- 4th episode of the Halcyonic systems episode hooray
What will Earth be like in the future?
When will the world end?
How will life go extinct?
As it turns out, we have an answer to these questions. This is what Earth will look like in 1 billion years, as the last life tries to survive on a dying planet.

I bet this would negatively affect the fishing economy
Real estate, however, would become cheaper.
Yes the floor here is made of floor
Obvious
Atleast we can still eat fish bones
The mental fortitude of fishermen is proof enough to me we'll avoid it all somehow.
Don’t let the 9 year olds find out about this
So mosquitos are gone, though, right?
Sadly, they're probably still hanging around, annoying the last microscopic bacteria.
Yes
They would have gone extinct many hundreds of millions of years ago.
@@johnathanegbert9277Take a joke.
No
dune 2 promotion getting crazy
earth is pretty cool i know a guy from there
Yoooooo same
i don’t );
nah kepler 20f better i know some multicellular organisms there
Shame they had to knock it down to put in a bypass.
woah no way my parents were born there
Goes to show how incredibly rare Earth is, that it developed intelligent life in time for it to evolve technology. Given how long it took from bacteria to the Cambrian, it's easy to imagine how even a 800M year delay could have prevented civilization from ever arising resulting in no life in the solar system less than 2B years from now.
it would have also resulted in a vastly different World War 2
Once I made a little literature investigation about on how a planet could develop life if it appeared on it, and most sources found that by far, the hardest jump to make statically is from unicellular life to pluricellular life, there's a higher chance that unicellular life develops in a random habitable planet than it becoming pluricellular, because the events that lead to that took so long in our planet and are so particularly specific, that it took more than half of life's history, while bacterial life appeared almost as soon as the oceans settled.
The ‘boring billion’ makes me wonder if other life often gets stuck for a handful of billions of years in that period and dies out before it develops.
No intro, no ads, bro gets straight to the point and means business. Best channel on TH-cam by far!! Absolute legend
Dude , shut up .
So the Earth had a rough total of 5 billion years for habitability, and we’re in the final 20% of that time and are only just now reaching the space age?
That would make interstellar alien life even rarer
but think about it, it only took us about 30000 years or so to reach space. we still have 1000 MILLION years at least, provided we don't fuck up. there is however a high chance we do fuck up.
interstellar alien life must be so rare, everything must go completely right astronomically and then biologically down on the planet so the species doesnt die out. i imagine life managed to begin in many places, but it is probably EXTREMELY difficult to maintain and develop to the level it has on earth, so it probably mostly goes extinct.
think about when we got our first plane, first rocket and so on. quick advancement. and it accelarates
At the galactic pace, we'll be living on other planets in no time.
@@EzraB123 there was only 50 years from the wright brothers' first planes to the landing of moon. i completely agree with your comment
"Why dont we just take Earth and push it somewhere else"
Theres a huge scifi movie about it, the wandering earth.
Even if you did that, you can't prevent the end of tectonic activity and the geomagnetic field.
@Ricocossa1 you can delay both of those
tectonic activity will stop because of the oceans evaporating for example, so if you make the oceans stay it’ll last longer
So pretty much Super Mario Galaxy 2

“In about 1 billion years from today life on Earth will be facing an extinction”
Not me
Built different
Life on Earth will not be facing an extinction in 1 billion years All life will have already been wiped out millions and millions if not billions of years ago by then wow Wake the hell up
Talked to the ceo of extinction
nah id win
I think horseshoe crabs will still be around, completely unchanged, those guys can survive anything
Don't forget the tardigrades
All traces of life and human existence erased......
except for the lone Voyager 1, traveling through the void billions of years after leaving our Solar System and Earth's time has long passed.
And the four-ish other currently interstellar-headed probes (Voyager 2, Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, New Horizons)
@@Brite-um2tq That's true!
old girl would probably get caught in a gravity well of some space body and crash eventually
Arrakis, Dune, Desert Planet
Except worse since you can’t breathe in future Earth like you can in Arrakis
We gotta find those alien Sandworms that fart oxigen.
It's odd to think that we could change the future just by arranging an asteroid flyby to tug us gently outward, away from the Sun, by just a tiny bit every few years. Sure, we'd eventually have to move Mars, but it's not like it's doing anybody any good anyway.
