/me presents the history of earth from the year 2020 untill 2469. 466 years is close enough to 500. Besides, I ran out of ideas...
Quote:
2020: Quantum computers are perfected. The average computer is now the size of a standard paperback book. (OQO Company has one now, 2003. (not quantum, but book sized)). The average quantum computer is so cheap to make, pretty much everybody on earth has one.
2025: After the detection of an ELE (Extinction Level Event) asteroid on a collision course with Earth, the great nations come together to sign a global peace treaty. All nations are now treated equally, all using the same form of currency and laws. Languages between countries are still the same.
2030: A super-massive atomic bomb is sent aboard a Titan V rocket into space, on a collision course with the asteroid. The world hopes and prays that the mission to divert the course of the asteroid into the sun will succeed.
2040: The nuke explodes, and the asteroid is diverted into the sun. The world rejoices. The world is now sent into a second renascence of science and innovation.
2045: Holograms now perfected. Along with the study of quantum computers, the first computer that can calculate data at the speed of light is made. Fossil fuels are now depleted. Most pedestrians walk, ride bikes, or now use hydrogen or solar powered vehicles. Pollution is reduced drastically.
2055: Force fields are now available. FAL quantum computers joined with a hologram and a force field allow for the first holographic beings.
2056: With the advent of holographic people, and with the help of FAL quantum computers, AI is finally develop. They quickly learn their roll, and are accepted into society. They work peacefully with humans.
2057: The holographic AI demand to be given names. It was agreed that they may name their selves as they see fit. They also ask for their race to be known as Holomen. Terms are accepted, and work goes on as normal. The world schedule is but a mere 32 seconds behind schedule.
2060: With the advent of FAS (Fast As Light) quantum computing, a new discovery break through allows for FTL (Faster Than Light) computing. Mars has now had its first person on the planet, and safely returned.
2065: All Holomen are upgraded to FTL processors, free of charge. With the upgrades in place, Holomen become much more efficient. The need for a currency is now gone. Everything is freely available upon need.
2069: To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the moon landing, we pay another visit to the moon. Machinery is left behind to do astronomical studies.
2070: Following the advent of FTL quantum computing, the subatomic particle known as the tachyon is finally proven to exist.
2080: Through trial and error, a way to communicate with no lag between the earth and the moon is developed using tachyons. This channel of communications is now known as, what most old timers would figure: subspace.
2090: After years of research, a way is found to harness the power of the tachyon. Homes are now powered by this unlimited source of power. Nearly microscopic tacyon generators now power everything from computers, to cigarette lighters, to cars and airplanes.
2100: NASA tests it's first deep space probe, which uses an enormous tachoyn drive, code named Voyager X. The mission succeeds in sending the probe to Pluto in a matter of only 23 hours.
2110: A series of VX probes are sent to deploy subspace amps to boost signal for future space missions. These subspace amps extend all the way to the Kuiper Belt.
2115: It is found that after the size of a tachyon generator has reach a certain size, the energy output begins to increase at an exponential rate. Seeing its potential, the extraordinary power is used to produce dampening fields. Large ships are now built, using the largest tachyon engines ever made.
2120: The first human flight to Pluto in the Tachyon Express is a success. Three men traveled to Pluto in a matter of 16.7 hours, with no effects from relativity. Communications with earth was at 110% power, with no lag.
2130: Tachyon engines the size of whole homes now power enormous ships that would dwarf the ancient Titanic ocean liner. With such enormous power, the need for subspace generators are no longer needed, though they are still in use, incase of emergencies. The dawn of solar system human travel, beings.
2150: A Holoman steps forward with a radical design he has been computing for the last 20 years. A design for a tachyon drive. An engine powerful enough to push a ship beyond the speed of light. Using the tachyon engine to power a coil system to generate enough power to bend space and time around the ship, a prototype Tachyon Drive is under construction.
2160: The unmanned ship dubbed Voyager III leaves docking bay and heads for orbit around earth. Once in orbit it sets a path for Pluto. After starting it’s tachyon drive, it is gone in a blink of an eye. Moments later, communications from the ship come in. It has made the trip to Pluto in 1.73 seconds. The test was a success. The ship is brought home moments later.
2161: The first manned flight of the Voyager III takes place. A course is plotted to the star Alpha Centauri. The trip is estimated at 5.27 days. Communications with the ship is held in constant transmission. The flight goes without a hitch. Transmissions are received from the Alpha Centauri star system with 0.192 seconds of lag. The dawn of deep space exploration, begins.
2170: Colonization of other inhabitable planets within a 20 light-year radius of the sun begins. Minerals are mined from lifeless moons around some of these planets and used to produce buildings and space crafts, as well as other useful materials. The same government is carried over to each of these planets, now forming the Federation of Intergalactic Planets: FIPS.
2190: Colonization and exploration now extend to planets within a radius of 300 light-years of earth. At a distance of 284 light-years, staff aboard a ship picked up a distant static in sensors. After clearing the static, it was found to be a broadcast of the old earth song “Silent Night”. The broadcast was found to be the earliest radio broadcast on Earth, broadcasted 284 years ago.
