21、ern Hemisphere. This was a world in the midst of the Little Ice Age and a period of vast European exploration now known as the Age of Discovery.But what if we could look 500 years into the future and glimpse the Earth of the 26lh century? Would the world seem as different to us as the 21st century w

22、ould have seemed to residents of the 16 century? For starters, what will the weather be like?Depending on whom you ask, the 26th century will either be a little chilly or extremely hot.

26、ficantly since the 1500s, and this pace will likely continue in the centuries to come. Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600, this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds. If Moored Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double

27、every 18 months, then some of these studies may be the work of highly intelligent machines.What other technologies will shape the world of the 26th century? Futurist and author Adrian Berry believes the average human life span will reach 140 years and that the digital storage of human personalities

28、will enable a computerized state of living forever.

39、ller whales in Alaskas Bering Sea have figured out an easy way to get fed.