An asteroid is too small for that. Also, Humanity in 1 billion years will be nothing like today. Thats 1 thousand times 1 million years. See how much technology changed in the last mere 100 years. In 1 billion years, humanity will have colonized the entire milky way and its neighbours. It will have everything at its disposal.
Humanity leaving Earth wouldnt be some grand event, it would be a few people leaving every decade or so, just because they find better opportunities, or better conditions on other planets.
An asteroid is too small for that.
Also, in 1 billion years humanity will have spread to the entire galaxy already, just look how much technology evolved in the last 100 years, and now project that on a thousand times a million years. Thats a thousand times more than the time where humanity exists.
Humanity leaving earth will not be some grand happening, it will be gradual, with people leaving simply because they think they will have a better life on other planets. This process itself would take thousands of years...
😂😂😂
If our human civilisation manages (hopefully) to survive to the point where the Sun warming up becomes a problem, we’ll probably have crazy god-level tech by then.
There's a non-neglibible chance that Earth's habitability ends before this period. Some calculations (don't have my sources at hand rn, this is from memory) point to an early end of magnetic activity due to the solidification of the outer core as soon as 500 million years from now, and a complete stop of tectonics no later than 800 million. That is if the breakup of Pangea Proxima (most likely Amasia) doesn't trigger a second Permian-level extinction event in a baseline warmer world, that could be enough to drive mammals to extinction. And even then, there's a statistically significant probability that the simultaneous eruption of several Large Igneous Provinces (Deccan traps) could push the Earth into a moist greenhouse phase. This has been proposed for Venus too, which could have been habitable as close as 710 million years ago.
tectonics stop moving around 10 bill years from now though
Well, the Earth would have been swallowed by the Sun way before then, but yeah.
@@drex6347 MIGHT have been. It's up in the air whether Earth will survive or not.
@@WinVisten True, albeit consensus is increasingly supporting the destruction of the planet
This just makes me think, that maybe on most planets there just isn't enough time or luck for intelligent/sapient life to develop. Life has likely been on earth for at least 4 out of the 4.5 billion years of the Earth's existence. We have less than 20% of the time for life on Earth left. That's still an amount of time that renders all of human civilization a blip in comparison, but one wonders if evolutionary dice had rolled slightly differently if Earth would have had any civilization at all. It's very likely that if humanity goes extinct, nothing will evolve to uncover our ruins.
Remember, one day this will come to pass and nobody will remember whether or not you shot your shot with your crush, so just do it.
Except for that time you, the person reading this specifically, tried to slide into her DMs thinking the worst she could say would be "no" and she responded with "ew" instead. The last microbes left on the dying Earth of 1 Billion AD will remember that and experience secondhand cringe without even being sentient.
Aliens will arrive and make memes about your past mistakes, sharing them among the galaxy.
You missing your shot will have such powerful vibrations throughout the psychic mass unconscious that even near the everlasting cold death of the universe, the last remnant microforms of life will feel bad
10:52 "a great place to watch the destruction of life from above"💀
I kinda want to see what kind of speculative biology may exist on Earth at this time.
probably extremely adapted to the harsh conditions
Heavy radiation shielding for sure
@@Flesh_Wizard you can't just create a magnetic field
@@CultReportmaybe life can evolve to survive without the magnetic shield given enough time I’m sure it’s possible.
@@Frizzleman multicellular life can't
It’s the mouse click after each voice recording take for me.
If "anything" is technologically possible, I would hope we teleport/move Earth/Terra to a new, younger star using either a gigantic teleporter, orbiting man-made "sun" that orbits us like the moon, or create a synthetic wormhole to and from this star
If we had the technology to do that we would probably be able to just as easily move to another habitable planet or most certainly terraform one to suit our needs
@AntedianDignitary but I keep all my stuff on the Earth
Yeah let's just move earth
@@DarkSatellite7876not even joking I think we should do that. Who knows how advanced things could be in billions of years. We could move earth to a new place to keep it safe. We will be like the forerunners from halo.
"We should take the Earth… and push it somewhere else!"
"That idea might just be crazy enough… TO GET US ALL KILLED!"
For a brief period during the Cambrian, the surface temperature was up to 30 degrees Celsius. Something tells me that if tectonic plates don’t stop, Earth could be habitable far beyond 1 billion years. I could see life better adapt to a warmer climate, especially since biology has outpaced geological and astronomical changes. Plus with water subducting under the surface, the planet’s albedo would also rise, reflecting more light. It’s a small difference but that’s all Earth needs.
