In the centuries ahead....hyphothesis and interpretation

[Skaman]

Much has changed over the last 100 years on our planet. War, starvation, genocide, mass destruction, Empires have risen and fallen.

I know this is purely hyphothesis, but what educated guesses can we make to suggest what we belive will happen in the years to come.....

I will list five that I will likelty see in my lifetime.

1. A nucler device will be detonated within the USA by means of terrorism

2. China will rise as an economic superpower to challange the USA for global market territory and influence.

3. The political ideal of communism will disseapear. The idea of communism will only be present in History textbooks.

4. Africa will fall into a greater state of chaos and starvation that is unparalled to what it is today.

5. Conventional means of electricity including petrol will run out, putting much of the modern world into a staggering economic depression.

[Ratamacue]

My guesses:

1. I too believe a nuclear weapon will be used against the US for terrorism. :|

2. China is still a third-world country. Most of the population has no exposure to technology whatsoever. I don't really think they can become an economic superpower anytime soon. However, it's very possible that Europe as a whole will become stronger economically than the US.

3. As fossil fuels run low, newer forms of propulsion and power will probably become more and more possible and used (hydrogen fuel cells, nuclear fusion, ion engines, etc.)

4. A new type of combat weapon will be created (particle beams, pulse lasers, rail guns, etc.)

[James]

Everbody will learn to live together happily and hold hands. Militaries will disappear. There will be no more violence. :roll:

I hope that American foreign policy will change, getting away from the current notion that the world is like Dodge City, and the U.S. is the Sheriff.

I hope that cures are found for AIDs and Cancer. I believe that we will run out fo fossil fuels, but I don't think that will lead to a global economic meltdown. We'll adapt and overcome.

I hope that some cultures will look at themselves and the rest of the world and relize that it is time to join the 21st century, not fester in the 16th century.

A lot of hope, no predictions...

[GazB]

The most abundant and available power supply is already here... water.
The only thing that stops it from being used is the low cost of dirtier sources like coal and oil.
Solar power seperates Hydrogen from oxgen in water electrically... hydrogen is burned in engines to generate power... exhaust fume is steam.

Ion engines have already been used on spacecraft but have few uses on Earth.
Controlled fusion might be nice.

Bio attack on the US more likely, and more likely to be more devastating than a nuke attack.

[fisheyestudio]

Technological advances aside, all the major events are well laid out in scripture...if you care to seek them out.

End times began with the advent of world wars one and two.

At any time now the Messiah will return for his bride and the Jewish nation will sign a treaty that brings about peace.

From the signing of this treaty the 70th week that Daniel foretold will begin.

Three and a half years after the treaty is signed the political leader who made the treaty will double cross the Jewish nation and begin a never before seen wave of persecution.

At the end of seven years from the signing of the treaty, only a remnant of Jews will be left alive and these will have repented and accepted Christ as the Messiah. They will call out to Him for help and He will return and wage the campaigne of Armaggedon.

1000 year kingdom will be established during which the Jewish nation will possess all the land that was promised to Abraham in the Palestinian Covenant.

Satan will be released for a season and lead a rebellion of gentile youth. The rebellion is crushed and the Eternal Order is established.

Well thats the short version...let me know if you want scripture refrences...or better yet, take the time and dig them out!

Jesus blessings!

p.s. it would be cool if things hold on long enough for me to have a hover car...hehe

[GLax]

ok.... well heres mine, i think an alternate source of power will be used (they already found plenty) but if this happens the Middle eastern countries are going to have a rough time and might go back to their old tribal ways with the exception of Israel. i can almost see terrorism getting worse b4 it gets better, but i hope theres no bio or nuclear attaack on the US or anybody for that matter as some have suggested. the US economy will continue to recess but not to the point of a depression, let us not forget that Clinton was a Democratic president and they tend to focus on a strong economy where as Republicans like to play sheriff :roll:. and one last thing that will definately happen, Ralph Nader will become President, signaling the begining of the apocolyse... :cantbeli:

[Seiyuuki]

I WANT MY PORTABLE FUSION GENERATOR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the century ahead, I truly hope fusion power be a reality, imagine the power!!!!!!!! I don't know much about the exact science, but I think 2 or 3 of those thing could power an entire country like the US or China or Russia.

1. A nucler device will be detonated within the USA by means of terrorism
Can be or can be not. Possible, however.

2. China will rise as an economic superpower to challange the USA for global market territory and influence.
Probably not, unless they abandon the semi-Communist dictatorship.

