0:00 In 2300, significant technological advancements are changing the world forever. For example: 0:06 1. Superhuman Powers Are Now Possible By this point, technologies like 0:12 nanotechnology, room-temperature superconductors, anti-gravity, forcefields, and programmable matter 0:19 have exponentially evolved to levels that are unimaginable to people from earlier centuries. 0:25 Some humans have already uploaded their minds to synthetic bodies that allow them to achieve 0:32 practical immortality. With the help of the most high-tech synthetic human bodies and 0:38 synthetic human brains, individuals are now capable of having powers 0:43 that would be considered superhuman and inconceivable by 21st century standards. 0:49 Depending on what technologies people have access to, they can: 0:53 • Turn themselves invisible • Morph into another person entirely 0:57 • Stretch their limbs to twice their length • And levitate from ground level to the roof 1:03 of a skyscraper in seconds 1:06 They can: • Heal a wounded 1:07 person just by touching them • Read thoughts and emotions 1:11 • Extract recent memories from peoples’ minds • And lift objects weighing thousands of tons 1:18 They can: • See through walls 1:20 • View individual atoms with the naked eye • Use telescopic vision to see 1:25 distant astronomical objects • Hear a whisper from miles away 1:30 • Determine the precise chemical composition of something just by 1:34 tasting, touching or smelling it • And they have the capability 1:38 to constantly observe everything around them because of microscopic cameras 1:43 distributed throughout their body that can view the entire electromagnetic spectrum 1:49 They can: • Sprint at lightning speed 1:51 • Survive after walking on molten lava • Never require sleep 1:56 • And survive indefinitely without food and water because their skin can absorb solar 2:02 and vibrational energy from the environment around them 2:06 2. Humanity Is A Type 1 Civilization On The Kardashev Scale 2:11 The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level 2:15 of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it’s able to use. 2:21 A Type I civilization is able to harness all of the energy on its home planet and harness 2:28 all of the energy that reaches its home planet from its neighboring star. 2:32 By 2250, virtually all of Earth's natural energy was already harnessed 2:38 or captured. Solar, wind, hydroelectric and geothermal technologies are being used 2:45 to create huge amounts of energy using vast amounts of Earth’s land, water, and atmosphere. 2:52 Fusion and antimatter are used to create vast amounts of energy. Additionally, 2:58 entirely new forms of energy production that were unknown in previous centuries are being utilized. 3:05 In Earth's orbit, there is now a comprehensive network of energy-capturing vessels. These vessels 3:12 are organized in such a way that they harvest every ounce of incoming solar 3:18 radiation being reflected back into space from Earth. Each vessel acts as a node 3:24 within a gigantic web that completely encircles the planet. An invisible shield 3:29 is formed between the nodes and it absorbs solar radiation from every corner of the globe. 3:36 Additionally, this invisible shield has the added benefit of stabilizing the 3:42 Earth's climate. This shield is able to be adjusted at certain points around the Earth 3:48 to control the amount of heat passing through from the Sun. As a result, rain can fall wherever 3:55 and whenever it is needed, while hurricanes and tornadoes can be easily controlled. 4:01 This vast amount of energy now available to humans is creating enormous wealth, 4:06 prosperity, and technological advancement. And because of this increased amount of energy along 4:13 with state-of-the-art replicator machines, almost all material needs are virtually eliminated. 4:19 From this point forward, the only way for human civilization to gain more energy 4:24 is to harvest directly from the sun and expand outward into space. 4:29 3. Teleportation Is Now Available To The Mainstream Public 4:34 When a person is using a synthetic body comprised of nanobots, they now have the ability 4:40 to transport to another location that is many miles away without traversing physical space. 4:47 This is made possible by having teleporter machines at two locations 4:52 that are wirelessly connected with each other. 4:54 Whenever a teleportation occurs, the physical arrangement of nanobots 5:00 and consciousness of a person are shared with the receiving teleportation machine. 5:06 It’s also possible to transport other physical objects as well. 5:10 However, it’s considered controversial to transport biological organisms since 5:16 transporters require the destruction of the original versions of organisms. 5:21 4. Life Has Been Found On Another Planet Because of probes equipped with antimatter 5:27 propulsion, dozens of neighboring star systems have been explored. 5:32 After surveying thousands of planets, automated probes discovered a one-celled 5:37 organism within 100 light-years of our Solar System. As expected, this lifeform 5:44 reproduces using binary fission. Its internal chemical structure is strikingly similar to 5:50 DNA. This might indicate that this form of life is quite common throughout the Universe. 5:57 The planet that it lives on contains liquid water 6:00 and its distance from its star makes it habitable for life. Its star system also 6:07 includes gas giants in the outer regions, which offer protection from incoming comets. 6:13 5. Humans Now Live In Other Star Systems Thanks to our ability to travel at near 6:20 the speed of light, interstellar travel is increasing greatly during this time. 6:26 Settlements on planets of distant star systems are inhabited by thousands of humans and machines 6:33 by now. Those star systems include: • Alpha Centauri, which is over 4 6:38 light years away • Barnard's Star, 6:40 which is about 6 light-years away • And Wolf 359, which is about 8 light-years away 6:48 Many of the space ships on these journeys are operated by beings with artificial 6:53 general intelligence or super intelligence, but a small percentage contain human pilots. 6:59 These human pilots are typically transhumans who have heavily modified bodies and brains. 7:06 In fact, their bodies might be entirely sythentic. 7:10 These humans are much better equipped to cope with long journeys than natural, non-upgraded humans. 