That's when there will be one supercontinent, researchers say, and humans and other mammals will be wiped out. If you think it's hot now, just wait till then. New 'supercontinent' could wipe out humans and make Earth uninhabitable, study suggests | CNN
It’s 100% bet. If we define Homo sapiens as being 300k years old, a new species will likely be defined and emerge well before the 250m mark. I am guessing it will be a curved back humanoid hunched over (tech neck) with a cybernetic carbon / silicon operating system.
With any luck at all we will go extra terrestrial, but even then 250 million years is a long damn time for any species to be around.
Will the Dinosaurs be back in charge? Wasn’t there already a supercontinent and didn’t it break apart and end up with where we are today?
Trippy to think about the Atlantic closing up and Florida ( or what's left of it by then) being landlocked or even being mountains as the continents smash into each other.
Interesting they tie global warming to it saying if we don’t stop now it will be even worse.. Any climate changes due to a Pangea Ultima will be slow, as many have noted we likely will not be here by then as we will have gone ET. With those advances controlling the global temp likely will be easy.
They have a better shot than we do. As self destructive as we are, 250 mil is a big ask. By that time the only evidence we were here at all may be some fossils and a line of crud in the rock strata. None of our infrastructure will last that long.
We should be a multi-reality species well before then... not worried even if I were alive at that level of evolution.
