This is a video by Real-Life Lore made

possible by Squarespace. Make your next

move with Squarespace. Humanity has been

around for about 200,000 years and has

experienced a massive amount of change

already. From our starting point in

Africa, we've managed to colonize the

entire world at this point and even

reached as far away as the moon. The

Bering land bridge that once connected

Asia and North America with one another

has long since been submerged beneath

the ocean, so if humanity exists for

another billion years, then what

additional changes or events can we

reasonably expect to happen? Well,

starting at about ten thousand years

into the future, we will encounter the

year 10,000 problem. Software that

encodes the AD calendar year as a four

digit decimal will no longer be able to

encode dates starting at 10,000 AD. Iit

will be a real Y10K, and in addition,

if current trends of globalization

continues, then human genetic variation

will no longer be regionalised by this

point, meaning that all human genetic

traits like skin color and hair color

will be evenly distributed across the

world. *Seizure Warning* In 20,000 years from now future

languages will only contain one out of

every 100 core vocabulary words of their

present-day

counterparts. Essentially no modern

language will be recognizable by this

point. In 50,000 years earth will enter

into another glacial period regardless

of current global warming effects.

Niagara Falls will have completely

eroded away into Lake Erie and ceased to

exist and due to glacial rebound and

erosion. The many lakes of the Canadian

Shield will also cease to exist. Also, one

full day on Earth will have increased by

one full second requiring a leap second

to be added to every day. In 100,000

years for now the stars and

constellations visible from Earth will

be completely different than they are

from today. Also, this is the estimated

amount of time that it would take to

fully terraform Mars into a habitable

planet similar to the Earth. In 250,000

years, the Lo-ihi Volcano will rise

above the surface and form a new island

in the Hawaiian island chain. In five

hundred thousand years from now Earth

will have likely been struck by an

asteroid measuring one kilometer in

diameter

unless humanity

artificially prevents it. Additionally,

the Badlands National Park in South

Dakota will have completely eroded away

by this point. In 950,000 years the

meteor crater in Arizona, which is

considered the best preserved meteorite

impact crater on Earth will have

completely eroded away. in 1 million

years Earth will have likely experienced

a super volcanic eruption large enough

to erupt 3200 cubic kilometers of ash, an

event similar to the Toba super eruption

70,000 years ago that almost made

humanity extinct. In addition, the star

Betelgeuse will have exploded into a

supernova by this point and the

explosion will be easily visible from

Earth even during the daytime. In 2,000,000

years, the Grand Canyon will have

eroded even more significantly; slightly

deepening, but it will mostly widen out

into a large Valley. If humanity has

colonized two different planets in the

solar system and the universe by this

point and the populations on each planet

have remained separate from one another,

then humanity will have likely evolved

into various different species at this

point. These different human species will

be adapted to their different planets

and may not be aware of the other human

species located in the rest of the

universe. in 10,000,000 years a large

part of East Africa will split off from

the rest of the continent. A new ocean

basin will form between the two sides,

and Africa will be divided into two

separate land masses. In 50,000,000 years

Phobos, a moon of Mars, will collide with

the planet causing massive destruction

there. Back on Earth, the remaining part

of Africa will collide with Eurasia and

close off the Mediterranean Sea forever.

A new mountain range similar in size to

the Himalayas will form between the now

connected land masses and may possibly

produce a mountain that is higher than

Mount Everest. In 60,000,000 years the

Canadian Rockies will have completely

eroded into a flat plain. In 80,000,000

years from now all of the Hawaiian

Islands will have sunk back beneath the

ocean, and in 100,000,000 years the earth

will have likely been struck by an

asteroid similar to the event that wiped

out the dinosaurs 66,000,000 years ago,

assuming of course that it isn't

artificially prevented. In addition, at

this point in the future the rings

around the planet Saturn

will no longer exist. In 240,000,000

years Earth will have finally completed

one full orbit around the galactic

center from its current position. In

250,000,000 years all of the continents on

Earth will have fused together to form a

supercontinent similar to Pangaea. A

possible name for this continent is

Pangaea Ultima and it will probably look

something sort of like this image. Then,

in 400,000,000 - 500,000,000 years the

supercontinent will break apart once

again. In 500,000,000 - 600,000,000 years a

deadly gamma ray burst will likely occur

within six-and-a-half thousand light

years of Earth. If conditions are right,

or wrong, if you prefer, the burst could

strike Earth and severely damage the

ozone layer which would cause a mass

extinction event. in 600,000,000 years

the moon will have moved far enough away

from Earth that total solar eclipses

will no longer be possible after this

date. In addition, the sun's increasing

luminosity will cause severe effects on

Earth. Plate tectonic movements will stop

at this point, and carbon dioxide levels

in the atmosphere will decrease

dramatically. C3 photosynthesis will no

longer be possible at this point and 99%

of current plant life on Earth will die.

In 800,000,000 years CO2

levels will have continued to fall to

the point where C4 photosynthesis will

no longer be possible. Free oxygen and

ozone disappear from the atmosphere, and

all complex life on Earth will die.

Finally in 1 billion years the sun's

luminosity will have increased 10% from

its current state. The surface

temperature on Earth will rise to a

sweltering 47 degrees Celsius on average.

The atmosphere will turn into a moist

greenhouse, and the world's oceans will

evaporate away. Pockets of liquid water

may still exist at the Earth's poles,

however, which means that they will

probably become the last bastion of life

on our planet. A lot will change over the

course of a billion years but a lot has

changed in the last billion years as

well. In addition to the things that

we've talked about in this video, who

knows what else a billion years could

bring? *Ad Time* This video was made possible by

Squarespace. If you are wanting to create

a new website for your next

project then Squarespace is the absolute

easiest way of doing it. I've personally

used them before for several different

projects and what I think is best about

them is that you don't need any

programming skills in order to make a

beautiful website. It's incredibly easy

and can be done in just a few minutes

and there's always someone to call 24/7

if you ever need any help. You can create

a blog a store, a page for your music, art,

or really just about anything, and what's

best of all is that you can get 10% off

of your first order by using the code

"Real Life Lore" over at

"squarespace.com/reallifelore" That also means

that you'll be directly supporting my

greed and help me to create additional

new videos, so please go ahead and check

them out over at "squarespace.com/reallifelore"