Even if life could adapt to the temperature, there won't be enough CO2 for photosynthesis so complex life will probably go extinct.
OH MY GOD IM GONNA DIEE NOOOO *hyperventilates*
remember
Me at 6yo:
Humans will be gone from earth way before this. Likely
@@lionelmessisburner7393 lol I know, just imitating a young kid hearing this news
Exactly my thoughts as I imagine myself teleportet there))))
This channel is a gold mine oh my god
Considering how much humanity has to survive, in its short time on this world, I highly doubt this will mean a problem for us. we will be able to create sufficiently advanced technology to move the earth or migrate to another place. The amount of time we have is so big that I really don't think it matters if society collapses multiple times, it's just impossible for this to be a problem.
It really makes us appreciate the world we have now
This will affect the global economy
Under 9K Subscribers, but the quality of the videos are so high. Keep it up, friend!
So separating my cardboard and glass for the recycle guy isn't gonna save the planet? 🤔
This reminds me of that futurama episode “The Late Philip J. Fry” probably the best episode of anything I’ve ever seen
I agree
Futurama was something else
Funnily enough, I'm pretty sure their last stop (before the universe resets) actually was year 1 billion.
I was thinking the same thing. When everything was dead, dry, barren all around when they stopped in 1,000,000,000 A.D. in their forward moving time machine. I love that episode.
The spice is going to be potent.
Eventually humans will rediscover this earth and find spice on it. Which will fuel there ships for interstellar travel. Causing thousands of years of political strife, until the coming of the lisan al gaib.
The good news is that your Spirit Airlines flight finally arrived.
Underrated channel
cant wait for the follow up video on how to save earth
This makes me feel so insignificant. Thanks.
1 billion is 12.5 million lifetimes. It is functionally an eternity away from now.
@@Darth_Insidiouslmao
I like hearing about what will happen in the future helps me remember I am insignificant and in the end nothing matters.
I remember in Star Trek Voyager that the Voth once inhabited Earth as its homeworld until 65 Million years ago which is enough time for all traces of their Civilisation on Earth was erased by weathering, erosion and deterioration.
Like the Voth, it's possible that Mankind will leave Earth and the Solar System before the Sun gets hot enough to make Earth Uninhabitable.
It’s a tragedy that we won’t be around to succumb to these horrifying situations.
Thats tragic Aliens might not even arrive 😂😂💀
Nice. Loving the content. 👍
Re: "stops photosynthesis worldwide"
If plants don't evolve anything better than C4, it stops photosynthesis world wide. They've got 900 million years though so I'm not too worried. How were plants doing 900 million years ago? Would what was alive then thrive today?
Then I’m going back to my home planet.
kyplanet sounds like whatifalthist but sane
"Or is it?"
*vsauce music plays*
this channel is insane
This would make a sick book tho, like, a group of settlers looking for one of the last pockets of vegetation to live in or something
I didn't catch your explanation of what you called the future Earth, and i took me half the video for me to figure out that you were calling it by the name Telogia. It's a fitting name but I didn't catch it at first lol.
Bro is just casually writing Earth lore 😂 (this is cool as hell)
When humans maybe unify we could push earth and the moon into a different orbit.
I doubt humanity will survive until that point but if we do I wonder what tech we would use to migrate or save our planet somehow...
Humans didn't even exist 1 million year ago, let alone 600. That's so much time it barely matters. From our perspective time has effectively stopped
If we survive that long we'll be like Q from Star Trek and can just simply alter the gravitational constant of the universe to move the planet. Easy peasey.
@@stab74 lol that's funny. casually playing with god mode on.
@@Euler271thats probably the best way ive ever heard it described, "from our perspective time has effectively stopped". Thats a perfect way to put how tiny our time here on earth has lasted so far, and how quickly it'll go. All just a blip, not even a blip- time has basically, as you said, stopped in terms of how long geological periods have lasted on earth, and how long theyll continue to last. Crazy stuff.
Thank you for not using background music 👍
If humanity or any sentient life is still around before the Earth gets uninhabitable I am sure they might figured out how to move the planet further from the sun.
