NASA predicts collapse of civilization in the coming decades

According to The Independent, a group of American scientists from the research center SESYNC to order NASA has conducted a number of studies, which resulted in the disappointing fact: in the coming decades, civilization will crumble due to the depletion of the planet's resources, as well as because of their uneven distribution.



If the current rate of development, which are taking place today, and following the established strategy of consumption and redistribution of wealth and resources, mankind follows in the footsteps of civilisations, of which remain but a distant memory. And the threat from space nothing to do with, – says one of the authors of Safa Motierre, a specialist in applied mathematics SESYNC.

For the study, published edition of Ecological Economics, the researchers used an interdisciplinary model HANDY that they were created in close cooperation with experts in the field of natural Sciences and sociology. As an example, scientists from SESYNC brought the fall of the Roman Empire on the basis of which proved the fragility of modern civilization and the questionable possibility of its sustainable development. The main factors that need to destroy civilization, U.S. researchers call the changing climate, increasing population and competition for water and food resources.

These three underlying causes indirectly affect some accessories, such as the issue of energy efficiency and the decline of agriculture, which will lead together to the sunset of mankind, if not to remove two risks: the obvious stratification of society into rich and poor, resource depletion due to excessive burden on the environment.

At all times these factors led to the collapse of existing empires, so our civilization will be no exception – convinced scientists from SESYNC. Now most resources are consumed by a numerical minority of the so-called elite, and producing these resources are on the brink of survival. Rescue scientists see in technical progress, which, paradoxically, led to the current situation. While the growth of agriculture gave rise to only increase resource consumption, which could mean two scenario.





In the first scenario the simple hunger of the crowd will lead to a complete loss of natural resources, the second scenario assumes a lethal exhaustion of the crowd because of the disparity of the distribution of the same resources. But both the development outcome is called the death of civilization as a result of economic collapse. However, loud statements of the scientists of America science the world community met pretty cool. In particular, the well-known Professor and geologist, candidate of geological-mineralogical Sciences Boris Fridman said he did not consider the facts, published by the American colleagues, the reason for the panic, and the approaching end of the world called the next political move.

According to the scientist, all the resources of humanity can easily be replaced. Now to replace carbon based fuels comes to alternative energy, the equivalent of the meat learned to produce in the laboratory of vegetables, and the vegetables grown using genetic engineering. Technical progress has its advantages that can save humanity – says Boris Fridman. Even disasters brought by climate change, mankind has already once held, as all the processes of the planet are cyclical. So people can survive the worst damage that nature can inflict, and doomsday will never come.
