Just subscribed! Such a great channel. It's fascinating that I can learn about the cosmos while I drift off to sleep.

With good luck and better gear to protect people from the cold, humanity may spread a few miles north of Fargo, North Dakota.

100,000 years is incredibly optimistic, isn’t it; especially, given humanity’s inherent inclination for self-destruction?

I've got very little hope we'll survive the century, so planning to be around in 100 thousand years seem like blind optimism 😂

Basing estimations on our current scientific knowledge means the answerr is...we get nowhere beyond the solar system. But in another 1,000 years with the assistance of advanced AI this may very well change. For example, Space time folding would change the whole premise discussed here

Maybe we had enough materials to be an interstellar race eventually but we already used up too much of it on wars and consumerism so we'll be stuck here forever.

Will we destroy ourselves like previous civilisations that is the question.

AI is trying so hard to convince you and itself that humans are doomed and can't leave Earth.

5 minutes in and still nothing. Rehashing how long 100000 years is. Out of here.
