Scientists have pieced together a pretty clear picture of what life was like on Earth thousands, even millions of years ago. If you fast-forward one million years from now, would an alien civilization be doing the same to learn about us? What would Earth look like one million years from now? What remains of human civilization would still be around? And would we end up as clones in a human version of Jurassic Park?

    When I die I would love to see aliens



  2. Tyler Durdin on June 4, 2023 at 1:36 am

    Think about it like as if one generation of our ancestors failed us causing a mass extinction causing us to never exist. That is how we have failed the future. Species are in steep declines with many going extinct every year as we are in an extinction event caused by humans.



  3. Garion Ramsey on June 4, 2023 at 1:38 am

    I don’t think alien will never come to earth



  4. Connor Gahan on June 4, 2023 at 1:41 am

    future dogs might by really teeny tiny to live in miles high apartments and really energy efficient to survive in extreme environment’s due to overpopulation and climate changes



  5. A random masochist on June 4, 2023 at 1:41 am

    By 1 million years if we are not dead we would be a type 3 civilization which would mean we would control the galaxy so yeah



  6. WhatAlsaid! on June 4, 2023 at 1:43 am

    I imagine the earth 1 million years from now would be pretty similar to The Doom of Valyria. We’d be extinct, and all that would be left is the ruins of a once great civilization, but the man made horrors we left behind would probably be still lurking around in all the shadows. If there ever is an interplanetary system in the future, the Earth would probably be a spooky place with all sorts of "and they were never seen again" stories of expedition teams mysteriously losing contact and seemingly got by whatever lives there now.

    If aliens came to Earth a million years in the future, it’s difficult to predict exactly what the outcome would be. It would likely depend on the level of technology and advancement of the alien civilization compared to that of humanity at the time. If the aliens were more advanced, they may be able to easily conquer or dominate humanity. If the two civilizations were roughly equal in technological advancement, it’s possible that they could establish peaceful relations and potentially collaborate on scientific and technological advancements. If the alien civilization was less advanced than humanity, it’s possible that they could be seen as a threat and attacked. Ultimately, it’s impossible to say for certain what would happen in this scenario without more information about the alien civilization and its intentions.



  8. WMTM71 on June 4, 2023 at 1:46 am

    I’m high enough to think we are the aliens



  9. Warrior on June 4, 2023 at 1:48 am

    What if our ancestors were actually the aliens came from other planets and settled on earth and we found on this planet that every living thing here like animals birds e.t.c are much more far in knowledge from us and we’re civilization of technology lol



  10. Kenneth Dela Cruz on June 4, 2023 at 1:48 am

    If alien from the future with higher type civilization they will easily find what happened to human civilization, they will only need world scanner xray they don’t need to dig around the world there tech will scan all part of the earth, a world scanner, it’s easy for them to learn about our planet

  17. All Mix RJ on June 4, 2023 at 1:57 am

    That 1:30 clip, I guess even movie director of that scene wouldn’t got an idea that it can be used these many ways



  18. Duncan Conner Jr on June 4, 2023 at 1:59 am

    If aliens are real they already know what’s going on earth they would say humans white people in particular fucked everything up throughout civilization and one nuke away from killing off billions.



  19. Brett James on June 4, 2023 at 2:00 am

    I can’t wait that long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  20. Dylan Forster on June 4, 2023 at 2:01 am

    My only theory about bringing humans back to life is that dead person consciousness wouldn’t exist. Like no way in a million years we are going to be like what year is it lol, it would be so fascinating to see our planet in the future.



  21. Alparslan Korkmaz on June 4, 2023 at 2:01 am

    Nice video.



  22. Andrew Batts on June 4, 2023 at 2:01 am

    i have heard it said that while we are more than capable of destroying ourselves, nothing we do could ever outright permanently destroy the earth. within a few hundred thousand years everything would be pristine again



  23. Deku on June 4, 2023 at 2:02 am

    Realistically we would be far too advanced for their technology



  24. Eulisis Cadiz on June 4, 2023 at 2:06 am

    we are the alien



  25. spirit.1999 on June 4, 2023 at 2:07 am

  33. MsGodThumbs on June 4, 2023 at 2:17 am

    Why a million years?



  34. CatLikeThief on June 4, 2023 at 2:19 am

    Suggesting they would clone anything for a carnival game where the object is to end the species is so obnoxious and makes me wonder about you.



  35. Kaber on June 4, 2023 at 2:20 am

    This guy trying to sound like Bill Nye



  36. Dipunggol III on June 4, 2023 at 2:23 am

    *"Your Deeds with Real Intent!"*



  38. Lamborghini Legends on June 4, 2023 at 2:25 am

    Fun Fact: the sun would be 0.01% brighter than it is today



  39. Pallavi Ghosh on June 4, 2023 at 2:27 am

    What if Future Humans who have already settled on another planet came to Earth, 1 billion years in the future?



  40. Maths Saar on June 4, 2023 at 2:28 am

    We would be in the Mars and Venus , spreading human life artificially in 100-1000 years in the future.



  41. RV. on June 4, 2023 at 2:28 am

    Why did this turn satirical towards the end lol



  42. Negan_The_Savior on June 4, 2023 at 2:29 am

    Even in 1 million years I would still be an idiot…



  43. prashanth baliga on June 4, 2023 at 2:29 am
