What will happen in the year 3000? Many would like to know for sure. With confidence, for now, we can only say that this will not be a leap year, which, according to the Gregorian calendar, will begin and end on Wednesday. And he will be the last in the twentieth century and the 3rd millennium. But this, of course, is far from all that is known about the distant future.
Events
If we talk about what will happen in the year 3000, then it is worth noting that it will have to host the CCLXXVII (277th) Summer Olympic Games. and CCLXI (261s) Paralympic. The place where they will be held will be determined 7 years before, in 2993. This will happen as part of the 1105th session of the International Olympic Committee.
These two events are not the only ones in the field of sports. Also in the new 3000, the 261st European Football Championship will be held. And also the 1064th World Hockey Championship.
A busy year will be in the political sphere. In 3000, presidential elections will be held for such states as the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Burundi, Bangladesh, Brazil, Austria, Hungary, etc.
In addition, two solar eclipses are expected. They say that they can be observed either in the northern or southern hemisphere. The probability is 50%.
It is precisely this year that Gamma Cephei, due to the precession, will become a polar star, which will remain approximately until the 5200th. By the way, in the 3000th the difference between the solar and Gregorian calendars will be equal to only 1 day.
Forecasts
Looking ahead to the future, it is also worth noting that the next end of the world should fall on the 3000th. 729th, to be precise. In accordance with the most common point of view, it is dedicated to the beginning of the new millennium. But people who count from one, and not from scratch, do not count on the end of the world. Because for them, the millennium begins the next year after the 3000th.
David Cameron, a British politician , made his forecast. Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom said that this year the EU will “replenish” Turkey.
There are more unusual forecasts for us. A theorist named Oliver Curry, a member of the Darwin group of the London School of Economics, argued that as early as 3000, people would not live on Earth, but two-meter-high cyborgs. And their life on average will be 120-150 years.
Culture
Talking about what will happen in the year 3000, it is also interesting to note that the events of the novel entitled “The Battlefield - Earth: Saga of the Year 3000”, written by the mid-twentieth-century science fiction writer Ronald Hubbard, take place in it.
The song of the group Jonas Brothers is dedicated to this very far from the present time period. It is called Year 3000.
The well-known satirical animated series Futurama begins with the 3000 meeting. And in the story of the American science fiction writer Harry Harrison, entitled “The Road to the Year 3000”, it tells about the achievements of people who were achieved in the 3rd millennium.
People of the future
Probably the most interesting is the mankind of 3000 years. What will happen to people at that time? What will they become? Forecasts are very different. They say that people are so advanced in technology that they can use them to control their development. Genetic selection and bionic organs will enable potential parents to choose the characteristics of their child before birth. Which is not bad, since in this way it will be possible to eradicate unwanted signs and defects.
And, most likely, pure races will cease to exist. Nowadays, there is a strong national confusion. What will happen in the year 3000? Most likely, pure nations and races will completely cease to exist, and the visual differences between people will be almost invisible.
Physiological changes
Finally, it is worth telling about them, looking ahead to the future. So, these are the changes that scientists suppose will happen to people by the year 3000:
- The size of the head is likely to change. A more common version is that it will become smaller.
- Most likely, the little fingers on the legs will disappear. Before evolution, fingers were used for grabbing. Then they began to decrease, as people began to climb less. The thumb maintains balance, but the little finger has no purpose. Hence the version.
- Memory will get worse. This is already being traced. The Internet and technology have greatly facilitated our lives, and remembering a large amount of information is no longer necessary. Perhaps the brain’s ability to store data will completely atrophy by the next millennium.
- The teeth of wisdom will disappear. Even now, about 1/3 of the population does not have them by birth. And they say that the teeth of people of 3000 will be less. Indeed, over the past 100,000 years they have already halved.
- Hair may also disappear. They initially performed a warming function. But it is outdated, as in the modern world there are warm clothes and heaters.
- People will become tall. Over the past two centuries, on average, people have "added" 10 centimeters in height. It is believed that this is due to the abundance of food available to us. The more often and abundantly children eat, the more energy they have for growth.
- Muscular atrophy is possible. The need to develop power disappears - laborious tasks can be performed by a technician. And muscle mass will be lost if people continue to explore space. Even modern astronauts, having spent a long time outside the Earth, return here, having lost 40% of their ability to do physical work.
- Immunity will worsen. People will become even more dependent on medical technology and susceptible to pathogens.
- Pure races will cease to exist. Nowadays, there is a strong national confusion. What will happen in the year 3000? Most likely, pure nations and races will completely cease to exist, and the visual differences between people will be almost invisible.
