      They bought huge quantities of food: they, alone, cannot eat all of that. Same for drugs (medicines). As a result, people who need those to eat or to cure a headache don't have the abiliity to buy them, as it's now out of stock... And those who bought all drugs and food are just storing them, with no use... just to calm down their anxiety.

      Well.... just exactly how deadly is it? We have two things happening at the same time now: A pandemic killing around 1 million humans each year, and countermeasures locking one billion humans inside... So far countermeasures cause more problems then the virus itself. 102 years ago, in 1918, the Spanish Flu killed millions each week while humanity was many times smaller then it is today, but society did not break down, nor was it locked down.
      At the moment, the virus is dangerous to individuals, but not to society as a whole. The danger we ARE facing: washing our hands with sanitizer a few times an hour, not having contact with other humans for a few years, and no one catching the ordinary flu for a while.... until our immune systems do not know what the flu looks like anymore, and THEN a real killer could be on the loose...

      @@sjonnieplayfull5859 Hey chief, COVID has roughly the same death rate as the Spanish Flu. It was just mostly cast aside and let to ravage everyone because the war was going on. Everyone still has contact with other humans, I don't know why you think we don't. COVID has permanent damage for those who catch it worse than others. You don't have to be super old to get deadly sick of it because the more of the virus you are in contact with, the sicker you get. It's not an on off switch. It's why masks are so helpful. It's why the people who catch it are quarantining is so helpful. It lessens the spread, and lessens the amount of the virus airborn in total is spread even to one person. Once the vaccine is administered to a mostly herd immunity rate, then we'd be back to normal relatively quickly. Hell, in the USA it's basically normal for most of the pandemic for a large chunk of the country... just with the peer pressure of wearing masks

      @@revontulet8424 are we talking about the same virus? In Europe, the total deathrate is back to what would be normal for a februari without covid. Here in the Netherlands, we have less then 70 fatalities per day, on a population of 17 million. During the Spanish flu, with 1/4 of the current population, we had single cities with that number of fatalities.
      On the other hand, Europe is in lockdown. Supermarkets are open, and online business is allowed, and that's it. Schools are closed, shops are closed, restaurants, bars, any amusement: closed. For some it is the third month, for others it is much longer. We have a curfew from 21:00 to 4:30 and only a special permit from vital jobs will allow you out of your house at night. The police are actively hunting teenagers who go out for 'illegal' parties in the woods. Just google 'illegaal feest' and you will find the news in Dutch. One tiny spot of light shines towards us: out upcomming elections can go on exactly as planned. 15 million people breathing in the same small voting booths is not dangerous at all, according to our politicians..... The same ones who 'accidently' have a large wedding with hugs at a time were the rest of the plebs can have max ten guests at a wedding, and the same politicians who go iceskating in a stadium with the althletes at a time were they themselves closed the stadium to anyone but the athletes, so yeah, those elections are safe, no doubt there.
      Group immunity? At the current rate, we need 20 years before we reach 60%.... The first succesfull mutations have occurred, so not likely group immunity will last...
      Just immagine a world where air traffic was cut for a few weeks untill we knew exactly where the virus was, and keep air traffic away from those areas.... Ask any airliner if they would accept the loss of a few weeks of income versus 70% for years....

      True, but that's not something created by humankind. Hell, it isn't technically left behind by the fossilized subjects themselves. Sounds like a nitpick, but it is true that everything fossilized today was not actively complicit in its fossilization- I don't even think we have any grand designs for that yet, today. And why wouldn't we try human-made fossilization when we have time capsules?
      It's all very special circumstances that happen to preserve things far beyond their typical threshold. Cryostasis in extremely cold environments, rapid fossilization under a sudden landslide of particular mud and clay, the infamous bugs encased in petrified amber that Michael Crichton made popular, et al; these are all natural, non-premeditated means of creating fossils.
      Thus far, humans don't have any means of preserving such fossils short of encasing something in solid tungsten. Even freezing things the way that we do now doesn't preserve the object forever- if anything, it's just a version of natural room-temperature decay slowed by the cold's effect on the speed of molecules. This also means that even in the coldest manmade environments, extreme biological organisms still exist and will feed on those frozen objects at an incredibly slow pace.
      Nature is scary, man.

Regardless of how the layers of rock are pressed, slided and broken up by natural plate motion, there would still be gigantic scars where sections were drilled through in manners whose resulting shapes cannot be explained by natural processes.

      The atmosphere of the moon has grown by 600 percent in just the last 60 years. Every planet has an atmosphere that grows. Planets produce atmospheres, this is scientific fact. Science will catch up eventually on the fact that Jupiter, Neptune and Saturn are planets with very thick atmospheres, and not just balls of gas. In fact, in the not so distant future, we will fully understand that each planet is a factory producing everything within and out. Metals, water, oxygen... oil. All products of a global factory. Imagine, this perpetual lie of fossil fuels produced by dinosaurs and ancient plant life put to rest, and our posterity laughing at us for believing such a thing. Scientist have finally started to understand that our water supply isn’t from outer space, delivered by comets, but a product produced within a living world. Most of the worlds H2O is 300-400 miles beneath our feet, not in the worlds oceans. Think this is fiction? Google search. Many of us knew it before mainstream science started catching up. Don’t be to surprised when this is all revealed by an ‘outside’ source, and he won’t be a good guy. He will know the science, but will have a black heart. Forget the last part for now and look into the rest. Understanding the planets around us as living, or dying, planetoidal bodies, is where the real science is.

    Thoughty2, I know you're talking about how long manmade stuff on Earth will last but for anyone interested, the equipment we send into deep space and onto the moon will last even longer than the plastic and likely be in much better shape in millions of years. There isn't much that can happen on the moon to destroy the equipment we've sent up there. The most likely problem would come from a direct or near hit from an asteroid but given the fact that there are probes and landers scattered on different regions of the moon, it's a safe bet that there'll be something left up there by the time the sun expands to destroy everything once and for all. After that, a trace of humanity could still come from deep space probes like Voyager 1 and 2. Theoretically, they could outlast the Earth itself as long as they don't collide with something like a star or planet but space is very empty. In 40,000 years voyager 1 is set to come close to a star Astronomically speaking but it's expected to still be well over 1 light year away from it at its closest approach.

      @jerryeberts 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Humans as we presently are have taken far longer to get here than 10 million years. At the moment, nothing in nature beyond primates is close to human-like intelligence. So maybe a chimp, bonobo, gorilla or orangutan left alone long enough could mutate & evolve larger brains & fine motor coordination of fingertips & thumb. But the path that created humans was random so there's no rules saying human-like intelligence is the necessary pinnacle of glorious Nature.
      And the only one in the Universe claiming mankind is so smart is mankind itself. Our brains are very vain. And veiny.

It was much the same right down to the idea that humanity spontaneously vanishes without explanation (as there was no mention of bodies left behind and some of the points made are counter to the idea of an evacuation (such as service animals being left behind and things that humanity wouldn't depart without doing being left undone).

    • @duudsuufd
      @duudsuufd 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not rare. The dead buried in the ground can become fossilized. Also, the seabed is full of wrecked ships. Many people have drawned and their bones are covered with sediment. We can suppose that at certain places the seabed will rise (as that has always happened) so the remains can be found in rocks.
      However, not many people have lived in the existence of the earth (some 100000's of years compared to dinosaurs who had been here millions of years) so human fossils would be rare.
      But when aliens will come visit the earth and start exploring, they will be intelligent enough to know where to dig.

      Yep where the cancer. The Earth definitely will not miss us when we're gone it's been trying to take us out for a while. And the messed up things is were smarter than this but too many people don't give a shit.