3. The political ideal of communism will disseapear. The idea of communism will only be present in History textbooks.
We're on half the way to it. Communist dictatorship are falling year by year and even those who survive abandon the Communist idealogy and behave as fasicts with a red sickle emblem.

4. Africa will fall into a greater state of chaos and starvation that is unparalled to what it is today.
Things in Africa will only get worse.

5. Conventional means of electricity including petrol will run out, putting much of the modern world into a staggering economic depression.
There are oil reserves for about 100 hundred years. Therefore, the Americans are working on alternative sources of energy. Possibilities are solar energy, nuclear energy and hydro-energy. Something that many research is nuclear fusion which can do a revolution in energy. There are also cars that are moved by gas and not by petrol.

[Kenshin]

Comments.

1. A nucler device will be detonated within the USA by means of terrorism
- Terrorism aims for fatality numbers and media attention. So not necessarily a nuclear device..could be biological or conventional. May not also be inside continental US but on its offshore presence and allies. Surely, it will continue to be a threat as long as the groups and its leaders are there.

2. China will rise as an economic superpower to challange the USA for global market territory and influence.
- Doubtly, china still does not have the techno status and form of govt to be so and hardline commu's are at the seats of power and influence. Russia( Military Tech and Hardware ), Europe and Japan ( Industrial Tech ) may use china as its prime customer and due to this stature will remain a military power.

3. The political ideal of communism will disseapear. The idea of communism will only be present in History textbooks.
- We are litterrary at past noon time on this. Sunrise began late 80's.

4. Africa will fall into a greater state of chaos and starvation that is unparalled to what it is today.
- Definitely will come. Unless the nations in cont africa form an african union.

5. Conventional means of electricity including petrol will run out, putting much of the modern world into a staggering economic depression.
-Not in the nest 50 years. Newer sources of energy and engine types are already been discovered and will be injected for industrial and public transpo when the time comes.

Additions:

6. Russia's economy will be improve due to its exports of Natural Resources and Military techno-hardware. It will rebuild its military to be as strong as during the cold war. Not necessarily in numbers but at par or better with US technology.

7. Man will reach Mars by US, Russia and European space programs working together.

8. India and Pakistan will continue to grunge at each other but there will be no direct confrontation. Again Russia will gain from this and also Israel.

9. Terror groups will increase its presence in South east asia. Making indonesia as base of operation ( much like afganistan ).

[Skaman]

I find it stange that almost all comments posted doubt a China in the future which would economically(not militarily) challange the US global market. For one, China is not a semi communist dictatorship anymore. Infact, China is far closer to a socilaist regime with strong industrial and economic components. Second, the immense labor force, which can work cheap is a strong benefit to the nation, although it lacks proper social equality and human index development. China will ultimately rise very fast as a key player in the pacific rim taking the usa's previous trade monopolies. While this nations GDP will eventully surpass the USA"s, the quality of life will remain significantly lower.

[California Joe]

China's leadership, much like North Korea's, are a parody of the societies they claim to serve. Little wannabe Hugh Hefners with green teeth and bad hygeine shagging Swedish whores while their people starve. Nice. Makes Don Rumsfeld seem rational. heh.

If all this nuclear winter takes place I'll be glad I know how to fire a flintlock rifle.

[cut]

1. A nucler device will be detonated within the USA by means of terrorism
Can be or can be not. Possible, however.
i reckon it's more likely to be biological

2. China will rise as an economic superpower to challange the USA for global market territory and influence.
Probably not, unless they abandon the semi-Communist dictatorship.
they already have done mostly, capitalism has it's dirty hold on them.

3. The political ideal of communism will disseapear. The idea of communism will only be present in History textbooks.
We're on half the way to it. Communist dictatorship are falling year by year and even those who survive abandon the Communist idealogy and behave as fasicts with a red sickle emblem.

yes but there are still lots of people who believe its "equality" and guaranteed jobs, which may sound crazy to people that are born rich like us.

4. Africa will fall into a greater state of chaos and starvation that is unparalled to what it is today.
Things in Africa will only get worse.
not necessarily, africa is getting more westernised all the time, and now South africa is practically a western country others will follow.

5. Conventional means of electricity including petrol will run out, putting much of the modern world into a staggering economic depression.
There are oil reserves for about 100 hundred years. Therefore, the Americans are working on alternative sources of energy. Possibilities are solar energy, nuclear energy and hydro-energy.

only americans? even if resources did last for another 100 years, prices are only going to go up

[Seiyuuki]

All this talk about China possibilities...are people forgetting the other China? Taiwan??? (I been there a couple of times, pretty nice place) I seriously think something have to happen between those two countries. Right now, Taiwan got the lead in the economic gains between the two. If nothing happen, then both China will forever be an unbearable thorn in each other side, which may or may not help their development.

