So much is going to happen between then. Humans probably will either be extinct or have colonized the galaxy. Many life ending asteroids would have collided with Earth. New animals would have evolved by then. Maybe even new intelligence on Earth. So exciting.

There are theories that Mars and Venus used to look like earth and maybe even had life. This would have been when earth was still lifeless. Supposedly Mars and Venus formed faster than Earth did and had a period where they potentially could have hosted life

Realistically, I can't see humans being around by then. We certainly wouldn't be "human" anymore by then anyway. We'd have long evolved to be extremely different, if lifeforms this large could even survive.

This image raises a lot of questions. Why do scientists believe life evolved faster on both Mars and Venus than it did on Earth? Especially since life evolved on Earth almost as soon as it had water.

The flaw here, is the surface water ratios.

Earth has a stupid-huge amount of water. Mars has a little bit, and Venus has mostly none.

Pluto has more water than Venus, and Enceladus is nothing but.

Evolution doesn't just happen if you wait long enough, it happens if certain genes or mutations are more successful at reproducing than others. Modern society doesn't really select for anything, we even go to great lengths to do the exact opposite.

Have any of you also read about that the continents will stop drifting in around 500 mil yrs or so and that will spell the end of life on earth. Vaguely recall it, but it did have to do with the continents no longer moving

Considering dinosaurs evolved several million years before the first mammals and aren't completely extinct even today, that's a pretty damn safe bet.

Yes, birds are technically dinosaurs.

We really have only been us for a couple 20,000 years.

We are very young, but we should have matured a bit more recently.
Our Tech, apparently, has outgrown our minds.

It has been 1 week since I replied. Felt like 3 days to me. Forgot I even posted on here tbh. 250 million years will feel like 107,142,857 years to me based on this info. But as I age I reckon 1 week will start feeling like a day to me probably. So will feel shorter than 107m years probably.

I was walking down Sunset Strip, Phillip Island, not Los Angeles
Got me some hot chips and a cold drink
Took a sandy seat on the shore
There's a paper on the ground, it makes my headache quite profound
As I read it out aloud
It said, "The Great Barrier Reef it ain't so great anymore
It's been raped beyond belief, the dredgers treat it like a whore..."

Stand by for real estate values between Jupiter and Pluto to skyrocket after stellar catastrophe. Finally, Neptune might get a decent shopping mall.
