One Hundred Million Years From Now

I was watching a nature show on the Animal Planet channel called The Great Rift. It had some amazing photography. Why am I telling you this? Well, the narrator made a comment like "In one hundred million years from now" blah blah blah.

Come on. You could say anything after that statement because none of us will be here then! In one hundred million years humans will be able to fly because evolution will have taken us that far. Who can dispute it? Who can confirm it? No one! That's the beauty - you can say anything!

So, I say that in one hundred million years from now, my descendants will have cured the common cold as well as cancer, negotiated world peace, ended hunger and obesity, and in an act of supreme gratitude, they were rewarded with the title of Greatest Grandest Poobah and given some beach front property in Arizona where they raise unicorns.

  2. In keeping with this, I just read today that physicists say time is likely to end within Earth's lifespan. "There is a 50 per cent chance that time will end within the next 3.7 billion years, according to a new model of the universe."
