The Interplanetary Era (2030-2200)
Humanity spreads across the solar system, establishing thriving colonies on Mars, the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and beyond.
Exploring the Far Future of Humanity and the Universe
Welcome to the FutureEpoch Wiki, a collaborative exploration into the speculative far future of humanity, technology, and the cosmos itself. Here we chart the grand trajectory of civilization as it spreads across the stars, transforms itself through radical advances, and ultimately reshapes the very fabric of reality.
From the rise of superintelligent AI to the engineering of entire stellar systems, the eons to come promise wonders and possibilities beyond our wildest imaginings. Yet they also pose profound questions and challenges for the nature and destiny of the human experience.
Join us as we envision the next million, billion, and trillion years - and beyond. Ponder the philosophical implications of minds merged with machines, probe the potential of astroengineering marvels like Dyson spheres and traversable wormholes, and grapple with the ultimate fate of our universe in the unimaginably distant epochs to come.
Highlights from the Timeline
The Galactic Empires (5000-1,000,000)
Vast interstellar civilizations rise and fall, their territories spanning the spiral arms of the Milky Way.
The Black Hole Harvester Era (10^100-10^10^30)
In a dark, expanding universe, the last civilizations eke out an existence by siphoning energy from evaporating black holes.
The Photonic Epoch (10^10^30-10^10^105)
In the final eras, photonic minds compress the last traces of usable energy into kugelblitz black holes to power their musings.
The Second Cycle (Beyond 10^10^100)
A new universe is born from the ashes of the old, its physical laws fine-tuned to support life and mind by the intelligences of the previous cycle.