[paulbo]

There is one, and only one CHINA in this world! U'd better pray that Taiwan won't go farther more than now, otherwise it will be changed soon. We r not Yugoslavia, Iraq, Panama, Somali, Libya, Norht Korea or any these kind of countrys, if US government won't loose thousands and thounsands soldier's life, be smart, and walk away!

Another thing, i don't think that we can beat USA in Europe or America whatever economically or militarily in forseeable future. But we can do it in Asia definitely. we do not want to fight with USA, that's horrible for both sides, and we do hope that we can come together to develop a better future for all of us. But if somebody think that they have the right to take over the whole world, i'm sorry to say: go to hell!

[Ichhabe]

paulbo; before flabbing your mouth like that; havent the only China some scores to settle with Viet Nam from what they did to the Red Army in 1979? ;)

[ArmoredDov_D9]

1. A nucler device will be detonated within the USA by means of terrorism

2. China will rise as an economic superpower to challange the USA for global market territory and influence.
Probably not, unless they abandon the semi-Communist dictatorship.

Yes, but they are still an opressive dictatorship.

3. The political ideal of communism will disseapear. The idea of communism will only be present in History textbooks.

yes but there are still lots of people who believe its "equality" and guaranteed jobs, which may sound crazy to people that are born rich like us.

Ideas for more equality and social care will always be there but everyone today realizes the Communism failed. The alternatives are now welfare states and social-democarcy.

4. Africa will fall into a greater state of chaos and starvation that is unparalled to what it is today.
Things in Africa will only get worse.
not necessarily, africa is getting more westernised all the time, and now South africa is practically a western country others will follow.
But the rest of Africa isn't that lucky.

5. Conventional means of electricity including petrol will run out, putting much of the modern world into a staggering economic depression.

only americans? even if resources did last for another 100 years, prices are only going to go up
Yes. But when there will be an alternative to oil prices will go down.

1979, we sent our troops to Vietnam and took them down in one month, because all they had was given by China! :P they tried to use same way as they did to US, but unfortunately we taught them those strategys and tacticals......how poor...

U know nothing about China, u should ask those old soldiers, they might tell u what kind of enemy they faced before. I don't mind whatever u say, just becasue at least ur government knows how to deal with us which is enough... :lol: :lol: otherwise u might be dead already out of ur country.

I'm not sure what history book you're reading from in the PRC, but last I checked, your behind was handed to you by the Vietnamese in 1979. Really think about that, you don't "took them down in one month," considering your tone of words, I might add in "with ease" and just go home and leave them be.

Also, don't forget your past past past history, 1000 years under the Chinese's rule, the Vietnamese decided to throw off their yoke, and your behind was also handed to you then by a bunch of provincial village rebels.

People's Republic of China and Republic of China, you sure there is only one China?

[paulbo]

ArmoredDov_D9, I'm sorry! :oops:


TF160SOAR, U r so funny...well, well, actually ur government said the same thing as u before, but everybody knows what happened. :lol: :lol:

:P Everybody knows that war from 1979 to 1988, even children in China. And there r a lot of retired soldiers around us, we don't need to only read the history books to know that. We have eight military regions in China, and our government just sent different troops from different mr to Vietnam, we didn't even choose whatever elite forces, just put them in. Can ur government do it like us? BTW, we can read english history books about ur country and all other countrys, can u read Chinese history books? If not,do u think the book about China u read is correct? I knew that my government lied to us before even now sometimes (for example 1989), but at least we know it, and we try to change it. we won't be the red China any more. Our country is still poor, and not that strong, but strong enough to defeat any enemy on this earth in our world. ;)

At last, whatever u add before China, there is a only one China in this world. Chinese is one kind of language as English, but based on the history, culture and socitey, only Chinese speaks Chinese as mother tongue! I bet US doesn't want Taiwan to come to independent ;) u know why? give u one chance to think about it! Actually there is a country want it in this world, and it was our enemy!

[Ichhabe]

paulbo, you convinced me! There is only one China, and you ain't there! rofl

[paulbo]

I have a lot of friends from Taiwan, and i bet i know more and more and more about Taiwan than all of u :P So now there is a problem, u said that taiwan people wants to be independent, but most of my friends told me that most of them in Taiwan don't want...well, i'm not related to any military, government stuff, and that's unnecessary to lie to me. Can u give me a reason about it?

We still think that Taiwan people is Chinese that's why we don't want to fight with them. But if one day, it comes to ture that we don't think they are Chinese which means they would be the history in the book!

