What If Everyone Froze for 1,000 Years?

[Robert59]

Rise and shine! You've been asleep for 1,000 years! And the view outside is not how you remembered it. Trees, wildlife, fresh air, fresh water. Oh, right.

Very interesting Robert, I never really thought about this kind of hypothetical situation.

 

[old medic]

Ever watch the series "Life after Humans" ?

 

[Mr. Ed]

I’m not so ambitious to preserve my life as I know it to be.

 

[Kathleen’s Place]

And I wouldn’t be ambitious to preserve my body, ever! Interesting read, but YUCK!!!! Sooo
Not for me!

 

[Aunt Marg]

Definitely not for me.

Well, since we humans do what we do, just as any other living creature does what they do, I suspect that when we are all thawed again in 1,000 years, we will just do what we do and the world will again become like it is now. What would make us think it would be any different? I never understood the surprise when a circus lion trainer occasionally got mauled by the animals s/he was training. They simply do what they, and why should we expect any different from ourselves? If that were not so, we wouldn't need to hope/believe things will be better in 1,000 years because things would be that way now.

Absolutely.

Stephen Hawking summed it up best for me... "humankind is greedy, stupid, and the greatest threat to earth".

Mother nature would love it..WE are the worst danger to the earth...
Pull the plug

A fantasy video that has so many flaws it's impossible to think about 8 billion people being brought back to life after 1000 years.

500 people to volunteer to die while maintaining the system that will keep others alive. Yeah right!

The video claims infratructure collapses allowing nature to reset. Collapsed infrastructure means the power & ongoing repair to the equipment needed goes away.

Then sex & reproduction will have to happen. What's to prevent those multiplying to decide that they want nature to reset & awakening 8 billion people will destroy the world again. Since the chambers are sealed why not just let them all expire?

Last is what if a virus completely unknown happens & those 500 have no way to figure out a cure & they all die?

The video is a fantasy based on the hope mankind will begin to understand planet earth has only so much in the way resources that can sustain what is happening now.

 

[Robert59]

Who would want to live for 1000 years when all your close family and friends is dead. I guest you would make new friends.

 

[tbeltrans]

Absolutely.