Exactly, In 66 years we go from the first plane to the Moon landing and our entire civilization has only 12 000 yes. Sentient life will have millions of years to do it sometimes about it and this entire time they will find for their survival. For sure they developed technology for the transformation of Mars, pushing away earth, or maybe even technology to make the sun younger. Who now.
@@maciejpietka1391 all of this technology you are talking about came from only a few countries, and those countries are currently in the progress of self destruction. Humanity is decreasing in quality, and scientific progress is actually slowing down. Because advanced nations are currently shooting themselves in the foot by catering to 3rd world savagery, humanity will die with this planet and never leave the solar system, much less “move the planet to a better spot” which would itself be suicidal anyway because it just pushes earth in to the asteroid belt or in the orbit of another planet
So we have 4 billion years of water and in 1 billion years it’s just gone?
yes
it’s an exponential process, once the oceans begin evaporating it’ll heat up the planet, which will trigger more evaporation, which will heat up the planet more, in a runaway effect that will ruin everything in a relatively short amount of time
Yeh
Aging's a bitch, even for planets
This video is what sent Desmond over the edge
This is a great video! When will the new colozing the solar system
i’ve ended the colonization of the solar system series, it wasn’t realistic enough for me and i stopped being motivated to make it
but i am redoing the whole series and will eventually make a new version
@@Kyplanet893 ok
Subscribed
I can’t wait
Good video, matches what I've read elsewhere. Looking forward to the solutions - my guess it involves pushing Earth into a higher orbit to keep solar radiance the same?
There's really 3 possibilities regarding humans:
1. We diversify into clades as broad and long lasting as things like the chordates, the insects, the gymnosperms, etc.
2. We cause some untold catastrophic apocalypse that takes out everything macroscopic and dependent on sunlight, with every ecosystem virtually annihilated and life taking like 100 million years to recover, with familiar, broad clades of life like, e.g. amniotes going completely extinct.
3. Humans encounter an extinction threat that is *uniquely bad for humans* and cannot or choose not to solve it. Something that can't be avoided, targets K-selected, long-lived, large-bodied, warm-blooded tool-using animals that live in complex social groups and adapt through culture transmission. Like maybe an ultra-lethal pathogen that is completely environmentally stable, extremely infectious, totally incurable, is always transmitted from parent to child, replicates in cereal grains, is subject to extreme zoonosis, but has a decade long incubation period making it almost harmless to most wildlife.
Another human extinction scenario that leaves the biosphere intact would be anything transmitted through culture or economics. It should be pretty much incapable of affecting other species besides maybe cetaceans, primates, etc.
The scale of time being discussed is so large that humanity will have vanished, and no one may have any idea we were ever here.
Human civilization goes back only a handful of millennia, and even with that the pace of change is such that our technology reworks the face of the planet in less than 200 years. We have no idea what things will be like in a couple of thousand years, much less hundreds of thousands, or millions, or a billion.
I'd wager that humans as we recognize them will be gone in less than another thousand years, due to genetic engineering and/or biological augmentation. After that, it's anybody's guess what Earth's human successors will be like. By one million years from now, they may not even be corporeal. Or they may be extinct.
Which will the last the longest. Insects, mites or nematodes?
Accurate video, you counted multiple sources that are interesting (Wikipedia is accurate too). You talk about physical climate examples and facts that can be true.
I think this should come in 1.4 billion years, tectonic will freeze at this moment.
You should talk about mars too in the future (5B or 2B)
Sad to know that eventually our beloved Earth will one day die
This is pretty depressing but at least I won't live long enough to see enough.
0:49 "Hey, Vsauce. Michael here."
In one Billion years, humanity would have long ago evolved and left Earth, eons earlier.
Unfortunately me and everyone who's currently living in present day wouldn't be around for that long to move planets. Maybe people born billions of years later will experience that.
I seriously doubt that. Look at all the stupid shit we quibble over right now, look how badly tech has plateaued. AI is the only big new stride in tech we’ve had in decades. I think humanity’d rather drag everyone who’d dare try setting up civilizations on other planets back down.
I think extinction is the far more plausible scenario tbh.
An eon IS a billion years
Ironic that *low* CO2 will be the hammer!