[Ichhabe]

paulbo; you seem to be hit hard by a disease called propagandoisis.

And it does not help to take the "imalwaysrightandknowmoreaboutyourcountrythanyouknowaboutmycountry" pills. They do not work. I prescribe the "whycantwejustgetalong" cough syrup. ;)

[NcDeuce]

Sure, someday China may become a monster ("a 21st-century Soviet Union," in one military official's words); but that prospect, even by the Pentagon's worst-case estimate, is at least decades off. China has not renounced the military option against offshore Taiwan but won't use it unless Taiwan were to foolishly declare formal political independence. And in the so-called war on terrorism, Beijing has cooperated far more fulsomely than, say, Paris.

Seriously, though...the American military 50+ years ago and the American military now is a big difference. We are, by far, the most powerful nation in the world.

Of the soldiers killed during the invasion phase of Iraq, how many were Marines? Conventional wars are definitely costly, but sometimes needed. Bottom line, our SOF boys can clean house in China.

[Seiyuuki]

Since when does just being Chinese has stop the PRC from doing anything bad? Oh yeah, all those college students protesting in Tiananmen Square, I guess the State just decided that they don't think those students are Chinese anymore, so how many of them are history in the book now? Yeah...that's a real simple concept, we don't "think" you're Chinese. Well, paulbo, I don't "think" you're Chinese, oh hey...lookie here, there you are in my history book.

[Joshisonfire]

They were able to 'liberate' the Netherlands - too bad they are not 'policing' it now (and some of its neighbour countries)

Now that would make them look REALLY powerful! (and you a little bit more quiet)

Look Paublo if you were actually from China you'd know that there isn't ONE Chinese language. That there is in fact Cantonese and Mandrid or something like that. And that they are different dialects or so I'm told.

The european union will become a larger economical factor but the social structures it has (good and almost free health care, cheap education,...) will compeltely dissapear. Creating large masses of unedacted people without jobs, that in combination with more and more (muslim) immigrants is creating an enormous potential of civil war or anarchy in several countries or regions of the EU.

Yup if it weren't for us, most of you Europeans would be greeting each other with, "Guten Tag."

There are many Afghans and Somalis who have come out publically and said that they were grateful for the American help. Iraqis have come out as well, it just doesn't get as much media attention. Take the first Gulf War for example, the Special Forces teams that basically lived with Anti-Saddam forces loved their American counterparts. They went on to name some of their children after the SF operators.

They protected us from the Russians?
Where were the US when the rebillion in the GDR was bloody ended by the Russians? Where were the US when the Russians started to build the wall?

Why do these hypothesis only include the USA? are you unaware other problems are likely to emrerge and continue around the globe?

[Skaman]

on the ww2 topic, The USA was not the sole nation to liberate Europe. The USA did not even reach Eastern Europem while the Russins did. I wouldent exactly call it "liberation", but the Russians defeated a substantial portion of the reich in the east. It is very likely that if not for russia, the allied nations would not have suceeded in Europe.

Reasons:


1. More German troops could be supplied on the wetern front

2.Pilots taken from the African front to Russia would not have been necessary, thus Malta would have been a german victory, guarenteening the sucess of Romel.

3.A prolonged conflict in western europe, and stalemate would have given germany time to perfect their a-bomb and long distance jet bombers. One should recall that the manhatten project was made possible due to German defecters who would likely not of done so in a winning Germany.

O.K. heres my theories...

1: Russia will break up into small tiny unstable countries with nuclear capabilities.

2:Total anarchy in the middle east. It will just turn into one big battle ground with boarders.

3: Terrorist's will eventually get ahold of a nuclear bomb and will either attack Britian or the United States. Either way the area were its detonated will turn into a nuclear winter and the radiation will make the area un-inhabitable.

4: China will turn into a evil dictatorship, then eventually crumble to small anarchist states from sanctions imposed by the international community.

5: The "Free World" wont seem so free when our governments take away all of our rights.

6: War on terrorism never ends and just becomes a government cliche like the war on drugs. They use "terrorism" as an excuse to invade peoples privacy and take away rights and freedoms.

7: South America/Africa will be ravaged by aid's and famon. Due to the worlds overpopulation many country's will start to "claim" parts of south america/africa as its own and many wars will be fought over the land.

8: Wars will be fought over water and whats left of the oil in the middle-east. Once the oil runs out the middle-east will be no longer needed by european countries and north american countries to provide fuel. This will turn it into economic turmoil and cause the coutries to de-stabilize.

China - If we wanted to, we could take yall out in no time.


