That's What Will Happen to Earth and Us In 1,000 Years

[Music] what will earth and humans look like in 1,000 years hey I don't know about you but in a thousand years I'm gonna look pretty bad you know shriveled up dusty you know dead oh oh you're talking about humans in the future oh never mind you know one year ago in his speech at Oxford University Union the legendary Stephen Hawking proclaimed that humanity could only survive for another thousand years sound scary right well we at bright side decided to find out whether our future is doomed or bright and so we put together a list of the most exciting predictions for a new millennium you could expect colonies in space and superfast computers but a house that you can disassemble and put together in a matter of minutes and x-ray eyes Wow give this video a like to launch our time machine we're traveling to the future so buckle up and enjoy the ride counting down from number ten humans will live for a thousand years billionaires are already investing millions of dollars into research on slowing or stopping aging completely when you have billions like the founders of Google Larry Page and Sergey Brin why not invest it in an opportunity to be spending them for another thousand years in 30:17 medical engineers could design remedies for each component that causes tissues to age gene editing tools are already here which could potentially control our genes and make humans immune to a disease inserting healthy genes will give us stronger bones lower risk of cancer and it will make us tolerant to pain however it might also become a source of surprise would you like to have fuchsia eyes no it is just one of the natural mutation editing genes might cause a fun one right number nine we'll be able to transfer our minds to different bodies have you seen selfless Ryan Reynolds is in it and that sounds like a reason good enough to watch it for some people already but it is not just him in this movie Sir Ben Kingsley decides to live forever and so he transfers his mind to Ryan's body sounds fantastic right well it might be a thing of the future a human brain has about 86 billion neurons in it they send signals to each other and to recall something the same network of neurons is activated so if we make a map of all the neurons in the brain we could create a computer model of it something like a virtual brain it means we could download all our memories to a computer and uploading might also be possible scientists who have developed optogenetics are already actively working in it they're using algae and their experiments so far and they're doing well the human brain is way more complicated so it will take time but they might just get there in a thousand years [Music] number eight humans will move to another planet in a thousand years from now the only way for Humanity to survive might be to establish some settlements in space SpaceX has a mission to enable humans to become a spacefaring civilization and a multi-planet species by building a self-sustaining city on Mars the founder of the company Elon Musk hopes to have the first launch of their spacecraft by 2022 with four flying to Mars by 2020 for life on Mars will not be the same as on earth of course it gets 66% less sunlight and as a 62% weaker gravitational pull than Earth so humans who live there are likely to develop larger pupils to absorb more light they will also be taller since their spines will get longer as their vertebrae fluid will expand moving to another planet sounds pretty real with all the crazy transportation the bright minds are working on today Elon Musk himself introduced the Hyperloop the underground transportation system which takes you from San Francisco to Los Angeles in just 35 minutes Skylon is being developed in the UK it's a super-fast plane that will take you from London to Sydney in four hours and even fly into space number seven we will all look the same yes ladies Ryan Reynolds and I will look just the same Tribble dusty and Det yeah well oh wait we're talking about the future huh okay well if there is a chance we will all look the same anyways does it mean you can stop working out now and still look like Angelina Jolie in the future and hold on we're not talking about right now it might happen centuries from now and no not everyone will look like Angelina Jolie in his speculative thought experiment dr. Quan hypothesized that in the distant future more than 100,000 years from now humans would change in their appearance dr. Quan holds a PhD in computational genomics from Washington University so he knows what he's talking about according to him humans will develop a larger forehead larger nostrils larger eyes and more pigmented skin so what we're gonna look like chili Willie anyway scientists are already working on ways to edit genomes so their parents can choose the way their children will look what will it mean to us well it's not just about the beauty of the future baby of course editing the genes of an embryo could help us fight genetic diseases before the baby is even born however when a group of scientists from China shared the results of their embryo gene editing experiments it caused a lot of debates is it ethical to change a future human do we actually have the right to do it share your opinions on this in the comment section number six there will be superfast intelligent computers in 2014 a supercomputer carried out the most accurate simulation of the human brain today and a thousand years from now computers are predicted to match and overtake the computational speed of the human brain and solve