More realistically in 500 years there'll be no remaining record or understanding of what that mysterious stuff in that cave actually is, and the fact that people keep dying after going there will be put down to superstition.
- Havoc 3y agoIf we manage to forget about radiation in the next 500 years then I'd say something more serious went wrong than some glowing stuff buried somewhere in a mountain :p
- robinsonb5 3y agoWell yes, and I don't mean to bring anyone down, but I think it's incredibly optimistic to imagine our current civilisation surviving 500 years into the future! Just to be clear, I'm quite sure humans will still be here, but I think there's a good chance we'll exist in much smaller numbers, in isolated pockets. Individuals probably won't have the kind of ready access to the sum total of human knowledge that we now take for granted. I'd be amazed if any digital information from today survives even one century into the future, never mind five.
- BoxOfRain 3y agoWe'll probably build back after that too, civilisations coming and going is hardly new.
- robinsonb5 3y agoAbsolutely - 500 years is far enough ahead that it could have happened more than once!
