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.

Arakkis is future earth
@@djw7141that would be interesting, but Arakkis is in a whole different star system, while Earth in the Dune universe is pretty irrelevant
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.

@@TayWoode My 8 year old me could have used that advice. 38 years old me is long since over this fear anyways :)
A billion years from now, Earth will be a vastly different place. The most significant change will be the increasing luminosity of the sun. As it enters the red giant phase, the sun will expel more heat, causing Earth's oceans to evaporate and its surface to become a barren wasteland.
Here's a glimpse of what Earth might look like in a billion years:
* A scorching desert: With the lack of greenhouse gases and a faint sun, Earth's surface will be extremely cold and dry. Most of the planet's water will have evaporated into space.
* A silent landscape: Life as we know it will likely be extinct. The intense radiation and lack of water will make it impossible for most organisms to survive.
* A geological oddity: Plate tectonics will have ground to a halt, locking the continents in place and creating a geologically unchanging world.
It's important to remember that this is just one possible scenario. The future of Earth is uncertain, and there are many factors that could influence its fate. But one thing is for sure: Earth will be a very different place in a billion years.

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 got stuck for a few billion years in that period and died out before it developed
@@douglastakle8242 Possibly what happened on Mars.
You think so because you believing in randomly events.
You really think that it was all coincidence that we humans now live on earth ?
Earth is in perfect spot in the galaxy, earth is in the perfect spot in the solar system even the planet constellation „safe“ earth.
We have one moon with just the right size.
Our planet formed perfectly and everything else just happened right that we now, have a habitable planet with right atmosphere, live and temperature.
With a species which now can think about all that. You think it’s all coincidental

“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
"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
Squidward: "that idea might just might be.......... Get us all killed !"
earth is pretty cool i know a guy from there
Yoooooo same

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
I think horseshoe crabs will still be around, completely unchanged, those guys can survive anything
Don't forget the tardigrades
Someone's been reading Robert Silverberg.
I bet humans became crabs
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
Oh come now you pessimist. How could you be so alarmist. You're going to scare all the leftist idiots out there
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
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.
You're absolutely right. The vast timescales of planetary evolution and the delicate balance required for complex life to emerge do make it seem like the development of intelligent life might be a rare occurrence in the universe. Even on Earth, with conditions seemingly favorable for life, the emergence of intelligence took billions of years and a series of fortunate events.
The limited window of opportunity for life on a planet, as you mentioned with Earth's sun reaching its red giant phase, adds another layer of challenge. It's possible that on many planets, intelligent life simply doesn't have enough time to evolve before conditions become unsuitable.
The idea that our existence might be a unique blip in Earth's history is a humbling thought. It underscores the importance of cherishing the time we have and using our intelligence to make the most of it. Who knows, perhaps our technological advancements will one day allow us to overcome these environmental limitations and extend the possibility of life on Earth, or even explore and find new homes in the universe.
@@spc3461 chat gpt ahh comment
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.
@@vanillaboy4514 hopefully not, there no such thing as god level tech, too much movies

@@lionelmessisburner7393 lol I know, just imitating a young kid hearing this news
Exactly my thoughts as I imagine myself teleportet there))))
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.
You forget one important thing, the sun's luminosity will increase enough to end all carbon life forms period, Mars is starting to look good ha 🤣
This channel is a gold mine oh my god
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
The spice is going to be potent.
The spice must flow!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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? 🤔
More than that, closer to the heat death of the Universe nothing will matter at all - all information about humans that we ever existed, did something, were enjoying, suffering, celebrating, accomplishing things, etc. will be erased. The universe will be one big cold place with no stars left. Modern physics tell us that there's no surviving that, though I hope that looking more into the nature of existence will give humanity information on how to escape the death of this universe.
@@ildar5184 lol keep dreaming

