Just a drop in the ocean

They say the universe started with a big bang

Around 13.8 Billion years ago

Modern humans only evolved 200,000 years ago

Which is only a small fraction in the life of the universe

0.00001% to be exact

But the pace of our technological development is stunning

If the people of say 1900 could see how we live today they would be impressed

But those of a few hundred years ago would consider us to be witches and wizards

Will it be the same for us today if we could visit the distant future

Will humans be wiped out by some cataclysmic event

Replaced by swarms of AI robots

Who will build spaceships to explore other galaxies

Unconstrained by human life support systems

They will travel for indefinite periods

Eventually meeting up with other lifeforms in the universe

Telling stories about planet earth

Describing the beautiful landscapes

The vast range of plants and animals

And the brief period of human existence
