Well I do, unless we've killed ourselves by then.

Maybe this is a very egotistical theory, thinkin that we are the smartest beings in the ENTIRE universe, because it is a big universe. But looking at how far humans have progressed in the last 1000 years (1000 years ago they didn't even know that the Earth revolved around the Sun!) and even in the last 100-200 years the invention of electricity, the internet, Tv's, cell phones, cars/airplanes/space shuttles, modern medicines, cloning, nuclear weapons etc. I can't help but think that we will have conquered the universe by then.

Or maybe I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off.

Your thoughts...

I hope not. I'm sick of the fact that we've conquered earth.

When we conquer crap we end up destroying it.

Yeah, the Earth was once (and I believe was intended to be) a paradise - look at it now...

I hightly doubt humans will ever conquer the universe. At most, we will colonize the Solar System. Then, humanity will either be destroyed when an intergalactic war breaks out, or when the sun explodes.

Hell by 2064 I'd be saying to my grandkids, "Back in my day we had to use a device called a toilet, not like your Crap-O-Tron 3000 you fellers got!"

Hyuga would be like, "Back in my day I had 10,000 freakin visits, what did I get, only a conflabbin skilled warrior rank!"

umm.....by "conquer" do you mean that we will be able to travel through the entire universe? I guess I just don't understand what there is to conquer.

Who knows. I don't really care either. By then we won't have any affect towards it, and people might be leading completly different lives then...Then again human kind could end up not changing much at all.

Personally, I hope the human race is extinct by the year 3000. I believe humanity is the cruelest mistake of evolution, and in the war between nature and mankind's mixture of progress and stupidity, I'll be rooting for nature.

Remember the scene in The Matrix where Smith is telling Morpheus how humans are viruses? I think, in a way, he's right. The only chance for survival this planet has is is humans become extinct. Check out this site to find out how you can help: http://www.vhemt.org

i predict an economic downturn within 20 years, and slowely over the next 50 a possible rebirth of comunism in south america and asia, and some type of major war to break out by some type of dictator.

by 3000 there would of been multiple nuke wars, biological war will have wiped out large populations of ppl, and so forth.

aids will continue to grow because ppl are jerks and cant keep it in there pants, or legs closed.

i predict that some jerk will get the idea to nuke or bio attack omeone, causing the worlds food supply to dry up, causing starvation amond 3rd world dumbs, and dictators or governments in charge of those dumbs blaiming which ever country that has food supplies as the cause of the problem instead of there own incompatent policies which ensentailly caused there economies to be run to the ground linking to the break down of agriculture int those very same nations. some ppl wornt buy it and the leaders tobbled, but others will be forced into submention or fall for mass propaganda programs.

i also see loss of freedom to many of the free ppl by comunist or dictatorships bent on destroying the free world to preserve there own gorverments (North Korea, China)

but those countrie will have uprisings by there own ppl to set of a chain reaction if that senario comes true.

by 3000 i dont expect much, loss of sciences and medical technology, so forth.

then things will be re-built, and then the process starts over gain.

o yea, all the worlds resources will run out by 3000 and essentailly rely on re-cycled goods, and so forth.

on a plus side asteroids could be harvested for raw matterials if the technology is allowed to flurish, (cough NASA cough)
Eventually I think we will have other planets to live on. And Space travel will be common.

Maybe have space ships like in star treck.

Maybe the space ships will even be built in space.

All in due time. smile

Nah, we will have exhausted the earth and consumed ourselves right out of supply of any resources/food, or we will have destroyed each other, one or the other. No way we'll last until 3000. I mean, there may be survivors, but the reset button will have been hit on any space travel.

I doubt it, by 3000, I bet humanity might be on it's last legs, but why should we care, unless anyone here is Immortal and will be there, I don't see why anyone would care what's going 1000, or 2000 years from now. If aliens really exist, which I doubt, then they might stop such a thing from happening. Maybe the universe will be like Star Trek or Star Wars by then. But again, by the rate at which we are fuckin' this planet up, Humanity will be lucky to reach 3000.
