Contrary to all pessimistic theories about global catastrophes, I really want to see the Earth in the future beautiful and prosperous. Sci-fi artists of all countries and peoples are especially successful in creating visual images of the future. Their pictures can be used to trace the evolution of ideas about the future of the Earth.
Instructions
Step 1
There are factors that are well known to modern science. For example, the movement of continents. You, of course, know that the earth's crust is plastic and that continents do not stand still. There was a single ancient continent - Pangea, which in prehistoric times was divided into parts of the land known today. Continental drift continues non-stop. But in which direction? There are two main versions. The first is to unite them into Neopangea.
Step 2
The second version is that the movement of the continents will lead to the fact that they all line up in one line along the equator of the globe. This version is confirmed by the action of centrifugal forces known to everyone from school physics - after all, the earth rotates non-stop. Then all the inhabitants of the Earth will have an exclusively tropical and subtropical climate.
Step 3
Apocalyptic ideas about the future of the Earth cannot be discounted. The future of the planet largely depends on the action of cosmic forces independent of man: meteorites, comets, asteroids, solar radiation … Even the old Moon-woman poses a certain danger to the Earth if, for any reason, leaves her orbit.
Step 4
And yet, despite doubts, artists paint a wonderful world of the future. Just like scientists, they build on the facts and trends known to date and stretch the imagination into the distant, distant times. For example: if there are modern skyscrapers, then in the future they will become even more grandiose.
Step 5
Are buildings made of glass and concrete displacing plants from city streets? This means that in the future it will be impossible to see in cities neither a tree, nor a bush, nor grass, nor a flower …
Step 6
Is transport developing rapidly and intensively? This means that the transport of the future will become even more diverse and convenient.
Step 7
Is humanity rushing into space? This means that it will take the cities of the future with it. A city is a spaceship, a city is a microcosm, a city in the vastness of the Universe, in the bowels of the Earth or in the depths of the world's oceans.
Step 8
But people are closer to the idea of a city of the future, in which buildings and transport will peacefully coexist with the flora and fauna, with the natural world. This is the most natural and logical way of urbanization development.