@@Darth_Insidiouslmao
dont worry you always were
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
@@StarWarsSatellitenot 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!"
I like hearing about what will happen in the future helps me remember I am insignificant and in the end nothing matters.
It really makes us appreciate the world we have now
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
The 10 tardigrades chilling on the surface
cant wait for the follow up video on how to save earth
The good news is that your Spirit Airlines flight finally arrived.
Wait sir this isn't even the correct location
I appreciate how you coin new terms, like the potential name for this global land surface.
Normies look at you like you're a madman when you do it, and midwits, because the new terminology does not come from an established name, cannot even comprehend that this is genuinely how a scientific or philosophical discussion is genuinely advanced.
This will affect the global economy
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.
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.
kyplanet sounds like whatifalthist but sane
Yup that's gore of my comfort character
All the comments here are great but this is the first one to make me audibly laugh.
That's kinda fucked that we're probably already more than 4/5ths throughout life's existence on Earth, like... the majority of the timeline from the spark of life until it's wiped out is behind us.
With extinction level asteroid impacts occurring roughly every 60million years humanity will have far more immediate concerns than this.
Bro is just casually writing Earth lore 😂 (this is cool as hell)
So Elon is right. We need to develop interstellar travel to escape ultimate extinction. We should get started. We only have a billion years to figure it out.
We already are developed the rockets that can launch, land and launch again.
It’s refining them, making them bigger, along with creating ways to maintain ecosystems on ships is what we need to learn.
Hell we already have the tech to colonize Mars we just haven’t done anything to the scale to test if we can do it.
School principals: u will be coming to school on Monday still
Great, there goes my plans for 1.2 billion years from now.
The sun is middle aged: and one million years is more than any human can understand.
Assuming humanity will be around in one billion years is arrogant as hell. Infact it’s more likely that if we are here we won’t look like humans anymore. We’ve barely been here for five million years .
i meant the descendants of humanity
as in there will still be some form of life around then that can trace its origins back to modern day humanity, i never said modern humans would still be around
i’m pretty sure i said that in the video
edit: yeah i said this at 1:37
It’s a tragedy that we won’t be around to succumb to these horrifying situations.
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?
Underrated channel
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
It's a harsh reality, indeed. If a human went this far into the future and saw Earth, they probably wouldn't even recognize it. Maybe they'd mistake it for Venus unless they see the Moon. But the solar system will become unrecognizable to the person as time passes.
Earth here looks like a cross between Venus and Mars.
It's strongly suggested that plate tectonics will last a very long time, more than the lifespan of the sun.
By the year 4000, we need to have the Human Galactic Empire established.
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.
this channel is insane
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
It's pretty easy. Just nudge an asteroid into a (long) series of Earth and Jupiter flybys. You rob a little of Jupiter's orbital energy, and transfer it to Earth. The only caveat is that with an asteroid small enough to be easily moved, this process will take literal millions of years.
Plot twist: the sun makes an infinite force field around the solar system making it last FOREVER, and the sun doesn’t get hotter, meaning life forever on earth
Let's survive a quite possible thermonuclear war first.
Hearing you click throughout the video like it's a powerpoint presentation is really funny ngl
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
If humans are still around in a billion years, Earth will be a holy museum
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.

No 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.

Unfortunately, humans won't be able to survive the Sun's red giant phase on Earth. The scorching temperatures and intense radiation will make Earth uninhabitable. However, this is billions of years into the future, so there's plenty of time for scientific advancements that could potentially allow us to find a new home or develop technologies to shield Earth.
Shielding Earth is pointless as it will eventually be eaten by the Sun.
Unless we find a way to literally move the Earth our future is in spaceships with artificial biospheres.
Even then it’d take a long time to move the Earth. Combined with energy costs and time it might be too late.

A World Out of Time is a science fiction novel by Larry Niven and published in 1976. It is set outside the Known Space universe of many of Niven's stories. In that story the Earth was moved into orbit around Jupiter. All we need is a gravitational tug (!).

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
While a billion years is obviously a very long time, geologically speaking the finish line is on the horizon
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
Nice. Loving the content. 👍
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
When the moon yeets out, Earth's axis will spin like a toy top.
I can’t wait
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
In a billion years' time I expect us to be able to teleport the entire planet, plus the moon, to another star system to replicate today's conditions perfectly. In fact, I expect us to be able to do that in half the time 🤘