2195: At a distance of 371 light-years from earth, a faint broadcast is heard. It was estimated to have originated 300 light-years ahead of them, at a distance of about 671 light-years from earth.
2200: Investigating the signal discovered 5 years earlier, it is decoded and found to be of intelligent alien origin. One of the newest ships with its crew is sent to investigate. Contact is made with a peaceful alien world, who are only a bit more technologically advanced that us. At the moment of contact, a FIPS wide broadcast is made, which consists of only four words: WE ARE NOT ALONE.
2201: The advancements of the alien species allow them to translate our speech, and they share this technology with us. We quickly learn their language. Meetings are held for an information interchange: they have technology more advanced that us in some areas, we have technology more advanced than they do in some areas.
2210: The alien species, the Derazians, now have the ability for sub-light speed space exploration. They vastly increase their knowledge of their own solar system thanks to the FIPS sharing of the tachyon engine. We now also have a great technological bound, thanks the the Derazians: Instantaneous matter/energy transportation. These quickly take root in almost every home on earth, and within the FIPS system.
2220: the IMATs use very little energy to transfer matter. But they are limited to the size of a planet. When hooked to tachyon engines, it was discovered that it was possible for long range transportation. With advanced computers, a system was made for IMAT in the earth solar system was produced, as well as for solar systems within the FIPS. Ships are rarely used for inter-solar system travel, they are only used for emergencies and scientific exploration and transportation.
2225: It is found that by hooking tachon drives to the IMATs, that travel across the whole FIPS region is possible. Instantaneous transmission within the whole 1,275 light-year radius of the sun greatly reduced the use of space ships. This also made communications lag between the system reduce from five seconds, to zero. Ships are now only use for scientific study, and for the placement of other IMATs.
2240: Three other races of alien species are found. One of which are intelligent, but are only on the technology scale of year 2000 earth. The other two are intelligent, but on the technology scale of 15th century earth. Between Humans, Holomen and Derazians, it is decided that contact would be made, but only very limited technological exchange will be made.
2245: It is found that the star for the Derazian home world is at a critical stage. Within 3 years or so, it will form into a red giant and engulf their home world. A treaty is made through the FIPS that the Derazian people may chose a planet of their liking within the FIPS network and live there. A planet is chosen, and within a year the inhabitants are moved to a new planet, and the Derazians take hold. Life for the Derazians continue peacefully on their new home.
2249: At a safe distance, several ships full of the greatest minds between the Humans, Holomen, and Derazians take advantage to witness the Derazians’ old world star begin forming into a red giant: A never before seen event for either of the races.
2250: Derazians, with help of Humans, now have their own tachyon dive ships. With their help, the FIPS network now extends for 12,000 light-years beyond the Human’s sun. Within the new reaches, seven other intelligent life forms are found. Contact with all but three have been made. One of which, are thousands of years more advanced than Humans.
2260: The more advanced species, the Zolan, are not fond of either the Derazians, Humans, or Holomen. A feud between the Zolan and the Humans, Holomen and Derazians take place.
2270: The feud breaks into war. The Derazian species are nearly wiped out, and countless Human/Holomen settlement plantes within the FIPS have become desolate and uninhabitable. Humans and Holomen use an array of IMATs along with some of the most powerfull tachyon drives available and set up a sort of ring in space. Using technology from some crash landed Zolan ships, the array is cloaked. A cloaked Human ship is sent to the center of the Milky Way and set up a second array. The second array is set on the edge of the event horizon of the galactic black hole.
2271: As a fleet of Zolan ships approach the last of 200 human strongholds, the array is activated, creating a worm hole that exits at the event horizon the the galactic black hole. With no time to retreat, the entire Zolan fleet is at an instant, shoved into the event horizon. It is a victory for the Human/Holomen race, and what little is left of the Derazians.
2275: Having rebuilt most of the planets in the FIPS network, the last of the Derazians make a plea: Save our people. It is decided that in order to help do so, they will use technology left behind from the Zolan to clone, along with breeding humans and Derazians to form a new breed.
2280: The first Human/Derazian is born: A Humazian.
2290: The Derazian race is nearly back on its feet. There are also thousands of Humazians now thriving on earth alone. The Humazians are extremely strong, and age much slower than that of normal Humans and Derazians. They become a valuable asset to the FIPS military force.
2300: After 245 years of peace, many Holomen come forward and say they are being treated unfairly, and they are being used as salves. News of this travels throughout the now 23,192 light-year diameter FIPS network, and an uprising of Holomen begin. A law is brought into effect stating that all Holomen will be treated as the rest of the inhabitants, that the work force will be equal.
2305: The Holomen law does not work, humans too accustom to Holomen doing the work, a civil war breaks out. The non-Holomen death toll rises quickly, as their force fields make them impenetrable to conventional weapons. Massive EMP’s are generated around the FIPS network and all Holomen are deactivated.
