What will happen to the earth in the near future. An event with a huge impact on the Earth

Global warming, asteroids, ozone holes - our planet is constantly under threat. What cataclysms will occur on Earth in the future and how will it die? Let's turn to the experts.

Apophis 99942 (2029)

The current headache for astronomers is the asteroid Apophis 99942, which today poses the greatest danger to the Earth. An unexpected guest, according to NASA researchers, the planet should be expected as early as 2029. The weight of the asteroid is 46 million tons, and the diameter is approximately half a kilometer. According to NASA forecasts, if this "baby" collides with our planet, it will cause a catastrophe, in comparison with which, the cataclysms that destroyed the dinosaurs will seem like a mere trifle.
According to 2009 data, the threat of catastrophe is 1 chance in 250 thousand. No reason to panic? You are mistaken, such a figure by cosmic standards is quite a significant indicator. In addition, according to William Eidor, a member of the NASA task force, this is the first time the authorities have shown interest in asteroids.

Water world (year 3000)

If mankind does not get it from the impending cosmic threat, then civilization will be destroyed by the well-known global warming. True, “destroy” is a strong word. It's just that we will live in a "water world", just like in an old Hollywood movie by Kevin Coster. According to scientists, in a thousand years the temperature could rise by 15 degrees Celsius, and sea levels could rise by more than 11 meters. At the same time, the inhabitants of the ocean will also have a hard time - the level of acidity in the water will increase, which will lead to the mass extinction of species.
Fortunately, according to Tim Lenton, lead researcher on the effects of global warming, the dire predictions can still be avoided. But for this, humanity will urgently have to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions and moderate its greed in the use of resources.

Gamma radiation (600 million years)

And yet there are such cataclysms that a person cannot avoid. True, fortunately, such a catastrophe will not happen soon, but after 600 million years. The fact is that the Earth will have to face an unprecedentedly powerful flow of gamma rays, which will be thrown out by the Sun. This will create huge ozone holes, or rather destroy a good half of the Earth's ozone layer. The consequences are obvious - the transformation of our planet into a desert and the mass extinction of all living organisms. For example, one of the largest extinctions in the history of the planet - the Ordovician-Silurian extinction, which occurred 450 million years ago, according to one version, was the result of a burst of gamma radiation from a supernova located six thousand light-years from Earth.

New Venus (1 billion - 3.5 billion years)

The planet will not have time to recover from the next "sunstroke", as the star will bring her a new surprise. According to scientists, in about 1 billion years, the sun will begin its transformation into a red giant and all life on Earth will gradually be “burned out”. After some time, the Earth will turn into a second Venus, where the temperature has reached the boiling point of toxic metals, turning the entire planet into a poisonous wasteland. Scientists made this conclusion on the basis of observations of dying planets (KOI 55.01 and KOI 55.02) as part of the distant red giant KIC 05807616. By the way, salvation for humanity, if it still exists, can be Mars, which will be in the habitable zone.

The earth is in a state of constant change. Whether as a result of human activity or solar disturbances, Earth's future is guaranteed to be more than interesting, but not without chaos. The following list presents ten major events that the Earth is predicted to experience over the next billion years.

1. New ocean
~10 million years
One of the hottest places on Earth, the Afar Basin - located between Ethiopia and Eritrea - is on average 100 meters below sea level. At this point, there is only 20 km between the surface and boiling hot magma, and the earth is slowly thinning due to tectonic movements. Comprised of murderous arrays of volcanoes, geysers, earthquakes, and toxic heated water, the depression is unlikely to become a resort; but in 10 million years, when this geological activity stops, leaving only a dry pool, this place will eventually fill with water, and a new ocean will form - an ideal place for water skiing in the summer.

2. An event with a huge impact on the Earth

~100 million years
Given Earth's rich history and the relatively large number of random debris circulating in space threatening planets, scientists predict that in the next 100 million years the Earth will be impacted by some kind of event comparable to the event that caused the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction 65 million years ago. This, of course, is bad news for any life on planet Earth. And while some species will undoubtedly survive, this impact will most likely spell the end of the Age of Mammals - the current Cenozoic Era - and instead the Earth will enter a new age of complex life forms. Who knows what kind of life will flourish on this newly cleansed Earth? Maybe one day we will share the universe with intelligent invertebrates or amphibians. At the moment, we can only imagine what will happen.

3. Pangea Ultima
~250 million years
Over the next 50 million years, Africa, which has been migrating north for the last 40 million years, will eventually start colliding with southern Europe. This movement will seal the Mediterranean Sea for 100 million years, and create thousands of miles of new mountain ranges to the delight of climbers around the world. Australia and Antarctica also aspire to be part of this new supercontinent, and will continue to move north to merge with Asia. While all this is going on, America will continue its course west, away from Europe and Africa, towards Asia.
What happens next is still being discussed. It is believed that while the Atlantic Ocean is growing, a subduction zone will form on the western border, which will stretch from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean deep into the earth. This will effectively change the direction in which America is moving, and eventually bring it to the eastern border of the Eurasian supercontinent within about 250 million years. If this does not happen, we can expect both Americas to continue their journey west until they merge with Asia. In any case, we can hope for the formation of a new hypercontinent: Pangea Ultima - 500 million years after the creation of the previous continent, Pangea. After that, it will probably split again and start a new cycle of drift and merger.

4 Gamma Ray Burst
~600 million years
If an event with a huge impact on the Earth, repeating every few hundred million years, does not seem like a bad option to you, then know that the Earth constantly has to contend with rare gamma-ray bursts - streams of ultra-high energy radiation, usually emitted by supernovas. Despite the fact that we experience faint gamma-ray bursts on a daily basis, an explosion occurring in the neighboring solar system - within 6500 light years from us - has enough potential to wreak havoc in its path.

With more energy than the Sun has produced in its entire life cycle, which will hit the Earth in minutes and even seconds, gamma rays will burn much of the Earth's ozone layer, causing drastic climate change and widespread environmental damage, including mass extinctions.
Some believe this burst of gamma rays triggered the second largest mass extinction in history: the Ordovician-Silurian extinction event 450 million years ago, which wiped out 60% of all life on Earth.
As with all events in astronomy, the exact timing of the set of events that trigger an Earth-bound gamma-ray burst is very difficult to predict, although typical estimates put the period at 0.5 to 2 billion years. But this time can be reduced to a million years if the threat of the Eta Carina Nebula is realized.

5. Unfit for life
~1.5 billion years
As the Sun gets hotter as it grows in size, the Earth will eventually become uninhabitable due to its proximity to the hot sun. By this time, all, even the most stable forms of life on Earth, will perish. The oceans will dry up completely, leaving only deserts of burnt land. As time goes on and the temperature rises, the Earth may follow the path of Venus and turn into a toxic wasteland as it heats up to the boiling point of many poisonous metals. What remains of humanity will have to vacate this place in order to survive. Fortunately, Mars will have entered the habitable zone by then and will be able to serve as a temporary home for the remaining humans.

6. Disappearance of the magnetic field
~2.5 billion years
Some believe, based on today's ideas about the Earth's core, that within 2.5 billion years, the Earth's outer core will no longer be liquid, but will begin to freeze. As the core cools, the Earth's magnetic field will slowly decay until it ceases to exist altogether. In the absence of a magnetic field, there would be nothing to protect the Earth from the solar winds, and the earth's atmosphere would gradually lose its light compounds - such as ozone - and gradually turn into a pitiful remnant of itself. Now with a Venusian-like atmosphere, Earth will experience the full force of solar radiation, making an already inhospitable earth even more treacherous.

7. Internal catastrophe of the solar system
~3.5 billion years
In about 3 billion years, there is a small but significant chance that Mercury's orbit will stretch in such a way that it intersects the path of Venus. At the moment, we cannot predict exactly what will happen and when it will happen, but in the best case, Mercury will simply be swallowed up by the Sun or destroyed in a collision with its older sister Venus. And in the worst case? Earth could collide with any of the other non-gaseous planets whose orbits would be radically destabilized by Mercury. If somehow the inner solar system remains intact and continues to function uninterruptedly, then within five billion years the orbit of Mars will intersect with the Earth, once again creating the possibility of catastrophe.

8. New night sky painting
~4 billion years
Years will pass, and any life on Earth will be pleased to observe the steady growth of the Andromeda galaxy in the picture of our starry sky. It will be a truly magnificent sight to see the full majesty of a perfectly formed spiral galaxy glowing in the sky, but it will not last forever. Over time, it will begin to horribly distort and merge with the Milky Way, throwing the stable stellar arena into chaos. Although a direct collision of celestial bodies is unlikely, there is a small chance that our solar system can be extracted and thrown into the abyss of the universe. Either way, our night sky will be, at least temporarily, adorned with trillions of new stars.

9. Garbage Ring
~5 billion years
Despite the Moon constantly receding by 4 cm per year, the Sun has entered a red giant phase and it is likely that the current trend will stop. The extra force acting on the Moon from the huge bloated star would be enough to bring the Moon down directly onto the Earth. When the moon reaches the Roche limit, it will begin to disintegrate as the force of gravity exceeds the force holding the moon together. After that, it is possible that a ring of debris will form around the Earth, giving any life on earth a beautiful view, until the debris falls to the ground after many millions of years.
If it doesn't, there is another way the Moon could fall back onto the parent planet. In the event that the Earth and Moon continue to exist in their current form with their unchanged orbits, then in about 50 billion years the Earth will become tidally locked with the Moon. Shortly after this event, the height of the Moon's orbit will begin to decay, while the rate of rotation of the Earth will increase rapidly. This process will continue until the Moon reaches the Roche limit and breaks apart, forming a ring around the Earth.

10. Destruction
unknown
The likelihood that the Earth will collapse within the next ten billion years is very high. Whether in the cold grip of an insidious planet, or suffocated in the arms of our dying Sun, this will no doubt be a sad moment for all human survivors - even if they don't remember which planet it is.

It is known for certain that more than 99% of the species of living beings that have ever existed on our planet have disappeared. And it is unlikely that a person will live forever. Asking questions about what threatens our existence, we draw in our minds apocalyptic images from sci-fi movies about a giant meteorite or an invasion of alien invaders. But there are also less cinematic, but quite real scenarios that few people think about. We have decided to list some of them in this article.

solar storms

The slightest malfunction of our giant fusion reactor - that is, the Sun, can lead to the fact that our planet can simply become either too cold or too hot to support life and the necessary ingredients for it: namely, a breathable atmosphere and water in liquid state. The Sun is a fairly constant star compared to most other stars in our Galaxy, but its radiant flux does change over a relatively stable 11-year cycle. These changes are only 0.1%, but even this negligible figure has a rather serious impact on the Earth's climate.

Moderate storms occur regularly 100-150 times a year, but a solar superstorm can destroy a significant part of the power grid in developed countries. The most powerful storm on record was the storm of 1859, also known as the Carrington Event. The coronal ejection was so powerful that the Northern Lights were observed all over the world, even over the Caribbean. A solar storm disrupted US telegraph lines. But in the middle of the 19th century there was no serious electrical infrastructure, but if such a cataclysm occurred today, it would disable high-voltage transformers and leave entire countries without electricity, setting us back a hundred years.

gamma burst

The sun is not the only star that threatens our planet. Large-scale cosmic energy emissions are observed in distant galaxies, they are called gamma-ray bursts. These brightest electromagnetic phenomena occur during a supernova explosion, when a rapidly spinning massive star collapses into either a neutron star, a quark star, or a black hole. At the same time, in a few seconds of a flash, as much energy is released as the Sun releases in 10 billion years.

The sources of these emissions are located at distances of billions of light years from the Earth, and in our Galaxy a gamma-ray burst occurs about 1 time in a million years, but if it happens close enough to the Earth, then its consequences will significantly affect all living things. According to a 2004 study, a gamma-ray burst at a distance of about 3,262 light-years could destroy up to half of the Earth's ozone layer, which is our main defense against ultraviolet radiation. At the same time, the rays from the explosion, combined with ordinary solar radiation passing through a weakened ozone "filter", can cause a mass extinction of mankind.

If a gamma-ray burst occurs at a distance of 10 light years (within such limits from us there are about 10 stars), it will be equivalent to an atomic bomb explosion on every hectare of the sky, and on half of the planet all life will be destroyed instantly, and on the second half a little later due to secondary effects.

Supervolcanoes

A serious danger lurks in the bowels of our planet. It is known that the eruptions of the so-called supervolcanoes, of which there are about 20 on Earth, can change the climate on Earth and lead to the most terrible consequences. One thing is good - on average, such eruptions occur once every 100 thousand years.

One of the most dangerous underground forces is the Yellowstone Caldera, which measures about 55 km by 72 km and occupies a third of the territory of the famous national park. Scientists have found that the volcano erupted three times, the last time 640 thousand years ago. The probability of a new giant eruption is estimated by scientists at 0.00014% per year.

The eruption of the Yellowstone volcano threatens all of humanity. According to scientists, a huge cloud will be thrown into the stratosphere, which can hang for a long time, preventing the penetration of sunlight to Earth. Reducing the power of solar radiation by half will lead to a global crop failure, and the food reserves on earth are hardly enough for a couple of months. The average annual temperature on Earth can drop by 12 degrees and return to its original positions only after 2-3 years.

Other smaller volcanoes can threaten dire consequences of a different nature. For example, a volcano on the island of La Palma in the Canaries archipelago, in the event of an eruption, can cause a giant ocean wave that can flood the Caribbean and vast areas of the US coast. One of the slopes of the volcano is unstable, and if it starts to erupt, a rock weighing half a trillion tons can fall into the ocean. It will cause a wave 650 meters high, which will not be difficult to quickly cross the Atlantic.

global pandemic

The population of our planet continues to grow, and at the same time, more than 50% of people are city dwellers. Overpopulation leads to an increase in mutations, and high population density leads to the rapid spread of diseases. Apparently, this trend will only continue, and in the future we should expect the emergence of new terrible epidemics that can kill entire cities.

At the same time, antibiotics are becoming more and more useless, which is seriously concerned about the World Health Organization. The rise of antibiotic resistance threatens to set humanity back in time before the invention of penicillin, when the smallest infection became deadly. “In the absence of prompt and concerted action by many stakeholders, our world is entering an era where antibiotics are losing their effectiveness, and common infections and minor injuries that could be cured for decades can now kill again,” says WHO Assistant Director-General for Health Security Dr. Keiji Fukuda.

In general, it is not difficult to imagine how a new plague epidemic will break out and doctors will have no way to stop it. Everyone knows what the Black Death is, which raged in the middle of the XIV century and destroyed almost half of the world's population, after which it took as many as 150 years to restore the population. Another terrible pandemic occurred in 1918-1919, when an estimated 50 to 100 million people died from the Spanish flu. (or about 5% of the population). With the current level of urbanization and the development of transport infrastructure, things will only get worse.

In 2010, a team of epidemiologists built a computer model of the Nipah virus, after which they tracked how it would spread and develop. A report on the results of a computer simulation formed the basis of the film "Contagion". So fantasies of a deadly virus of unknown origin, which is rapidly spreading around the world, may well become a reality.

Resource depletion

How much oil is left in the bowels of our planet, no one knows for sure. But according to optimistic forecasts, by 2050 half of the world's oil reserves will already be pumped out. (according to released intelligence). “The first and most pressing problem that we will face by then is the end of the era of cheap fossil fuels. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the reserves of cheap oil and natural gas that underlie modern prosperous life,” writes the fatalist writer James G. Kunstler.

The oil crisis will have horrendous consequences for which most of the world's population is not ready. And this process will affect not only industrialized countries. Over time, as oil becomes an increasingly scarce resource, the more developed countries will have to look for it where it still remains - from their weaker neighbors. A new stage of exploitation of "poor" countries by "rich" countries will begin: more and more new armed conflicts will be unleashed in the Middle East and Africa.

The shortage of oil can provoke an acute shortage of other resources necessary for the life of mankind. Billions of people will go hungry because of the universal dependence on fossil fuels. As a result, all this can lead to a return to subsistence farming.

Perhaps one day humanity will get off the oil needle and replace gasoline with alcohol, which will be extracted from corn or sugar cane. However, there is no known way by which we can produce rare earth metals, and their potential substitutes either do not exist in nature, or they have insufficient properties. And without these substances, we would have neither smartphones, nor computers, nor electric vehicles, nor any other electronics, and, accordingly, progress.

According to the calculations of scientists at Yale University in the United States, sources of rare earth metals are being depleted at an enormous rate. At the moment, about 95% of all rare earths are mined in China, and most recently, its government imposed restrictions on the export of some elements, as well as doubling the price for them for non-Chinese producers.

gray slime

With the development of technology, humanity should be afraid that these technologies will get out of control and destroy their creators. One hypothetical threat is what futurologists call gray goo. (Grey Goo)- self-replicating molecular nanotechnology, which is not subject to man.

For the first time, the American scientist Kim Eric Drexler, who is called the "father of nanotechnology", spoke about the possibility of creating such a substance. The scientist considered the idea of ​​creating nanorobots in his book Machines of Creation. The original idea was that microscopic machines could be designed in the lab, but could also be randomly generated.

In 2010, DNA-based nanorobots were first demonstrated to be able to seek out and destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. Tiny capsules release the necessary doses of drugs when a target is detected and purposefully destroy the “enemy”. As a result, it turned out that these nanorobots can exist for another month after the death of the "owner".

So far, of course, nanocyborgs are being developed solely for the benefit of people, but in theory they can both create and destroy. If, for some reason, nanobots enter the biosphere and begin to multiply endlessly, using everything they can get as material to create their copies, in fact, they can begin to absorb everything around, including the planet itself. At the same time, the hypothetical "gray goo" will be very difficult to destroy, since one surviving replicator will be enough for it to start multiplying again. If such a robot falls into the oceans, then it will be simply impossible to destroy it.

nuclear holocaust

As long as there are 7 countries in the world that have nuclear weapons, the probability of starting a nuclear war cannot be equal to zero, despite the fact that it can lead to the extinction of mankind or to the end of modern civilization on Earth. The reasons for this threat are quite obvious: a nuclear explosion is accompanied by a destructive shock wave that erases everything in its path, burning light radiation and penetrating radiation, which causes irreversible changes in matter. People who have not even received significant injuries directly from the explosion are very likely to die from infectious diseases and chemical poisoning. There is a high probability of being burned in fires or being walled up in rubble.

A nuclear explosion causes a disturbance in the electromagnetic field, which will disable electrical and radio-electronic equipment - that is, all communication lines, transformers, semiconductor devices, which will lead to the loss of all modern technologies.

Despite all the risks to which civilization will be exposed, analysts suggest that billions of people will still be able to survive a global thermonuclear war. But after it ends, nuclear winter may begin. Widespread explosions and fires will carry a huge amount of smoke and soot into the stratosphere. As a result, the sun's rays will be reflected from these particles, and the temperature on the planet will drop to the arctic everywhere, and the surviving population will have to adapt to new difficult conditions.

Ignorance and stupidity

The most underestimated threat to any society is ignorance. (unconscious or conscious) combined with passivity and laziness. Both types of ignorance are fed by the media - the main tools of politicians and corporations.

It is the “cult of ignorance” that is the reason why in the 21st century there are religious fundamentalists, racists, people who worship authority and demonize all those who do not do this. It is because of widespread ignorance that there are people everywhere who deny global warming and exploit others for personal super-profit.

In "well-fed years" ignorance grows, and the importance and necessity of education become less obvious. The younger generation, taking advantage of the system that was built by their ancestors, gradually forgets how and why this system was built. In the end, incompetent people gain power with the support of the majority, thus putting the foundations of the system itself in jeopardy.

Populism and lack of competence are a real danger to humanity. For example, researchers from the USA (a country that is currently at the peak of prosperity as a result of technological advances and effective economic policies in the 19th and 20th centuries) say that this peak can be interpreted as the beginning of the decline. If only because the former US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is not familiar with elementary scientific theories.

The figure above shows a graph in which the development of education is marked in blue, and the economic development accompanying it from the time of Ancient Greece to the present day is marked in red. Although the drawing is rather speculative, such pessimistic views are quite common among futurists.

Max Tegmark, professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also believes that human stupidity is the biggest problem of all mankind, and artificial intelligence is its biggest existential danger. People with limited intellectual functioning, ignoring the potential catastrophic consequences, may allow artificial intelligence to develop into something capable of destroying humanity.

The rapid development of technology, climatic metamorphoses and constant population growth in the next few decades will radically change life on our planet.

the site found out what awaits humanity in the near future. By the end of the 21st century, people may face global changes, and their lives will become completely different,

2022: India will become the most populous country in the world

For many years, the palm in the competition of the most populous countries belonged to China, but the researchers argue that India will take over the lead in five years. It was previously thought that this would happen in 2028. But the results of the analysis of global demographic trends suggest that China will lose ground much faster.

2030: man will land on Mars

Talk about an expedition to Mars has been going on for more than a year. However, quite concrete steps towards the realization of this goal began to be taken not so long ago. In the summer of 2011, representatives of the 10 largest world space agencies met as part of a meeting of the International Coordinating Group for Space Exploration. Basically, scientists discussed the issues of the colonization of Mars. A number of decisions were made and preparations for the expedition began.

It has already become clear that in a couple of decades the Red Planet can become a new home for people. It is planned that it will be colonized already in the 30s of the XXI century. In preparation for the expedition, which will turn the course of history, takes part - a talented engineer and entrepreneur who came up with a special rocket fuel, the components for which can be mined directly on Mars.

2037: Arctic ice melts

Climatologists from different countries agree that literally in 20 years the Earth may lose its northern "ice cap". According to a 2009 study, Arctic ice then covered about five million square kilometers of the surface of the Arctic Ocean. The situation is changing every year - the ice began to melt actively.

According to the most optimistic forecasts, by 2037 only a million square kilometers of ice crust will remain in the Arctic. Some scientists believe that the ice will disappear completely by this time. As a result, the habitat of unique animals will be completely destroyed, and there will be much more water in the oceans. These changes threaten to flood a large part of the land.

2040: artificial intelligence will crush the human mind

But from this prediction it becomes somehow creepy. American scientists are sure that, taking into account Moore's Law(the observation that computer performance doubles every two years), in 20 years artificial intelligence will be able to make its own decisions and be fully creative.

This process is fraught with many dangers (we all remember the famous fantastic saga "Terminator"), but experts still believe that the computer mind cannot escape from human control.

2050: Africa and Asia will turn into a giant dump

Photo: pixabay.com

In most civilized countries, the garbage issue has been resolved, but in many African and Asian states, people simply drowned in household waste. Every year there is more and more garbage. Local authorities are not always able to organize its removal to a landfill, not to mention the proper processing.

If in the near future experienced "cleansers" do not help the third world countries, Africa and Asia are facing a real environmental disaster. In 30 years, it may well happen that due to the poisoning of soil and groundwater, animals will begin to die, and people will begin to massively move from places no longer suitable for habitation - Europe and America will be overwhelmed by a new wave of migration. In this case, there may not be enough space for everyone.

2075: The ozone layer will fully recover

The ozone layer hasn't been talked about much lately, but back in the 1980s, people were shocked by the news that CFCs in aerosol cans had made a huge hole in our natural UV shield. A few years later, aerosol manufacturers were banned from using substances harmful to the ozone layer.

Some time passed, and a huge hole over the Arctic began to gradually "tighten". The process of regeneration of the ozone shield is slow, so its full recovery will occur only after more than 50 years.

2100: Amazon forests will almost disappear

Photo: pixabay.com

Well, now to the sad one. The facts listed earlier can be attributed to positive changes. However, scientific and technological progress, overpopulation and human dependence on natural resources have caused a number of environmental disasters.

Scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Research Wolfgang Kramer I am sure that in 80 years the Amazon jungle will practically disappear due to drought, which has become more frequent there due to global warming. In addition, these unique forests are being actively cut down, despite numerous protests from the "greens". According to scientists, by the next century only 83% of the Amazonian jungle will remain.

Radical climate change is gradually destroying not only flora but also fauna. If the general temperature background continues to rise, then we will lose about 900 species of birds: birds of all animals are most susceptible to environmental problems.

2100: Venice sinks

Over the past 100 years, one of the most beautiful European cities has sunk 23 centimeters into the sea. The inhabitants of Venice have always suffered from floods, but now the situation is almost out of control. Today, the famous St. Mark's Square is flooded with water almost a hundred times a year, while at the beginning of the 20th century this happened 10 times less often.

As the forecasts of many scientists show, in 15 years it will be almost impossible to live in Venice, and in 80 years the sea will swallow the city completely.

Q. What is the future of the Earth and its people in the next 50 years, what will the life of our children be like, what are we preparing for in order to meet the future “fully armed”? In particular, what awaits Russia, the EU countries and globally in general.

A. In the next 50 years, the map of the Earth is likely to change. The cataclysms that are taking place will intensify. A strong migration of people to the East will begin. As already mentioned by many seers, such as Nostradamus, Vanga, Casey, the map of the world and Europe will change. The landscape will remain almost the same in Russia in Siberia, in particular in the region of the Ob River and in India. These landscapes will remain unchanged.

There will be no global catastrophe that will wipe the continents off the face of the earth, but life will be less and less comfortable. In particular, this is Western Europe, so the movement of people to the above areas will begin.

People's outlook will change dramatically. The very formulation of the question “to meet fully armed” is not entirely correct. The desire for spirituality will need to be invested in their own children in order to come to such an understanding, which means not attempts to win back the world and their conditions from nature, not to fight with the elements, but to adapt to it, learn to appreciate everything that is around, nature, water, air. Save, treat with care, understanding that your descendants will live after you. This is what you need to invest in, this is the most important thing. From the state of consciousness of the consumer, move on to the realization of what needs to be created. Something destroyed in nature - restore, clean, remove. Then everything that happens will be perceived more harmoniously, consciously. Then the actions will be clear. There should be interaction, not confrontation.

Indeed, in the situation that is happening now, the consciousness of many people is actively changing.

Q. What exactly should children be taught?

A. To love and respect those around you. Take care of what surrounds us. We are now so far removed from the natural state. It is necessary to take the children out more often somewhere in the forest, to the river, to the mountains. Learn elementary things, how to survive in natural conditions, what our ancestors could do for many millennia in a row and what we have forgotten how to do. It's not about going back to the stone ax and starting all over again. The sooner this awareness comes, the sooner we can change the course of events, and not turn life into a disaster. It is necessary to teach children elementary things, how to keep warm in natural conditions, how to feed yourself. It should not be perceived as something that threatens us in the future, but it greatly expands consciousness. But such an attitude to the world to the nature of nature gives such an experience that does not allow destroying what is. This is the moment of creation, the moment of creation. Not just how to earn money, to be fixated on the material side of life, but to discover these facets.

The closer we get to this natural state, the closer we communicate with grass, trees, and the earth, the more knowledge and worldly wisdom we will receive. This is what children should be taught. They are now severely cut off from nature.

Q. How will a person's life change in general?

A. More and more energy will be spent on creating comfortable living conditions for yourself. Japan has already felt it, and Europe is beginning to feel it. A lot of effort and energy have to be expended in order to create comfort for oneself where it was not there for natural reasons, for example, artificial continents are created, lands in wetlands are reclaimed. The earth will still return everything to its place. To maintain this confrontation, more and more energy will be expended, both natural and human resources. It is very difficult. Create for yourself in the conditions of the Far North the comfort that you can only have in the tropics. And people are looking for it now. Instead of interacting with nature, they oppose it.

Q. So you have to learn to be natural?

A. Yes, and don't be afraid of it. You also need to teach your children not to be dependent on their attachments.
