Perhaps when racist arguments are made it makes sense to refute them. So far I haven't hurled any insults, merely called a spade a spade. :wink:

Long after we're gone everything we've built will be reclaimed by nature, it's inevitable and only a matter of time. Some things will pass much more quickly than intended though, about 988 years sooner than expected in this case.

I remember Herbert Wells Time Machine. What a terrific depiction of abandoned world! Do you read it ?
I read it when i was 8 years old . It impressed me very much. I highly recommend it. Beautifull.

That is not false, however I am sure they will welcome the United States to rejoin the efforts at any time.

As a side note: I perused the article, when I came upon the phrase, negritude, which was supposedly a form of leprosy that turned skin black, and apparently was supposed to make someone mentally challenged. The cure was turning the skin white. I couldn't help but laugh at that cretinism. :lol:

No I haven't, but I might track it down. I didn't read much fiction as a kid, except for a few Michael Crichton novels and whatever was assigned in class. I never really got into reading fiction until I was in my late teens, but I read non-fiction compulsively.

Just as I seriously hope we will, too. Trump cutting the budget meant for the sciences isn't a good sign.

But how do you know we'll be gone? I am sure human population could be greatly diminished and abandoned structures and what not would be reclaimed by nature but not so sure about all humans dying out before the planet dies. It is inevitable that someday the sun will die which will destroy this planet...and if by then there are still humans and we haven't found a new world or have adequate space travel to get there then humanity will be obliterated.

Provided there aren't humans in other parts of the universe that is...who knows.

Evolution. Humans *may* have descendants but after 4 billion years they would almost assuredly be a different species at that point, most likely one humans of today wouldn't even recognize as kin. Also of note, complex life has only existed for ~half a billion years. For humans to survive to the natural end of the Earth would mean they existed 8x as long as our current history of complex life on this planet. Also this is assuming Earth meets a natural planetary end, it's possible the planet could be knocked out of orbit, destroyed by a foreign object, or cease to support life before that point.

How optimistic we at the verge of WW3 btw... I think there are 1 maximum 3 years left. Mankind was unsuccessful experiment. Now is time to close it. But it should be grandious final ...as uverture to Tristan and Isolda by Richard Wagner...do you know what i mean... :D
