/kloc-what will the earth look like in 0/000 years?

A year ago, in a speech by the Oxford University Union, the legendary Stephen Hawking declared that human beings can only live 1000 years. So, do you think the future of mankind is bright or dark? /kloc-what will happen to the earth in 0/000 years? What will happen to humans?

1. Humans will live 1000 years. If you know, you should know that billionaires have invested millions of dollars in research: slowing down or stopping aging completely. /kloc-after 0/000 years, medical engineers can design remedial measures for each component that causes tissue aging. Gene editing tools are already here, which may control our genes and make people immune to diseases.

2. Humans will migrate to another planet. From now on 1000 years later, the only way for human survival may be to build new settlements in space. The mission of Space Exploration Technology Company is "to make mankind a space civilization and multi-planet species by building a self-sufficient city on Mars". Elon Musk, the founder of the company, hopes to launch their spacecraft for the first time before 2022, and four spacecraft will fly to Mars by 2024.

We all look the same. In his speculative thinking experiment, Dr. Kwan speculated that in the distant future (100000 years later), human beings will develop bigger foreheads, bigger nostrils, bigger eyes and more pigmented skin. Scientists have been studying ways to edit the genome so that parents can choose the appearance of their children.

4. Ultra-high-speed intelligent computers will appear. In 20 14, a supercomputer made the most accurate simulation of the human brain. From now on 1000 years later, computers are expected to match and surpass the operation speed of human brain, and solve the tasks that ordinary computers need to solve in 10 years. In the new century, quantum computer will help to develop more effective drugs and diagnosis, strengthen space exploration and help car driving. At the same time, quantum computing may pose a real threat to privacy and information security.

5. Humans will become semi-robots. Machines have been able to enhance people's hearing and vision. Scientists and engineers are developing bionic eye to help blind people see. From now on 1000 years later, integration with science and technology may be the only way for human beings to compete with artificial intelligence. Combining people's thoughts with computers will create a supercomputer, which can execute complex equations and search the Internet through thinking.

6. The Great Extinction is coming. The last extinction wiped out dinosaurs from the earth's surface. A recent study shows that the rate of species extinction is 100 times that of the twentieth century. Some scientists believe that only reducing population can help civilization continue.
