think nanotech clothing is pretty cool well in the next decade we'll

be mastering Pico technology this is 1,000 times smaller than Nano Tech scientists will be manipulating the energy states within electrons this will change the structures and properties of individual atoms from this new types of matter will emerge who knows maybe we'll be building entirely new kinds of chips or supercomputers using this new technology now if you're watching this and you think you might have a hard time making it to 2065 well you're in luck because by this decade technology in the medical field will have progressed so far that we'll be able to print new body

parts in 3D yeah we'll be rejuvenating ourselves with stem cells and Gene editing will'll be able to cure diseases through a combination of these and other methods the medical field will be helping people live years maybe decades longer 2075 to 2084 okay by the late 2070s the transition to clean energy energ will be complete Humanity will be carbon neutral across the globe and the last of natural gas power will be phased out electric cars will be everywhere the gas vehicles we ride around in today will be considered vintage toys and with the advances made in

nanotechnology our solar cells which convert the sun's energy into electricity will be super efficient now technology will optimize our human bodies too artificial organs bi I IC eyes and ears for supervision and hearing and implants to enhance intelligence humans 2.0 will be vastly superior to what we are today more intelligent by Design This is the decade we'll also find a new way to launch ourselves into space we'll look back at today and think gosh space rockets that was so 2024 instead we'll have a space elevator this will acquire a cable that runs from the ground

up through the atmosphere all the way to a satellite that orbits in sync with the Earth's rotation a cable will have to be made of some special material maybe Diamond Nano threads 2085 to 2094 now despite our efforts to curb climate change temperatures will keep Rising due to the carbon dioxide that's already been baked into the atmosphere from prior decades many parts of the world won't have snow anymore we might have to say goodbye to the Winter Olympics skiing and ice hockey but that might be the least of our worries with our ice continuing to

melt polar bears could face Extinction their numbers will have already dropped by 70% between 2000 and 2050 the few remaining bears in the interior Arctic will be struggling to stay alive but having figured out the D Extinction processes we'll know how to bring the polar bears back in the future we've already created embryos of some extinct animals using genome mapping and Gene editing in the next half century scientists might figure out how to implant these embryos into closely related species giving us a path out of Extinction for the first time in Earth's history we may

be able to turn back the clock with global temperatures still Rising by 2090 Western Antarctica will be as warm as today's Alaska or Iceland if we travel even further ahead in time the new landscape would be unrecognizable many of the largest Antarctic Ice Sheets will have melted away and human settlements will be on the rise with new towns and urban infrastructure built on the Antarctic soil 2095 to 2104 the landscape will also be different for the Atlantic Ocean in the second half of the 21st century a vast network of wind farms will be springing up

in this part of the World by the end of the century they'll transform our methods of power generation but they'll have another interesting capability allowing us to control and moderate the weather even as hurricanes intensify and break all records wind turbines can absorb the energy reducing hurricanes from a level 5 to a level one some of the gulf cities that emptied out May start to repopulate over 80% of the Amazon rainforest will disappear by the end of the century logging fires farming and Industry will destroy this valuable Resource as a result many plant and animal

species that lived in these forests will have gone extinct and Indigenous peoples who made their home here may be wiped out rapid globalization and interconnected will also cause the extinction of our languages in the late 20th century there were over 7,000 languages worldwide but by the time we get to the year 2100 we'll be down to just three languages English Mandarin and Spanish 2105 to 2115 okay if you're able to live until the 2100s genetic engineering will be able to transform your body in new and unusual ways early in the 22nd century we might be

incorporating a key element of plants into our human cells giving some of us fantastic new capabilities which element chloroplasts where photosynthesis takes place this would enable us to take in the sun's energy and carbon dioxide to produce our own sugars it'll be a whole new way of feeding our ourselves and humans could also find a way to live forever the technology to upload our minds including our complete memories into a computer will be perfected the world might divide into those who want to live forever inside a computer and those who don't 2115 to 2124 by

the dawn of the 22nd century AI will be an integral part of all Society humans merged with AI will possess vastly Superior cognitive capabilities these human AI hybrids will combine the emotional intelligence of humans with the intellectual and analytical superpowers of AI this could create Wars between humans who have merged with AI and those who have not will now have permanent settlements on the moon and Mars we'll have explored the outer reaches of our solar system sending missions to the gas giant sence the Kyper belt and Beyond will be mining Asteroids for minerals and metals

couples getting married will argue about whether the destination wedding will take place on the moon or on the red planet well maybe they'll marry on one and honeymoon on the other the next 100 years we'll see terrible lows and amazing highs with massive climactic shifts Earth will transform cities will be underwater and many species will go extinct even as this is happening humans will merge with AI to become exceptional transhuman beings will'll conquer space eventually we'll become carbon neutral and then find ways to tame the weather and in the distant future we'll apply our intelligence

to repopulate the Earth with the species we wiped out if you're young buckle up the next 100 years are going to be a wild and amazing ride but what about about the next billion years what will they look like well that sounds like a story for another what if
