The article examines a range of trends in the realm of disaster-related information. It addresses the changing nature of our civilization, the vulnerability of populations, and the protective measures that may be implemented. Additionally, it considers the global evolution of research directions in this field, as presented in bibliometric analysis.
The context provided on the long-term trends in disasters is particularly those linked to disease outbreaks.
Colliders and synchrophasotrons
In the recent disaster, cities were inundated with soil, necessitating extensive excavation. The solution implemented this time was radical: the underground installation of large magnets, such as colliders and synchrophasotrons, coupled with the aerial dispersion of metals possessing magnetic properties. These magnetic systems are scheduled to operate for precisely twelve hours, coinciding with the period when gravity vanishes. The magnets aim to anchor the soil, which has been dusted with metallic powder. The unusual magnetic luminescence observed in non-typical latitudes and displaying uncommon colors likely stems from trial activations of these magnetic setups.
Simultaneously, the population in the territory of the arks is diminishing. People are absorbing metal particles from the air and through food sources, as metals are present in medicines, dietary supplements, and food. Metal detectors installed at the entrances of public spaces are allegedly forming metal nanoparticles within individuals, leading to metal structures that can damage tissues. It is claimed that these structures break down outside the magnetic fields of the detectors, rendering them undetectable during autopsies, with several reported cases of death due to severe bleeding on airplanes.
Robotization
The advancement of technology and robotization ensures that social processes continue uninterrupted, even with the sudden removal of any “cog.” As a significant decline in population is anticipated, robots are expected to assume critical social functions, ensuring the transition is seamless and unnoticed.
For individuals displaced from the workforce by technological advancements, numerous activities have been devised: parks, simulators, games, volunteer opportunities, training, creative pursuits, and metaverses. To sustain a standard of living for these individuals, they will receive a personal basic income, with digital currency enabling the specification of the duration and allocation of benefits.
Cities are preparing for robots and UAVs by leveling roads and installing special guiding elements, similar to those used for the visually impaired. This includes setting up networks underground, replacing old, sprawling trees with younger ones, or removing trees altogether. It is likely that 5G will be the network utilized by these robots.
Housing and migration centers
Housing preparations on the territory of the arks have been underway. Some have been facilitated through the issuance of mortgages to locals, while others have been reconstructed as new 5G cities. It remains unclear whether these are intended for migrants arriving before a potential catastrophe or for a new civilization, as there may be no one available to build afterwards. Additionally, migration centers, colloquially known as ‘covid camps,’ have been established for migrants prior to the disaster.
Genetic experiments
Genetic experiments may become necessary if a catastrophe leads to reduced oxygen and pressure, necessitating the creation of a new type of human. These individuals might be shorter, with a reduced lifespan compared to the previous civilization’s average of ~300 years. Historical records, such as the Bible, suggest even earlier civilizations had lifespans of 700-900 years. It is conceivable that those who survived planned for centuries ahead, possibly equipping themselves with oxygen generators and compressors.
Artificial wombs
Artificial wombs and incubators have been developed for the swift reproduction of genetically modified humans in significant numbers.
Education
Educational standards are undergoing changes. With a projected decrease in life expectancy, all life stages, including the length of education, are expected to shorten, potentially impacting intelligence levels. New, simplified educational programs are in development. Notably, the Singaporean education system has been created, where children educate each other under the supervision of a teacher, and eventually, a robot (Childhood – 2030).
Artificial installations
Artificial barriers are erected, and artificial islands are safeguarded against water. Consider the thousands of tons of water and soil that would plummet into the ocean upon gravity’s reinstatement and the subsequent land displacement. Consequently, coastlines and islands pose a risk.
Space debris
Introducing space debris tracking technologies for online monitoring of flying debris to mitigate missile threats.
Supertelescopes
Constructing supertelescopes is crucial for the early detection of comets, allowing for further calculations and the adjustment of precautionary measures.
Satellite networks
The development of satellite networks by Musk and others serves as a contingency plan in case of issues with Musk’s satellites. These satellites are equipped with 3D cameras, not for the purpose of tracking individuals, but to monitor significant alterations in the Earth’s surface, which is crucial for the protection of settlements.
It is claimed that where Musk’s satellites operate, internet distribution occurs over military frequencies. Typically, these frequencies are restricted for civilian use, but exceptions have been made, purportedly to support the narrative surrounding Musk’s satellite projects.
Transport system
Transforming the transportation system involves phasing out oil refining and storage, shifting away from gasoline-powered technologies. This includes the adoption of electric vehicles, leading to a decrease in road transport. Additionally, there will be an expansion of public transportation. Elite vehicles will transition to wireless energy or perpetual energy sources.
Smoking ban
The smoking ban, carbon footprint tracking by 2030, and the construction of oxygen stations and covidariums are all significant developments. By 2030, the focus will be on tracking oxygen, not carbon, due to the advent of artificial atmosphere technology. Smoking in dome and underground cities will naturally be prohibited. Thus, the smoking ban is not solely for health reasons. Covidariums equipped with oxygen supplies will be beneficial under the new conditions, while current covid wards are being decommissioned.
Water and hydroponics
Water is expected to become increasingly scarce. Open water sources are likely to face contamination. Continental seas, drained to their limits, may refill in the event of a catastrophe. Meanwhile, the development of hydroponics is advancing.
Food
Alteration in diet. Advancements in agricultural and livestock technologies. Degradation of natural flora and fauna. Decline in pet ownership.
Deforestation
Deforestation is a controversial method to mitigate the risk of large fires. Before a disaster occurs, it ensures that potential fuel is already consumed.
Hydrogen
The introduction of hydrogen technologies is underway. Currently, grants are stimulating the development of these technologies, ensuring there is a market for hydrogen. However, there is a likelihood of reverting back to oil and methane. The abundance of these resources in times of catastrophe necessitates their utilization between such events.
Paper is gone
The destruction of paper documents and the transition to digital formats may lead to the erasure of history.
Floating cities
Floating cities, migration vessels, and prison ships are concepts for the mass transportation of people, which can be utilized before and after a disaster occurs.
15-minute cities
The concept of 15-minute cities envisions a community where essential services are within a 15-minute reach, promoting a shift towards more sustainable living and reducing the need for long commutes. This approach aims to enhance urban life by creating a network of self-sufficient neighborhoods, rather than moving communities under a dome in anticipation of a disaster.
Underground fashion
The recent uncovering of multiple ancient underground cities previously mothballed has sparked a surge in bunker and underground construction, including tunnel roads. Additionally, there has been an organization of underground storage facilities.
Artificial light
Artificial light sources have been developed and will prove beneficial in underground resorts.
Dome cities
Dome cities, cube cities, and city-lines, along with hermetically sealed houses, lunar and Martian stations, and lunar rovers, are technologies designed for post-catastrophic scenarios.
Space exploration
The space industry is not solely focused on lunar or Martian expeditions; it is also preparing for Earth-based contingencies following disasters that could deplete the air and reduce atmospheric pressure.
Compression suits
In our civilization, people may roam the Earth in compression suits and oxygen masks, reminiscent of the ancient astronauts.
