Author Topic: What do you think will happen when Humans reach "endgame"?  (Read 1954 times)

Mutually assured destruction is the theory that if two parties have devices that can kill eachother pointed at eachother there will be peace because it is known that if one party fires the other party will also fire and both will be destroyed.

You're saying North Korea will cause world peace?
"North Korea" and "peace" can't be used in the same sentence, man.

It'd actually be pretty simple to destroy Earth's ecosystem with a nuclear war. Fire nukes at a nuclear-capable nation, you have hostile nuclear missiles flying towards you faster than you can say "So THAT'S what the red button does..."

Radioactive fallout, sky-blocking dust clouds, nuclear winter. Very few large animals, like humans, will survive. Assuming both sides fire enough missiles to cause that, that is.

bro are you really doubting that the earth doesn't have enough nukes to cause a fallout?

There is no real life "Endgame" there is always more to research.

I don't doubt that. The US has thousands of nuclear warheads, as does Russia I believe. It's a question about the sides actually fighting, which could be any nation practically in the future with any number of nuclear warheads. Still, you don't start a nuclear war if you know you don't have enough missiles, so I assume that whoever starts it will cause a nuclear winter.

We need to explore the whole universe (or multiple) first, and that may not even end.

And multiple dimensions if they exist (Which could also be infinite).

The volume of the observable universe is 33851926624430623678075554686 98206604798664881562743844982 91195895748644 kilometers.
I don't think so.

Humans will be wiped out before we reach "endgame."

The universe is absolutely enormous. It will take too long to explore that humans will cease to exist.
Space travel over certain distances in some cases is already impossible, in other places will be soon enough. Our universe is limited.

Anyway, I don't see much way that humans would be wiped out like that if we had a few separate self-sustaining colonies in different solar systems or maybe even galaxies. It would require a catastrophe of unparalleled proportions to destroy them all, and while that is still possible, it isn't likely to happen from anything observed.

Well, Humans cannot exactly reach an 'endgame'. Minecraft is a game with predetermined crafting recipes and a predetermined amount of items and things to craft. The universe is infinitely expanding, and with that, new things are being created as we speak. We will likely never run out of things to research and build.

That's just my take on it.

We can always build a metric crapton of spaceships and blow up aliens for recreation and fun 'till the end of time.

When Humans do reach "endgame", we will all die and get a GAME WON screen.

But in all seriousness we probably will just keep on inventing stuff for something new to do.

This

We just start a new game, of course.

North Ko-
DAMNIT!

Essentially we will nuke each other.

Ill be dead before endgame so what does it matter to me.  :cookieMonster:
