Тhere is nothing shorter than human eternity

The age of the earth is measured in billions of years, but when it was born, the galaxy was already ancient ... Against this background, the appearance of a strange mammal representative about 5 million years ago in Africa is something that does not impress. .
However, the animal did not know it, and since it was ambitious, it decided to conquer the earth, the solar system, the cosmos ...
And here with humor! Then come to the greatest of irony.
A far-off descendant of that gadget, about 250,000 years ago, evolved into a new species, who after a few millennia afterwards named Homo Sapiens.
We are the people, and everything we build (and destroy) is the product of our civilization, which we lay down somewhere 10-12 000 thousand years ago, but de facto this world we know today is a product of none and the last 3 centuries. In fact, from the moment we enter our scientific and technological revolution.
And so. Now I will put a few figures that I want to compare nicely because they are a digital analogue of elapsed time and finally there will be a word that I recommend you to read several times in a row ...
5 000 000 000
5,000,000
250 000

ETERNITY!
Man is a great brute!
I will give an example with an immortal (here I am ironic) phrase:
"Everything and everyone is afraid of the time, and it is afraid of the pyramids"
The quote is not verbatim, but meaningless is perfect.
And here comes a plethora of: Eternal love, Eternal glory, Eternal memory, Eternal your ... Eternal, Eternal, Eternal ...
Yes, we really love Eternal Things ...
And here is electro-shock therapy!
We all know how we are gradually destroying the earth, but do we realize that the apocalypse predicted by scientists is no longer a thing of the distant future. More and more experts are of the opinion that this generation is currently growing, which is likely to face the consequences of human arrogance.
In fact, very probable models, calculations, developments clearly show that within a period of well over 100 years, people will face the danger of starting to die massively! And I'm not talking here about the hypothetical Last War, even though this is an option that is not to be underestimated.
But things have more elementary names - Pollution, Greenhouse effect, Hunger, Total ecosystem failure, Diseases, Exhaustion of resources as a result of our irresponsibility, and more, and more ...
And the worst thing is that the trouble comes in a team ... Here's an elementary scheme:
Greenhouse effect - glacier melting due to the shock of temperature rise. Increasing the deserts and semi-deserts too. Change in ocean currents, accompanied by a terrible climate house (tornadoes, hurricanes ...). Natural disasters will be much more brutal and more furious than current ones. Super Fire ...
Let me stop here, huh? And I do not say anything new, but at least "calms me" the fact that my voice will sink into the same total indifference as many scholars and enlighteners of the highest level ...
The power of money and personal interests have always been dominant at least for the epochs for which we have reliable historical records.
And now I repeat the numbers and the word again ...
5 000 000 000
5,000,000
250 000
10 000
250
ETERNITY!
And I put something extra:
Human Eternity
How long does it look like in your opinion?
This is a rhetorical question!
The answer is - While the man has it ...
And before the final inscription, I'll insert some science fiction into my essay.
100,000 years after today. On the third planet of a starboard star system, land a space ship. Its scanned systems have detected strange objects that are impossible to have a natural origin.
An unimaginably monstrous individual from the crew slowly descends to the surface, and begins to walk between the last remaining ruins of an ancient and mighty, apparently disappeared civilization ... So, a certain amount of time passes. Finally, he heads to his star.
The doors open. He climbs up the stairs, but just before entering, he stops and slowly turns around.

  • Pity. For so little time we have gone, but alas, nothing, even the universe, is not forever ...
    The doors are closed. The ship swells upward in the atmosphere and leaves the limits of this sad place.
    Finale!
