When we have exhausted all non-renewable resources, as the recycling phase is not or little respected, we will be forced to live with what remains, the same for the concreting and asphalting surfaces, we will talk about in a couple of centuries .


Assuming From a hyper-technological phase the concept of resource depletion will have little meaning.
A company that would control thermonuclear fusion and NBIC would soon develop technologies able to overcome the classic mining peak including the exploitation of non-recovered waste (landfills), or by the extraction ever more distant new resources, see the transmutation of matter, the innovation has little limit ...

With the ever more precise discoveries of science, we know much more today than there are 50 years.

We should already be able to maintain 150 millions of degrees more than one second. No current technology is able to withstand the magnetic field necessary for the confinement of magma. Another project that will prove to be a very useless financial pit.

Liquid fission has been mastered for a long time and would make it possible to pass the difficult course of climate change by greatly reducing the emission of CO2.
Associated with the "4 per thousand" project would allow a rapid return to climate stabilization. http://agriculture.gouv.fr/4-pour-1000- ... les-sols-0 .
But common sense is not of this world :frown:

But that's the essence of my thought and I provide the sources, which you should do too, to support your extraordinary claims. You will notice that my sources do not date from Methuselah : Mrgreen:

Hello,
very surprised by this initiative and especially its physical feasibility, I allowed myself to make it a question in the thread "vegetable garden of the lazy".

I find that 200 millions of years is a lot of the scale of current references in this field: if my recollections are correct, hominids would have appeared 2 million years ago; one of the last representative of this long line, the man of Neanderthal, lived during 300.000 years (which is not so bad!) and his successor, homo Sapiens lives since only 200.000 years. I conclude that this duration of 200 millions of years is much more than enough for (perhaps) significant changes to satisfy the fictional vein of a science-fiction author. .
I am not a connoisseur in this field, but it seems to me the SF is declined on two very different axes: the one, that I know better, is a kind of device to better describe what is in germ in the society contemporary by projecting its evolution into a foreign temporal framework in order to better highlight the dangers ordinarily invisible, because hidden under the appearances of everyday banal (With its history of Turks, Voltaire chooses a spatial framework, but the approach remains the same), the other is to offer the author the opportunity to deploy his imagination without constraints. In the latter case, he often finds it very difficult to truly separate himself from his cultural environment, if we ignore the strangeness of the details.

That's a lot ... too much, as the Roger Bonnet et Lodewijk WOLTJER in their work:Can humanity survive 1000 centuries? about the time already done by Homo Sapiens.
The conference can be viewed on Canal U:
https://www.canal-u.tv/video/cerimes/l_humanite_peut_elle_survivre_1000_siecles.9242

I would say even less: can humanity survive another century? :|


Ps: did you read my post about economics / technology further upstream?

Not his successor, it was 2 distinct species that crossed in Europe. By the way they made talk about them these days https://www.francetvinfo.fr/sante/decou ... 26898.html

It did not concern you. I wanted to say that research evolving quickly, I prefer to be interested in the latest news. :?

Yes, the term successor is a shortcut, the two species coexisted a good time and probably some Neanderthals have arranged to perpetuate themselves through homo sapiens ...
