What will the earth look like in 100 years? – Youth Voices? ›

In 100 years, oceans will most likely rise, displacing many people, and it will continue to become warm and acidic. Natural disasters like wildfires and hurricanes will continue to be very common and water resources could be scarce.

Environmental Changes

In the next 100 years, we could see a significant decrease in the earth's resources, such as water and air. The oceans could become so polluted that they would be unusable, and the air could become so thick with smog that it would be difficult to breathe.

As this scenario continues, by 100 million years from the present, the continental spreading will have reached its maximum extent and the continents will then begin to coalesce. In 250 million years, North America will collide with Africa. South America will wrap around the southern tip of Africa.

In 2050, the world will be vastly different from what we know today, as a result of the integration of whole range of technologies, including: quantum computing, metaverse, augmented reality, nanotechnology, human brain-computer interfaces, driverless technology, artificial intelligence, workplace automation, robotics ...

By 150 years from now, the global population may have increased, leading to increased pressure on resources and infrastructure. Changes in life expectancy, birth rates, and migration patterns can also have far-reaching effects on societies.

Perhaps we will have longer arms and legs. In a colder, Ice-Age type climate, could we even become even chubbier, with insulating body hair, like our Neanderthal relatives?

In the year 3000, humans will exist in a world transformed by advanced technologies, AI, and robotics. They will possess enhanced physical and mental capabilities, coexisting and collaborating with intelligent machines.

This suggests some surprising things about our future. We will likely live longer and become taller, as well as more lightly built. We'll probably be less aggressive and more agreeable, but have smaller brains.

In about 1 billion years, our planet will be too hot to maintain oceans on its surface to support life. That's a really long time away: an average human lifetime is about 73 years, so a billion is more than 13 million human lifetimes.

But how long can humans last? Eventually humans will go extinct. According to the most wildly optimistic estimate, our species will last perhaps another billion years but end when the expanding envelope of the sun swells outward and heats the planet to a Venus-like state. But a billion years is a long time.

How will humans look after 1000 years? ›

The skull will get bigger but the brain will get smaller

Humans in the year 3000 will have a larger skull but, at the same time, a very small brain. "It's possible that we will develop thicker skulls, but if a scientific theory is to be believed, technology can also change the size of our brains," they write.

It is expected that by 2070 life expectancy at birth will increase to 89.7 years for women and 87.4 years for men – an increase of about 5 and 6 years for each sex, respectively.

Risk estimates. Given the limitations of ordinary observation and modeling, expert elicitation is frequently used instead to obtain probability estimates. Humanity has a 95% probability of being extinct in 7,800,000 years, according to J.

Given that our species is around 100,000 years old and a billion years is 10,000 times longer than that period, it's fairly safe to say that while our descendants (if clever enough to solve the problem in Scenario 2) could possibly still be alive, nothing identifiable as H. Sapiens will be around.

“Based on mathematical models, our longest potential [lifespan] is around 150 years,” says Dr. Blander. However, “we know that genetic manipulation of model organisms increases their lifespan by up to 100%, so taking into account point number one [humans] can live up to 244 years.” But he doesn't stop there.

In five hundred years technology should be more advanced but the world will be polluted due to the waste humans produce and it will be hot due to the Global warming. If global warming keeps increasing at the rate it is the earth will be unfit for humans to live in.

Expected time of death: several billion years from now. But life on Earth will end much, much sooner than that. Earth will become unlivable for most organisms in about 1.3 billion years due to the sun's natural evolution, experts told Live Science.

Humans looked essentially the same as they do today 10,000 years ago, with minor differences in height and build due to differences in diet and lifestyle. But in the next 10 millennia, we may well have refined genetic 'editing' techniques to allow our children to all be born beautiful and healthy.

Bill Nye has given an insight into what he thinks America will be like in 100 years, saying many people will have moved away from Florida and New Orleans, that electricity will come from nuclear fusion and solar power, and that we will have systems in place to avert natural disasters.

A third of the world's population could live in a climate similar to the Sahara in just 50 years, according to a study published in PNAS in 2020. That means 3.5 billion people could live with average temperatures in the mid-80s, “outside of humanity's comfort zone” by 2070.
