Wat zou er met de Aarde gebeuren als de mensheid plots verdween? De makers van Mind Warehouse beschreven het in bovenstaand filmpje. Elektrische toestellen stoppen met werken. Huisdieren verwilderen. Gebouwen verkruimelen, tot uiteindelijk ieder spoor van ons bestaan is uitgewist.
What would happen if humans were wiped out: a timeline
- A few hours later: most of the lights around the world will shut off because power plants would run out of fuel and solar panels would eventually get covered in dust. The only power plants still running would be hydroelectric stations.
- Two or three days later: most underground train systems would flood because the pumps keeping water out would stop working.
- Ten days later: pets and farm animals would die off while packs of big dogs would form to hunt down other animals.
- A month later: the cooling water in nuclear power stations would have evaporated. This would lead to a series of disasters across the world, stronger than Fukushima and Chernobyl.
- One year later: satellites around Earth will start to fall from their orbit, creating strange ‘stars’ in the sky.
- Twenty five years later: vegetation will cover the world with some cities being buried in sand.
- Three hundred years later: metal buildings, bridges, and towers will start to break apart because of corrosion.
- 10,000 years later: the only evidence of our existence will be the things we’ve made with stone like the pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall of China and Mount Rushmore.