2310: The usage of Holomen are outlawed. They are deemed too dangerous to have operating. It is proposed that Holomen be stripped of an AI and be used as personal assistants. The Holomen are quickly brought back into business, but AI-less, posing no harm.
2315: A single probe carrying an IMAT is sent on its way twards the Andromeda galaxy. At it’s current speed, it is estimated to take 75 years to reach its destination. The IMAT is powerd by 10 massive tachyon engines to ensure communications can be established.
2320: The FIPS network now extends to a quarter of the Milky Way galaxy. There are now over 150 known intelligent species in this known section, and hundreds more semi-intelligent (pre 1300’s earth history). Societies of these 150+ species co-exist peacefully, throughout the FIPS network.
2330: A piece of complex Zolan technology from the war, was finally reverse engineered and understood how it worked. The technology allowed its users to be telepathically connected to others. This greatly increased the knowledge of the races within the FIPS network. Engineered to work along with IMATs, communications can be made on a person-wide basis, or personal basis.
2350: For an unknown reason, all of the older FIPS network plants have had a sharp, sudden decrease of oxygen levels, and an increase of nitrogen. For this reason, Earth, and most earlier planets become uninhabitable, and the people of these planets move to newer plants within the FIPS network.
2370: It is discovered that the Tachyon particles in the drives and engines are decaying. And in the process emitting particles that are eating oxygen at a tremendous rate. An immediate ban on tachyon devices is set in place. The FIPS network must now revert to early 20th century fuels to travel. Solar panels now operate IMATs, but they are only good now for planetary communications and transmission of energy/matter. Communications between FIPS now rely on old subspace transmissions, with lag times of up to 3 hours (subspace communications require no engines, only tachyons to store and transmit data. No pollution is caused by this.).
2383: The engines of the Zolan ships are reverse engineered to see how they work. It is discovered that they use an Anti-matter generator to generate massive amounts of deuterium anti-mater, and collide them with deuterium, producing an extreme amount of energy. Old tachyon drive ships are fitted with matter/anti-matter reactors to power the coils for FTL travel. Though much larger than tachyon engines, matter/anti-matter power plants are produced on the planets of the FIPS network, and IMAPs are 100% operational.
2395: With over 98% of the Milky Way explored, and over 600 alien species within the FIPS, it is time to explore beyond the Milky Way. The IMAT that was sent off 80 years earlier activates itself and gains contact with the FIPS network. Once contact was made, a series of 3,000 more FIPS are transmitted through with onboard FTL computers with instructions to form a ring. Each FIPS is powerd be 20 massive matter/anti-matter drives. The ring of FIPS that was once located at the event horizon of the Milky Way’s galactic black hole now have been destroyed, the first ring is now fitted with massive matter/anti-matter drives and aimed towards the Andromeda galaxy. Both rings activate to form a wormhole extending to the Andromeda galaxy. A junk ship was successfully sent to and from Andromeda, with a lag of only 8 minutes.
2396: Fleets of FIPS network ships travel through the wormhole twards the Andromeda galaxy, upon arrival, scouting out new inhabitable planets. Within three years, whole networks of MITS are set up to form various wormhole connections between various parts of both galaxies have been made.
2400: With a vast part of the Andromeda galaxy now known, and many more races joining the FIPS network, a new renaissance of understanding and science is under way. Cures for diseases throughout the races are discovered; the human life span is 129 years and the average Humazian life span is 212 years. Peace is throughout the two galaxies.
2420: The next evolutionary step in Humans is observed. The humans brain capacity is now 250% above what it used to be. Average human height is 5’9”, and over-all strength is comparable to the Humazians. The human skin is tougher and more resistant to radiation and can stand heat of up to 328 degrees Fahrenheit.
2430: Salvage trips to the earth are under way. Many relics are brought back to main FIPS planets for archiving and preservation. New machines are placed on earth, as well as various other planets that were destroyed during the war of 2270 to rebuild the atmosphere. Millions of super-Holomen are built to reconstruct buildings.
2440: Earth is once again habitable and within weeks, it is repopulated. Upon rebuilding earth, Holomen from various places uncover time capsules left from old earth, dates ranging from the early 1800’s to the 2020’s. These items are placed within a new museum built on earth to honor the men that came before them. During the war of 2270, many archives were lost. History was forgotten. These relics contained enough information for humans to understand and learn about their past.
2450: Technology has slowed to a halt. Nothing further has been discovered or invented that advanced beyond what is already known. The various species of the FIPS focus on advancing knowledge and understanding, as well as entertainment.
2460: The FIPS now extends throughout 12 galaxies. Thousands of species have joins the FIPS network, most of which live in harmony. Wars break out between a few. Though causing massive damage, the wars are resolved within a relatively short time.
2469: to commemorate the first moon landing in earth’s history, a replica of the Apollo 11 is built and sent blasting towards space. Billions of trillions of people across the FIPS network watch this event, as three Human people once again step foot back on the moon. The original flag is found, and next to it, a modern flag and plaque are placed next to it, as well as a disc containing history from the past 500 years.