tasks that take a normal computer a decade to solve in the new century quantum computers will help in developing more effective drugs and diagnosis enhancing space exploration and helping automobiles drive themselves at the same time quantum computing might pose a real threat to privacy in information security if it breaks public key cryptography it will be able to give access to data that everyone is not supposed to have access to like that of the military and other not for everyone fields number five humans will become cyborgs machines can already enhance human hearing and eyesight scientists and engineers are developing bionic eyes to help blind people see the next step could be making our eyes portable x-ray machines yes the dream of every 12 year old boy will finally come true the extra sensitive hearing could also be something normal for the humans of 30:17 in a thousand years from now merging with technology might be the only way for humanity to compete with artificial intelligence yes those robots you see on TV and science fairs might look sweet but who knows what they have in their mechanical minds it is better to be safe than sorry merging human minds with computers would create a super brain that could perform complex equations and search the internet just by thinking now who is the smart one here robot guy number four mass extinction is on the way run but wait don't run first listen the last mass extinction wiped out the dinosaurs from the face of the earth a recent study revealed that the rate of extinction for species in the 20th century has been up to 100 times higher than would have been normal without human impact according to some scientists only the gradual shrinkage of the human population can help civilization to persist more and more humans means an ever growing demand for food and water humans are trying to effectively use every piece of land and destroy the natural habitats of many species and there is air and water pollution as so if we do nothing to change this situation our planet will not be the same in a thousand years and it won't be a change for the better number three we will all speak the same global language now don't we all speak one global language already obviously we do but it is not all that simple what is the most widely spoken language in the world today click like if you think it's English well we've got news for you you're wrong Chinese has over a billion native speakers and English only around 360 million another half a billion speak English as their second language so we can't be sure English as we know it today we'll just replace all other languages of the world you say the major factor that is most likely to lead to a universal language is the streamlining of languages linguists predict that 100 years from now 90% of languages will disappear due to migration and those that remain will become simplified the world currently speaks 6,000 languages and only 600 of them are likely to survive by 2117 so anything is possible by 3017 a Tower of Babel scenario still seems unlikely though there is a good chance people of the world will just become bilingual and the linguistic Armageddon will not come upon us number two buildings will assemble and disassemble on command in the future humans are likely to be able to create a virtual world around them using the concept of utility fog the utility fog idea was introduced by dr. hall and represents a polymorphic material comprised of trillions of interlinked microscopic robots that can essentially create any shape dr. Hall himself describes utility fog as the stuff that dreams are made up kind of like what Humphrey Bogart would say imagine this you got a new coach guys that's a kind of purse a month later you grew tired of it that happens we know you saw a different one somewhere and now you want it not your previous purchase so you either start hating on your coach but use it anyway or you get rid of it and spend money on a new one your husband hates you you start a fight everyone is unhappy with utility fog you can make the tiny robots inside your coach transform it into a new one new furniture every day yes change wall colors the floor plan or your entire home as often as you want easy you can even disassemble your home as you leave for work and then get it back in the evening to save space you can also make a utility fog car do you want it already just wait it might be there sooner than 30:17 or not and number one nano technology will solve the energy and pollution crisis a thousand years from now nano technology will be able to clean up environmental damage purify air and water and capture that energy of the Sun nuclear fusion energy power plants with no carbon emissions lab-grown meat to feed the world will all be a reality new materials will answer the need for new environmentally friendly and more efficient energy storage technology they will be a thousand to ten thousand times more powerful than those we use today electric cars will recharge as quick as petrol ones today and will replace the environmentally non friendly vehicles this technology which was adapted from that of soft contact lens making science can be sometimes pretty ironic ah will be used in aerospace energy generation and the production of household items as basic as mobile phones and flat-screen devices how do you like this picture of our distant future of course we'll all be dead but which of the technologies described in this video would you like to try if you could share your opinion hit the like button and click subscribe to all we stay on the bright side [Music]
