What will human civilization become in 20 thousand years? Which of these two results do you agree with?

Compared with the age when the solar system was formed, human beings have existed on the earth for a short time, only more than 3 million years. However, in this short period of more than 3 million years, mankind has completed all-round evolution in all aspects, and wisdom was born, becoming the only advanced intelligent life on earth.

To be precise, all the achievements of human civilization have been completed in recent thousands of years. From the first industrial revolution to the present, the scientific theory and technology of human beings have surpassed the sum of all civilizations since the birth of human beings, and human beings are developing at an unimaginable speed.

Through wisdom, human beings got rid of poverty and the law of the jungle. After two world wars in the last century, mankind has learned more about the preciousness of peace, and most people understand that vigorously developing science and technology is the only way to benefit mankind in the future.

Then we may think about such a question. Since human beings are developing so rapidly at present, what will human civilization look like in 20 thousand years?

In fact, 20,000 years is still very short in the process of human evolution, but with the arrival of scientific and technological civilization, earth-shaking changes can indeed take place in 20,000 years, and the whole human civilization system may change. So after 20,000 years, human beings may develop in two directions. Let's take a look. You can also use your imagination to discuss what the human world will look like in 20 thousand years and the direction of human civilization.

First, human civilization has returned to primitive society.

This speculation is negative, but according to the current development process of mankind, it is not impossible. Although mankind advocates peace at present, it can effectively prevent the harm caused by various diseases and natural disasters to human civilization. However, human beings have been a belligerent species since ancient times. If resources are gradually exhausted in the future and there are no other effective energy substitutes, contradictions between countries will increase and war may occur.

Therefore, if we did not consider the common interests of mankind at that time, the third world war broke out and human civilization might fall short. Because many weapons in the world today are deadly, which is completely different from the first and second world wars. If mankind enters nuclear war, the earth's environment will deteriorate sharply. Even in winter, diseases and natural disasters will ravage the earth, which is not only a disaster for mankind, but also a disaster for the whole earth.

I still remember Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists in the 20th century, once said: I don't know if there will be a third world war, but if there is, then I guess people's weapons in the fourth world war will be stones and wood. This shows that in today's world with nuclear weapons, the outbreak of the third world war is a terrible thing, and the third world war may return human civilization to the prehistoric world.

Second, all mankind work together for the well-being of mankind.

Compared with the first guess, the second result is very optimistic. The second speculation is that human beings will be highly intelligent in 20 thousand years. At that time, mankind has understood that unity, peace and struggle can make mankind go further, all kinds of diseases will be broken, and mankind will not get sick again.

Moreover, at that time, human beings had mastered the ability to obtain the energy of stars, and various planets in the solar system were also developed and utilized by human beings. Human beings are no longer worried about energy. It can be said that the supply of energy exceeds demand and is inexhaustible.

In an environment with sufficient food, although humans may have moved to other planets at that time, they have given extra protection to their home planet, and the earth's environment may have returned to a prehistoric state, and the whole earth is a thriving scene.

At that time, human interstellar navigation technology was very developed, and the speed of human spacecraft had reached sub-light speed or even higher. Humans have been able to go to neighboring galaxies, set up bases there and develop the resources of other galaxies. Livable planets have even been found in other galaxies, and interstellar migration has taken place.

At that time, there may be a scene that surprises modern people. You work on the earth, and your grandparents may live on Mars, so if you want to visit your grandparents on Mars, you need to take an interstellar flight to Mars. How desirable.

To sum up, we certainly hope that human civilization in 20,000 years will be the second result. We also firmly believe that human beings will become better through their own wisdom and efforts, and we also hope that human civilization will develop forever, because we have never been anywhere except the earth, and the universe is so big that we must go out and have a look.
