Predict the Mankind's future...

I think space colonization will definately take place within the coming 1000 years, unless something truly catastrophic event happen, like if al-Qaeda and the Taliban conquered the world and forced it to revert to seventh century Arabia or something like that.

And there will be more unity in the world, though I doubt that a world government will be formed, or that it is even desirable. Think what imense power it would have. A global confederation would be better. Though there is more likely to be planetary governments on other planets which humanity will colonize (like Mars and Venus), and that is because all of the planets will not be colonized in an instant, but rather, it will be a slow colonization, so a government for a little part of the specific planet will gradually expand its territory until it covers all of it.

And I think the colonies will be melting pots, because all of the inhabitants will be immigrants. Think of USA, which consists of many European nationalities, Africans and a few native Americans. All except the natives are immigrants. Though I can't tell if (more or less) all Americans will eventually merge or not. Israel is also a place that comes to mind, at least in the cultural aspects. The Jews in Israel have in many cases migrated from quite different countries, like eastern Europe, Yemen, north Africa etc, and according to what I've heard, this has left traces at least in Israeli music.

I heard about that theory. It's very troublesome and disturbing. Some novels that I have exaggerate this tragedy that makes it so horrifying... but then... we'd never know how bad if another epidemic spreads again. And, assuming that a new epidemic begins to infect again, it would be in world-wide scale... which never happened before. AIDS, though the process to kill beings is slow, should be considered as epidemic since it killed so many people already... and the death rate is still increasing up to this day.

Not even in the worst declines of civilization people has gone back to stone age. � What will happens is that people worldwide will learn to control theirs fertility, population will age, and -I am pretty sure about this- population will decline sharply in the following centuries aliviating demographic problems. People of the future will be a lot more concern about the genetical quality, education and opportunities of their descendents rather than to mass produce kids. � But I really don't believe nature can get rid of man anymore. The only one that can get rid of our species is man itself. � Pinguin �

    
I just quickly thought of some counter-examples. Atlantis, civilizations (The natives prior to the European contact) in North America, etc.

Great War
The political and economical elite will won the war over the poor countries
An underground force of mutated humans will create the Resistance
The Resistance achieves great victory outside of New York.
The rich retreat to their bunkers,but it's useless,since the world by that time will be destroyed from tactical nukes and Global Warming.

God shave the Queen.