You have discovered why the “muh emissions” movement paihed by elites is fundamentally wrong and evil
and i'm sitting here wondering what continental drift will look like after Pangea Proxima breaks up
No Water
how the fuck did i just find you bro
Yes Water
Guys, this person said "No water" because Earth will no longer have water in 1.3 billion years at minimum. Give or take. Just because there's water on the planet now doesn't mean that'll be the case in the future.
OMG YOURE THE SAME PERSON WHO COMMENTED ON THOSE TERRARIA VIDEOS WHAT ARE THE ODDS????
Well, at least the cameraman still survived!
Yup that's gore of my comfort character
I hope by the time earth gets like this humans(or whatever they evolved into) make technology advanced enough to go interstellar or aleast go star systems away as fast as it would to go to mars.
Scientific progress is slowing down, advanced nations are surrendering themselves to 3rd world savages instead of prioritizing progress in to a better future. Humanity has pretty much already destroyed its chances of going interstellar by sacrificing the best of our species in favor of the worst. Humanity will die with this planet
Very depressing to think, everything we (and I mean everything that ever lived) know just gone like it never existed:(
dont worry there’s an infinite life glitch if the sun moves further mars and the gas giants moons and Pluto will be habitable😎
yeah probably not
The thought of earth being this shimmering hardpan, with only stretches of dried salt and the occasional bits of long fallen human constructs breaking up the endless desert, brings me an odd kind of peace
Wouldn't the human constructs have fallen to complete nothingness hundreds of millions of years before?
@@Brite-um2tqYeah, most of the stuff we build today isn't going to last more than a few centuries.
Big bulky stuff like the pyramids and dams will last longer but on this sort of time scale erosion will do them in.
So earth is 4.5 billion years old and has only 1 billion left. We’re in the end game now
How dreamy
So Earth will basically become Mars today.
it’ll have a way denser atmosphere and be a lot hotter than mars, but it’s somewhat similar
@@Kyplanet893 On Mars "It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere".
More like venus
The thing that scary is that all that is above becomes matter becomes power. Then we find a planet that is identical to earth, then we find that it's a mirror and we are trapped in about 1600 with no fuel, and nothing but to mirror this identical existence. I don't think that it another planet. I think it more with self ❤❤
The only thing better for the economy than extinction is eternal suffering.
So, Arrakis? 👀
6:34 Others: 4 carbon cup Photosynthesis
Me: MIDDLE C PHOTOSYNTHESIS
I doubt there will be any complicated life at this point
Make a video about Earth in 3-4 billion years when it becomes like Venus
I don't think he'll be alive to make a video by then.
@@meerkat5818 why not
this reminds me of the time when i left the oven on
I bet there might be a giant solar sail that could push Earth a bit into Mars' orbit
Organic life needs hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen sources, an energy source, a non-HCNO nutrient source, and a solvent (read: "liquid water." to live).
A fully aerial closed loop biosphere has no great nutrient source. This is why primary productivity is so low in the middle of a deep ocean. There's abundant water, CO2, and energy but nothing to do with it without other vital nutrients.
Cockroachs and crocodiles/ alligators would probably be still around
Don’t worry guys I’ll just push the sun further away from us 👍
Kick it ita a soccer ball
Why it get colder and increase the spa price
3:20 Team Magma decisive victory
I would call Earth during this period a "Postgaian" planet. I already explained what I meant the last time I mentioned this, but I felt mentioning it again here would be more relevant since this video's topic is what I was actually referring to.,
Me when I find a creature from the far future living underground to escape radiation: Hello little guy
Just gotta figure out how to move Earth away from the sun into the new goldilocks zone.
I like your videos. They’re well made and informative. But I’d like to see one with a positive outlook about humanity surviving. Maybe colonization of a nearby moon or planet?
i do have a lot of videos about space colonization already (playlist is linked at the end of this video) and i’m going to make more soon
Thanks. 🙏
Best comment section on youtube
Seafront property is going to be expensive, better to secure your North Pole land now
How are we sure tectonic activity will be gone in 1 billion years from now? It's been going on for at least 4, have we used 80% of the tectonic lifespan by now?
the evaporation of the oceans will basically doom tectonic activity
water from the oceans is subducted into the mantle, which makes it more fluid and allows the tectonic plates to move
as soon as the oceans begin evaporating that whole process will end
Woundnt earth internally freeze over (loss of plate tectonics, magnetic field, being geologically dead) long after the death of the sun?
Maybe before this happens Mars may be suitable for humans.
