What if there was no one in this world suddenly?
In the long history of human beings, according to archaeology, it was discovered that human beings first appeared about 150,000 years ago, but the earliest human remains we know appeared 10,000 years ago (Catha Mound). Have you ever been curious about what did human beings do during that period of more than 100,000 years? Why are there no trace of evolution? In fact, experts call this gap period of more than 100,000 years MISSING LINK.
Friends who like ancient history may know that the Su-Mei civilization began about 6,500 years ago. From the Su-Mei civilization to the present, human civilization has developed into what it is today. Inferred from this, for the blank more than 100,000 years, perhaps human beings have developed N times! In the past tens of thousands of years, different civilizations and different human beings have been replaced and extinct for countless times, and what we see now is only the most recent one.
Someone may ask, since it has existed, there must be evidence of existence, right? For example, high-tech aircraft, construction, etc., why do you leave something behind! If there is nothing, how can people believe that there has been a high degree of civilization?
In fact, nature is the most easily forgotten "unfaithful man". Next, let's take a look at how it quickly forgets civilization!
Humans disappear for a few hours
The entire earth will have power outages, and all power plants and power generation devices will stop operating. Although many high-techs seem to be unmanned now, in fact, they still require human maintenance to operate. The first one to stop working is the nuclear power plant with the highest safety factor. Because of the lack of human maintenance, the temperature of the furnace center will continue to rise and eventually explode.
Next, the thermal power plant is stopped, because it requires humans to fill fuel, and then there is a hydropower plant that requires human supervision. Then there are wind and solar energy, all of which will stop working due to the lack of human supervision, so the electricity on the earth will disappear immediately.
Two days after humans disappeared
Our society has entered a stage of rapid development, with all kinds of underground drilling, such as large underground shopping malls, subways, etc. They can operate normally now by a 24-hour drainage system. Then when the power disappears, these drainage systems will naturally not operate again. This will not take too long, and the underground will be filled with various water.
The tenth day of human disappearance
Supermarkets, shopping malls, and homes will all begin to rot, and the pets raised in humans will starve to death one after another. Assuming they can escape outside, then dogs are definitely one of the first animals to starve to death, because dogs have lost their hunting nature under human captivity for a long time. Cats are different from dogs. As we all know, they still retain moderate wildness in the bones of cats. They are different from dogs. They can prey on animals at the bottom of the food chain like rats when food chains are out of stock. Without humans, there will be no human garbage. Those animals that rely on human garbage will gradually die.
A month after humans disappeared
The large power supply equipment mentioned above, such as nuclear power plants, will explode due to the high temperature of the furnace center, and the nuclear explosion will bring huge nuclear pollution . The surrounding animals and plants begin to die one after another. The earth is polluted by large areas of radiation, and nature will enter the initial stage of self-healing.
After humans disappear,
The sky and the earth have been scrapped, and it is time for the turn of the sky to go. We all know that human outer space satellites can orbit the earth by relying on the pushing devices they carry themselves. After these pushing devices stop running, the satellite will fly closer to the earth due to the gravity of the earth. In the end, more than 4,500 satellites launched by humans will fall into the atmosphere, forming a wave of artificial meteor shower .
At the same time, non-artificial populations begin to expand, and plants will penetrate cement pavements, houses and other artificial settings to grow wildly. They can overturn everything with wind, soil and sunshine. Human buildings will collapse due to their expansion day after day.
Thirty years after humans disappeared
The entire earth has changed from a new forest, but the forest is mixed with some reinforced concrete buildings . From these buildings, you will see dilapidated high-rise buildings. Careful people will find that the first thing that breaks out in disrepair is glass. In fact, this is because in our buildings, glass is fixed with other seals. Over time, these seals will deteriorate and rupture, and the glass will also break. Just break a piece, and other glasses will break one after another due to unbalanced wind pressure inside and outside. The combustible materials in the house will be exposed. When encountering natural weather such as thunder and rain, fires will occur in such abandoned buildings. At this time, the lightning rod that has long been rusted will not play any role.
, even if it is burned, it will not affect the prosperity of the forest. Herbivores will appear in the forest, and then carnivores will be attracted. For example, Russia's Chernobyl has suffered a serious nuclear leakage in April 1986 and 300,000 people have evacuated at a rapid speed. Officials no longer allow anyone to live there. Everyone thinks that it will become hell, but we can know from relevant reports that it has become a paradise for animals and plants.
only part of the plants with strong vitality were damaged, and then they entered a rapid recovery period. The wild animals are much more resistant to radiation than humans. They can survive there continuously. According to statistics, the number of animals and plants there is more than 10 times that of human residential areas. Japanese TV station has reported on this area. Under their camera, Chernobyl has obviously returned to what it was before human civilization.
Fifty years after humans disappear
At this time, all the wood built by humans will disappear. For example, independent wooden houses like the United States and Japan may not even be able to find the foundation in 50 years. It is not only the wind, sun, flowers, plants and trees that kill them, but the army of termites may be the protagonist of this matter.
A hundred years after humans disappeared,
The existing magnificent human buildings, such as tall buildings, bridges, dams, towers and tunnels, etc., which seem to be amazing, will collapse due to years of disrepair.
A thousand years after humans disappeared
No matter how solid and solid human buildings are, they will be damaged due to weathering. Nowadays, human beings have invested a lot of mental and material resources to protect their existing knowledge and heritage. For example, there is a place called " Getty Center " in the United States. This place actually belongs to the Getty Museum, which stores many important historical materials from mankind so far. Not only are there treasures of calligraphy and painting, but also paper and film. The temperature there is moderate all year round, so that the items that stay there can extend their own lifespan.
However, this museum will also lose its ability to protect all data after the power is cut off. So far, all the media that humans can store data will not last more than a hundred years, unless humans also carve data on stone slabs, and these stone slabs must be natural stones, which are better if they are granite .
According to this theory, it is very likely that the ancient civilizations before may not have no other storage methods, but the only words on the stone slabs can be saved to the present.
Assuming that the words we know of stone slabs are really left by Sumei or Ancient Egyptian , then they may already know that only the words recorded on the stone slabs will never be corrupt for thousands of years. Just as if we humans are about to disappear, we may also choose to record important information on the stone slabs to prove that we have existed. Maybe this stone carving method is the only way to record the extinction of humans.
Some people speculate that humans do not record information on stones at present because they do not have a special understanding of stones. Humans do not know how to record a large amount of data on a stone, but Microsoft and IBM have now tried to conduct recording experiments on glass (silica).
Some people also say that the huge stone buildings we see now are some storage devices. Perhaps if they are placed directly in some devices, a large amount of data information will be read out, but our current opening method is not very correct.
100 years after humans disappeared
Everything is restored to the appearance of human civilization not participating in any construction. The earth will be divided into tropical rainforest , Antarctic or desert and other natural landforms. Perhaps when the next civilization arrives, what remains on the earth will still be pyramids and sphinxes. As for whether the United States' President Statue Mountain can be kept, it depends on its luck.
When chatting here, someone may immediately think of an artificial object, which will not be degraded and differentiated, and will be seen everywhere. That's right, you're right. It's the plastic bag we come into contact with every day. According to experts, plastic bags are extremely corrosion-resistant and even bacteria are too lazy to get close to it. So far, they can only be treated by combustion. If there were similar objects in the past civilization, it must not be degraded, but was dismantled into small pieces by nature and invisible.
So the question is, should we leave some of this kind of object to prove the existence of this civilization? What do you think? Welcome to follow and leave comments, see you next time!
