What will happen in 500yrs/ how will it be in 500yrs?

Earth will look a little like this:

If we haven't done ourselves in with a nuclear war. I'm hoping everyone will realize that they are ass holes (including myself) and will just drop all these bull crap beliefs that keep getting everyone killed. There probably won't be any water left or oil in 500 years either.

the Imperium will rule holy Terra under the The God-Emperor of Mankind. Where we all follow Imperium rule without question. Because we will view our emperor as a god anything that will challenge his authority will be viewed as a heresy. The emperor will set a standard of the only way to achieve salvation will be the destruction of his enemies. So we will become a militaristic society fighting and killing anything that isnt human or isnt following the God-Emperor of Mankind rule.

On a positive note there will finally be space marines so thats is something to look forward to.

Hopefully we will have better cellsphone reception.

How I see 2509.

Space travel will by then be advanced, with scientific colonies on the Moon and Mars. Earth will be a cesspool. At this point, the world will be over-populated.(lets say 30 billion, which is a VERY conservative number.) Almost everyone will live in massive super-cities made of tall skyscraper apartments(a mile or two high)that house thousands. There is no personal transportation, only public transit(probably trains and helicopters or other vertical take-off aircraft.). Most will be poor or lower-middle class. World will be made of large empires / federations, and taking into account trends in modern nations(i'm looking at you England) they will all probably dictatorships / oligarchies. Crime, disease, famine and war will be a daily thing. Good chance for a one child only birth control policy.Average life expectancy will be 40-50 years if your lucky.

On the other hand, the rich, the politicians and the generally lucky ones will live in space stations. They will probably live luxurious lives. Average life expectancy will be 125 years. Also I'm guessing resources on Earth have been completely exhausted and there will be mining on Mars and the surrounding asteroid belt. Said mining will be carried out by pseudo-slaves, most likely people from earth trying to escape and to help their families. Average life expectancy will be 30 years.

tl;dr :Life on Earth will be shit, life on other planets will be even shittier and the rich will live long, safe but empty lives in space.

My guess is it's a trick question. There are so many different things that will happen in such a long time that it is completely ridiculous to predict it. However, if greenhouse gases continue to rise as they are now, nuclear was will have ensued between Pakistan an India (first of many) nuclear war will occur between many different factions and generally humanity will barely be a blip in the radar screen, if it still exists. You'd have to be living on Ellesmere Island or Antarctica. Here's the link. http://www.int.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=31&art_id=vn20070204092500226C199716

All cities will look like this. Also, we will all live in the Pegasus Galaxy, and will have space ships and stargate and ....nerdgasm

Earth will look a little like this:

With greenhouse gases rising as they are, I regret to say that that will be true of equatorial regions.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

The place where earth was will be nothing.

My beard would reach EPIC proportions.

Canada will be the superpower and have all the other countries enslaved.
Except Australia, they're in on the plan with them.
And Japan. Because it's Japan.

Oh, and there will be dinosaurs.