You guys are having a bit of Trouble dealing with Iraq, they only have a population of what? 28 million or so? The Chinese are a proud people...they would fight probably just as hard. Just multiply the amount of people willing to make the occupiers lives a living hell and Bam! you got a debacle.

As good as the US is at smacking the **** out of people, they seem to be having a bit of trouble holding territory...dont yell at me, thats just what current events seem to imply

My predictions:

2012 "First World Beer War" between the evil alliance of Budweiser and Miller beers opposed by such tasty rebel beverages as Lion Lager, Guinness, Kilkennys, John Smith, Crown Lager, and Speights.

2017 After 5 years and over a billion casualties, mostly the result of biological warfare(the actual consumption of crap beer like Bud) the first world beer war ends when rebel elements turn St Louis & Milwaukee(the global headquarters of Bud & Miller) into the world's biggest self-lit parking lots with a couple of blackmarket suitcase nukes....thus freeing the world from the oppression of crap beer.

2020 the secret to cold fusion is discovered and shared with the world

15 minutes later cold fusion is weaponized by 87 countries, the West Virginia State Police, and a 14 year old hacker who downloaded it from the internet .....Earth blows up like the Death Star!

[perdurabo]

Aghhh NEVER **** you'r beer i'll go for a Dębowe Mocne ! :) Dębowe will rule the world!

[WARPIG]

Near future.
1 US/Mexico relations become more friendly.(Economically)
2 US slowly gives Iraq control of their country but eventually a military coupe changes the country to a more autocratic or junta style government.
3. World dependancy on oil begins to weaken as independant companies market alternative fuels and transportation.
4. EU economic power strengthens but some old rifts re-open.
5. Nuclear weapons begin to become a big scare between old powers(Russia, US, China) as well as some new ones. Resulting in "Star Wars" technology to come into light.
6. Criminal activity in Latin America will be targeted as terrorist threats.
7. "Rail" technology will become new hot tank weapons in development.
8. Unmanned ground and air vehicles will become integral parts of most modern warfare.
9. North and South Korea will unite creating need for humanitarian aide.
10. New and more horrible acts of terror or genocide will create world focus in Africa.

[MARK.TIGGER]

what i think may happen

1>Germany and France so screw up europe with their dreams it leads to another mainland Franco-German war the rest of europe lets them get on with it and draws up other allances. And strengthen the bonds across the atlantic.

2> The UN falls apart due to its own corruption.

3> Remaining nations in Europe & Canada have to revamp their militaries.

4> New Labour will try to destroy the monarchy in the UK

5> Communism in SE Asia is destroyed by an war between N Korea and China due to the chinese getting twitchy about N Koreas nuclear ambitions.

6> USA wil elect Hillary Clinton President and she will destroy Americas super power status.

1. A nucler device will be detonated within the USA by means of terrorism
Can be or can be not. Possible, however.

2. China will rise as an economic superpower to challange the USA for global market territory and influence.
Probably not, unless they abandon the semi-Communist dictatorship.

3. The political ideal of communism will disseapear. The idea of communism will only be present in History textbooks.
We're on half the way to it. Communist dictatorship are falling year by year and even those who survive abandon the Communist idealogy and behave as fasicts with a red sickle emblem.

4. Africa will fall into a greater state of chaos and starvation that is unparalled to what it is today.
Things in Africa will only get worse.

5. Conventional means of electricity including petrol will run out, putting much of the modern world into a staggering economic depression.
There are oil reserves for about 100 hundred years. Therefore, the Americans are working on alternative sources of energy. Possibilities are solar energy, nuclear energy and hydro-energy. Something that many research is nuclear fusion which can do a revolution in energy. There are also cars that are moved by gas and not by petrol.
Things in israel will only get worse

[Red]

My predictions:
1. The USA no longer is a super power, they now become a beggar nation
2. Europe become the new superpower with a lot of control exercised over it's citizens.
3. Blacks would become enslaved by both whites and latino's
4.Israel and Palestine make peace but israel later gets invaded by both Russian and european forces enforcing a UN resoulution.
5. Africa gets better, breaking of the yoke of US,UK,EU controlled governments in Africa.Eventually getting rid of military junta's and installing Democracy around the world
6. Identification cards will no longer exist, it will now be Chips embedded into peoples hands or foreheads,without them no one can do business
7. There is going to be a WWIII and that would be the mother of all wars.
8. Did i say the US will no longer be relevant
9.Saudi Arabia will have be desatbilised
10. Canada will join the EU
11. Fossil fuels will no longer matter, other sources of energy wil be found

[Operation Ivy]

There is going to be a WWIII and that would be the mother of all wars
