A permanent Mars colony will be established, and nanotechnology will create self-cleaning fabrics using the lotus effect.
Fossil fuels will be eliminated, and picotechnology will manipulate individual atoms, leading to advanced supercomputers.
Medical advances will extend lifespans by decades, with 3D-printed organs and gene editing becoming routine.
Artificial organs, bionic eyes, and intelligence-enhancing implants will become common.
A space elevator will be built using diamond nano threads, and polar bears may be brought back via de-extinction.
Ice sheets will melt, making today's Alaska or Iceland unrecognizable, with new towns built on Antarctic soil.
Wind turbines will control weather, and over 80% of the Amazon will be destroyed, leading to massive species loss.
Only three languages will remain: English, Mandarin, and Spanish.
Humans will incorporate chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and mind uploading will be perfected, creating a divide between enhanced and non-enhanced humans.

[00:00] The ability to control the weather. These are just a few of Hop in our time machine
[00:13] decade by decade of technology, space exploration and more.
[00:25] In just the next ten years, progress in terms of space travel. will be sending humans to the moon.
[00:38] but soon after that, SpaceX allowing humans about getting to Mars, well,
[00:51] Stick around and we'll tell you when. in this time frame? pancreatic cancer with a new vaccine.
[01:03] the same technology The first step to fighting this prevent it from coming back.
[01:16] to produce protective T-cells. any new cancer cells and wipe them out. humans will still be facing
[01:28] One casualty of our climate a city of 10 million people. loamy ground is sinking lower and lower,
[01:41] The pumping of groundwater time, global warming This beautiful city will see a terrible
[01:53] within the next decade. would be below sea Maybe a barrier at the mouth of the Chao
[02:06] flooding can't be held off forever. They'll see a big shift on the roads. on their promise to dominate
[02:19] they'll probably be tied bucks a month for car flicks. it'll be kind of like a hobby,
[02:32] Speaking of subscription it could all be going digital. Yeah. where cash is as ancient as the dinosaurs
[02:45] And we believe this shift cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Bitcoin mining is notorious
[02:58] which could make our But luckily for us, one Gryphon Digital Mining.
[03:12] superheroes of the Bitcoin world. bitcoin miner footprint drastically.
[03:25] technology to achieve high efficiency They were the first to publish and they're one of the
[03:38] for Bitcoin certification. So as we move into this digital age, our digital currency
[03:53] a little ahead of ourselves. and let's head over to the next decade. 2035 to 2044.
[04:08] exploration is progressing. Saturn's largest moon on another moon and plunge
[04:20] By studying Titan, about how life began on Earth. which could contain the building blocks
[04:33] It also has dunes that are rich in carbon we might find out there? when we finally have a crew of humans
[04:48] how to deal and we'll find solutions we previously thought weren't doable.
[05:00] and how to produce oxygen of having fresh food pressurized,
[05:14] to live on the Red planet. in our exploration of other worlds, too, to handle here on Earth.
[05:27] will be 1.5Β°C warmer. and those cute koalas in Australia Extreme heat waves
[05:41] hurricane winds are breaking Category six hurricanes, per second,
[05:54] We've only seen five of these they'll hit the Gulf Coast cities out of the coastal cities.
[06:07] Goodbye, Houston, Galveston, Baton Rouge. Our demographics will be shifting, too. population in the US.
[06:22] Well, you're in good company. a good nor a bad thing for society. 2045 to 2054
[06:36] between 2045 and 2055, temperatures above pre-industrial levels. This will have important consequences
[06:50] odd species on Earth right now. of the sixth extinction event 40 to 50% of our current species
[07:02] are the African forest elephants, finless dolphins. so unless there's a drastic change
[07:17] poaching and forest loss these are on their way out? with a salt content
[07:29] is also at risk. due to the immense heat Evaporation is causing water levels
[07:42] to drop an incredible 1.2m each year. Now, with the devastating effects there will be more pressure to innovate.
[07:56] one that will crack the code to This is the process that smashes and in the process,
[08:09] Today, we don't know how to do this how to get the cost down. Something else
[08:23] might also finally have an update. named Cosmic Call one into space. This message will reach its destination

[09:08] a permanent presence on Mars. that Elon Musk has projected. and the start of a martian future
[09:22] that don't get wet in the rain. we'll be masters of nanotechnology. tiny structures into fabrics
[09:36] what's called the lotus effect, where the nanoparticles repel water. and kill microbes,
[09:48] either. I'd be happy if I There's another thing we'll be rid of and oil from our energy system.
[10:05] and we'll be making even bigger strides 2065 to 2074.
[10:18] is pretty cool, well, in the next decade This is 1000 times smaller than nanotech.
[10:30] the energy states within electrons. and properties of individual atoms. Who knows,
[10:44] kinds of chips or supercomputers Now, if you're watching this making it to 2065, well, you're in luck,
[10:58] in the medical field will have progressed parts in 3D. cells, and gene editing
[11:11] of these and other methods. people live years, maybe decades longer. By the late
[11:26] will be complete. and the last of natural gas power The gas vehicles
[11:40] will be considered vintage toys. made in nanotechnology, our solar cells, will be super efficient.
[11:53] to artificial organs, bionic eyes and ears for super vision and implants to enhance intelligence.
[12:06] to what we are today. This is to launch ourselves into space.
[12:19] That was so 2024. This will require a cable to a satellite
[12:34] A cable will have to be made Maybe diamond nano threads Now, despite our efforts
[12:48] due to the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from prior decades. We might have to say goodbye
[13:01] but that might be With our ice continuing to melt. Their numbers will have already dropped
[13:14] The few remaining bears in the interior But having figured out the de-extinction
[13:26] the polar bears back in the future. using genome mapping and gene editing. how to implant these embryos
[13:42] giving us a path out of extinction We may be able to turn back the clock. by 2090.
[13:57] as today's Alaska or Iceland. would be unrecognizable. ice sheets will have melted
[14:12] with new towns built on the Antarctic soil. 2095 to 2104.
[14:25] for the Atlantic Ocean a vast network of wind by the end of the century.
[14:37] but they'll have another allowing us to control and moderate even as hurricanes intensify and break
[14:50] Winter turbines can absorb the energy, Some of the Gulf cities that emptied out Over 80% of the Amazon
[15:05] Logging, fires, farming and industry As a result, that lived in these
[15:19] and indigenous peoples Rapid globalization the extinction of our languages.
[15:32] there were over 7000 languages worldwide. we'll be down to just three languages
[15:44] English, Mandarin and Spanish. 2105 to 2115. genetic engineering
[15:58] your body in new and unusual ways. We might be incorporating giving some of us
[16:11] Which element? Where photosynthesis takes place. dioxide to produce our own sugars.
[16:26] of feeding ourselves and humans The technology to upload our minds, into a computer, will be perfected.
[16:41] inside a computer and those who don't. by the dawn of the 22nd century,
[16:54] of all society. vastly superior cognitive capabilities. the emotional intelligence of humans
[17:09] and analytical superpowers of AI. and those who have not. and Mars will have explored

[17:37] or on the red planet. and honeymoon on the other. and amazing highs
[17:52] Earth will transform. and many species will go extinct. AI to become
[18:05] We'll conquer space and then find ways to tame the weather. we'll apply our intelligence
[18:19] If you're young, buckle up. But what about the next billion years?
[18:31] Well, that sounds like a story for another. What if.