7:18 These transhumans are also much more likely to survive in harsh environments on other planets. 7:25 Hibernation pods with connections to virtual 7:28 reality experiences are utilized for trips that last over several years. 7:34 When spaceships containing humans arrive at these distant planets, programmable matter 7:40 technology is used to construct various types of buildings on those planets relatively quickly. 7:47 And by this point, 7:48 the most distant exploratory spacecraft has reached over 50 light-years away from Earth 7:55 6. Earth Is Able To Be Protected From Asteroids Dozens of lasers are being constructed on planets 8:03 and moons throughout the solar system to stop an asteroid or comet from hitting the earth. 8:09 In many situations, humans are able to detect a potential collision from an asteroid that 8:16 is projected to happen months or even years into the future. When the lasers hit those asteroids, 8:23 they slightly change the trajectory of those asteroids 8:26 so that they have almost no possibility of hitting Earth. The earlier we can 8:31 accomplish this after detecting a potential collision, the higher the chances of success. 8:38 7. The Entire Solar System Is Being Inhabited By Humans 8:43 Earth's moon is now the most heavily populated 8:46 of all the space colonies. It has millions of permanent inhabitants. 8:51 Mars has declared its independence from Earth. 8:54 It’s heavily populated with large cities that are connected with a hyperfast, 8:59 automated rail network. A massive terraforming effort is also underway on both Mars and Venus. 9:07 The asteroid mining sector now generates the most revenues for humans in the inner 9:13 solar system. Thousands of asteroids are being mined at a time. Advances in nanotechnology 9:20 and related fields enable these asteroids to be stripped literally atom-by-atom so that nothing 9:27 goes to waste. More than several types of precious metals are harvested for use in 9:33 hi-tech industries. The largest asteroids, which are sometimes called minor planets, 9:38 are being hollowed out and their interiors are converted into enormous power plants, 9:44 research stations, and settlements for humans. 9:48 Jupiter is gaining a steady influx of prospectors comprised mostly of heavily-modified 9:54 transhumans and sentient robots. Jupiter is being siphoned for its vast supply of hydrogen 10:02 and helium. A number of floating cities and gigantic refineries are beginning to appear 10:08 in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter as well. Meanwhile, 10:13 Jupiter’s moons are being exploited for their metals, minerals, and ice. 10:18 The rings of Saturn now have luxurious hotels orbiting around them, 10:23 offering magnificent views of this massive gas giant. Guests are able to venture 10:29 outside of these hotels and drift among the slowly moving ice and rock fragments in Saturn’s rings. 10:37 Saturn’s largest moon Titan is now home to entire cities. Enceladus is another moon of Saturn, 10:45 which contains an ocean of liquid saltwater under its icy crust. It has great potential 10:52 to serve as a water source for human civilizations in the outer Solar System. 10:57 Even the distant planets of Uranus and Neptune have gas miners now and 11:02 developments there are expected to dramatically increase over the next decades and centuries. 11:09 Pluto and the Kuiper Belt are being exploited for minerals 11:14 and ice as well. The Kuiper Belt is a region of the solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune, 11:20 which contains over a trillion comets, asteroids, and other small objects made largely of ice. 11:28 Lastly, much of the Solar System is being turned into "smart" rocks, with neural networks embedded 11:35 throughout asteroids and on the surface of moons. This is allowing powerful artificial 11:40 intelligences to handle large-scale scientific experiments and automated mining operations. 11:47 8. Moore's Law Is Reaching Its Physical Limit 11:51 Today, a computing device with a weight of 2 to 3 pounds can perform calculations that 11:59 are over 40 orders of magnitude greater than the best supercomputer two centuries earlier. 12:06 That is because computer substrates are now reaching the highest 12:10 density and efficiency allowed by the laws of physics. Artificial super intelligences made 12:16 this possible by creating subatomic matrices at incredibly tiny scales. 12:22 Diamond-like materials are not being incorporated and they’re able to encode 12:27 information at over several orders of magnitude smaller than nanotechnology. 12:33 One of the major issues that prevented this level of computational power in the past 12:38 was heat management. Generating this level of computational power used to produce heat 12:44 that was equivalent to a thermonuclear explosion in the early 2000s. However, 12:50 new developments in physics eventually solved this challenge, as well as others. 12:56 9. Earth’s Ecosystems Are Being Repaired Human activity over the last couple of centuries 13:03 led to catastrophic damage to natural habitats on Earth. During that time, half of the known 13:10 species on earth went extinct as a result of pollution, climate change, deforestation, 13:17 mining, the construction of new cities, and more. 13:21 Various wars, nuclear attacks, industrial accidents, and nanotechnology experiments 13:28 also played a part in exterminating life in large parts of the world. 13:33 However, by the early 2200s, it became possible to recreate those extinct animals and plants 13:40 and bring them back to life. This involved using a combination of fossil records, DNA samples, 13:47 computer models, and molecular engineering. Once these lifeforms were grown or reproduced 13:54 in sufficient numbers, they were distributed back to their original native environments. 13:59 They’re now living as close as possible to how they lived prior to human interference. 14:05 There are now strict laws prohibiting any harm to come to them as well. 14:10 Additionally, entire deserts have been transformed back into forests with the use of artificial rain 14:18 and other forms of weather control. Toxic lakes and rivers are being cleaned. And 14:23 oceans are being de-acidified, cooled, and made habitable once again for countless sea life. 14:30 And, many decades ago, android zoos entirely replaced biological zoos 14:36 as part of an effort to treat biological animals more humanely. 14:41 Thanks for watching.
