Forever... Such an amazing thing.
Numbers... you can sit and go on and on and on with numbers, and never reach an end.
Same thing happens with technology.
BF2142 gave us a detailed GUESS at what life in the year 2142 will be like... Although its completely wrong about the 'ice age' thing, but still...

Just image, technology has grown so much in just 100 years, what could it be like in... 1000 years? Flying cars? Teleport machines? Probly. But to the people in the future thats nothing.
Thats what amazes me, is technology will never end! there will always be something new to invent.

I REALLY wish i could take a look 1 million years from now. If earth/humans are still here, ide like to see what life is like.
15 more years! 15 more years!

Flying cars, yes. Teleportation, maybe. Teleporation of humans, no. I watched something on it and they've successfully transported light from point A to point B. But, they said in order to move a human, there would be too many problems. Such as, the heat would be so incredible, it'd kill the subject. Also, that if they could successfully do it, what would really happen, is that a copy of yourself would be made somewhere else, and the original would be still exist. So, in order to balance it, they'd have to vaporize the original and the duplicate would go on living. Which, to me, means that they'd kill you and your duplicate would go on living. Fuck that.

I'd like to see where our species is headed. That's the only thing I really hate about dying. What the hell are we going to do? How long are we going to live. I mean, technically, our species has the greatest chance, other than roaches, of surviving forever. Just gotta dodge asteriods and nuclear war and we'll be fine. I think we'll eventually end up in space somewhere. Star Trek style. Just no warp drives (funny thing is, I saw something about warp too. Instead of moving the ship at faster than light speeds which is impossible, simply move the space in front of and behind the ship at warp speeds and travel with it. SIMPLE!!!!).

What amazes me, is that if you picture us being on the only living planet in the universe (possibly) at this time. If we die out, there could be a whole universe, but with no living things in it. Just inanimate objects. We don't know how long it could take until another form of life emerges or if it ever will, if our planet dies out, it could be the end of life, for billions of years, or forever.

We also dont know if there's been loads of other intelligent life forms around for ages, but the same thing could have happened to them!

There is no such thing as time. Time is man made, made to keep track of our lives and to keep track of days and nights. If our solar system suddenly imploded and everything ceased to exist, another species would pop up somewhere else in the universe instantaneously due to the fact that the universe doesn't go by time. It has existed and will always exist.

That being said, look at this:

Each point of light is probably a galaxy. Most galaxies have like 500 billion million stars in them. Each of those stars most likely have planets orbiting them. This picture was taken out of a small portion of the sky. How likely is it that this universe is littered with civilizations. None of us will never really know each other exist due to the fact that the universe is like 78 billion light years in diameter. The size of our known universe is so immense, and our lives so short in comparison, we'll never contact each other.

Ah, but it does not mean they will exist instantly, there will still be a period where no life exists, even if we cannot give it a timing. I used time as a tool to help people imagine how long it could take for life to occur again. Also I believe there are other lifeforms out there, just because the thought of us being the only living things in a universe of this size is mind-boggling (don't start saying "ah but there is no such thing as size"! You know what I mean)

I know what you mean and I agree. What I'm just trying to get across is that when there is no consciousness, there is no time. It's basically saying that nothing existed before you were born. Even more than that, nothing existed before you could form memories. Since you can't remember, and weren't there to experience moments before birth, everything that ever happened, happened a tenth of a nanosecond before we became conscious.

Nah, with my limited intelligence, it takes me time to try and get my point across.

I imagine the world as a much more boring place in 100 years.

Maybe this is the best time to live it,anytime sooner and we wouldn't have any good technology, any time later and the world will be boring. We won't drive cars but we will get in an electric car that takes us to our destination on a set path. Smoking and drinking will be banned everywhere, and it will be mandatory to keep a healthy diet.

It's kind of like Music. From what I can see, all the music genres have been invented and exploited. There's nowhere else left for music to go. Everything falls into certain categories like, Rock, Rap, Techno, Sanjaya, etc etc.

The future will be a place where, if we reach it, there'll be no disease, pain, death, wars, and we'll have nothing to do but go on and make a living sitting in a cubical waiting for... wait... that's my life!
