If humanity entirely extinct ...

<wbr> <p> Popular science books in the United States is not our world "by vessman to Beijing to the worst happens, life goes on </ p> <p> Allen · vessman heads is not high, there is a chestnut curly .hair, frowning when entire forehead are convex. </ p> He speaks with New York Accent English, like any one just like foreigners come to China and Chinese friends talking about Chinese food. For writing the world without us, he visited more than 40 .countries, the inquiry was forgotten human civilization: the nuclear leaks have occurred in Chernobyl, 38th demilitarized zone, Poland's original forest. He had to many scientists put forward the same question: "if man disappears, what will become of the world <p> .The investigation begins with "compositions" </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> "This is the conclusion of the book: If there is no human nature will live well, but was unable to leave the nature .of humanity. </ p> "Vessman very touched that he did not expect myself to the end of the book, will produce such strong emotions. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> As media written by vessman wrote various .articles, such as the US-Mexico border, Colombia's utopian town, supernatural force, etc. </ p> He even wrote a personal family secret, investigate the killing of his grandfather's murderer. Then, science has always been one of the topics of .concern to him. He has written an article on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 60 years after the present article. Later, "Discovery" magazine editors looking to bring a question: "if all the places have been abandoned, it would be?" .<p> <wbr> </ p> <p> This is the beginning of everything. </ p> To answer this question, he wrote for the magazine an article. For the next three years, with a press of the financing, .vessman visited more than 40 countries, respondents including the archaeologist, construction engineers, biologists, art activists, diamond miners, marine biologist, ASTRO-physicist, and eventually a complete answer to this question. <p> <wbr> </ p> < .p> Humanity will eventually disappear, the Earth will cure </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> So many scientific predictions do? vessman has done is not complicated, just ask a question: "mankind disappears, .what will happen? "this is an imaginative problem, many people answer the questions, you will follow with great interest and asked him to other scientists said. </ p> The answers to these questions formed the core of the book content. <p .> <wbr> </ p> <p> Metro workers tell vessman, if there is no constant with the pump to draw out the water, New York, the weakest link in the Metro and a half hours will be submerged and not out of .the three days of the whole city is a flood, and plant growth is everywhere. </ p> Architects tell vessman, auto-demolition of the House of the principle is very simple, as long as you drill a hole on the roof, rainwater .from the hole in the shed, the corrosion off the cement and steel materials. The engineer told him, no one the maintenance of the bridge, the steel enamel, expansion joints be dust blocking, at most two or three centuries, then tough bridge will .collapse. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Archaeologists told him that it disappears, elephants and other wildlife will suddenly grows up. </ p> Environment physicists told him that humans disappears, excessive carbon uptake by the oceans, .but about 10 million years after carbon dioxide levels will be restored to the level of prehistory. Materials scientist told him that humans disappears, billions of plastic bags are everywhere in the Bob only to millions of years later, will appear as a prey species. < .p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Museum Administrator told him that the famous decoloration decomposition over time, but save a good paper may be as long as Egypt parchment, ceramic because constituents and fossils, so also can maintain more than one .century, bronze is no more, and the radio waves are always present in the universe. </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> There are also some sad for the interviewer. </ p> Like lived .in Chernobyl, unwilling to leave their homes for the elderly. For example, a person named LesKnight, he was a kind and wise scientists. He believed that humanity is a failure, on the Earth's best way is to stop childbearing, voluntary and slowly to .extinction, "so that each year the Earth will become more and more beautiful." Vessman felt his sad but respect, but he is more willing to see, is in the appropriate population of harmonious coexistence with the Earth. Vessman support another scientist says: ."like any one species, the extinction of the human will, I'm not worried about this, and even if people do a lot of bad things, but the Earth still be cured." This gave him the book of revelation, keynote provides .it and he said, "in writing this book, I felt hopeless, but when I'm this painting on the last period, I hope." <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Nature cannot tolerate great changes < ./ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> The hope and serenity is he gradually found in the journey. </ p> Most impress his place as one of Poland's original forest. Because no one bothered many years, .there has a rare diversity of plants. "I saw all my life I have not seen the tree, this is you will never be forgotten moments feel like home. When natural spread around you, when the plant way according to their own growth, this .is like a sacred experience. "Vessman feel at them in the origin of life, he took the place of the content in the book's first chapter. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Not only in the nature reserve of .the scene, even in New York City so, vessman also found an abandoned subway, solely on the basis of a distant and flying dust into the small amount of soil, flowers everywhere here already, the Apple tree growth, became the center of the city ."a green belt". </ p> Have suffered a civil war in Cyprus, for 33 years uninhabited area, he also saw the trees grow out from the roof, sidewalk side full of wild flowers. "Not out of the 500 years of .time, all human city will become the paradise of plants. "This is his conclusion that theHe is very happy. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Animals will come back. </ p> The Korean peninsula in the .middle of the demilitarized zone was Asia many wildlife refuge. Red-crowned cranes in the world's only 1100 species, but most are in the "Peace Park" for the winter. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Ukraine in .the Chernobyl explosion due to nuclear facilities had been subjected to strong radiation. </ p> Although some bridge still hot to pass through, vessman or see a lot of moose, Bobcats and radiation of wild deer live there. Nuclear power plant near a vole ., short life cycle than the original, but increasingly of child-bearing age, growing more and more. In fact, animals and plants can be adapted by variation to the surrounding environment, nature can tolerate great changes. <p> <wbr> < ./ p> <p> "I walk everywhere, including the pollution the most serious place, now has a wild species occupy, humans destroy the surrounding environment process has lasted for thousands, tens of thousands of years, but mother nature always has the ability .to recover. </ p> The worst thing happened, but life will continue. "<p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Vessman likes to cite the example of the dinosaurs to emphasize the rebound of life," asteroid Earth ., Earth 95 per cent of biological extinction, millions of years later, some small creature walked to the ground, we ushered in the era of huge dinosaurs millions of years later, another asteroid hit the Earth, the dinosaurs are extinct, but then also ushered .in the new era. </ p> "<p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Human spirit left were full of things </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Vessman to more .than 40 countries, conduct research, in his bibliographic references, reference books, 237 87 a thesis. </ p> He used a real scientist attitude in writing this book. However, the way, he has been a kind of spiritual things. The .same as the garden of Eden from Poland primeval forest, he hoped that the reader can feel that science is developing, but some things humans will never know. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Some of the interviewee is religious .. </ p> He and the dialogue has also been a source of inspiration. A Japan Buddhist monks from his book, see "everything is empty" philosophy, he had never heard of this, but think it is very reasonable. <p> .<wbr> </ p> <p> Science and religion will have blend. </ p> Vessman said that recently a lot of scientists and religious circles dialogue, discuss the nature and the universe. Next April, he will attend an astronomer and .religious persons participated in the Conference, a meeting of the "serious", "serious scientists and religious people," they will discuss how to explore the universe. His next book, may be the content of science and religion. <p> <wbr .> </ p> <p> There is one thing that science can't explain, that is art. </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> "When I listened to Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, I .believe that God exists, because I do not believe that the mankind will create such a beautiful thing, and even Beethoven knows this, he scores on the edge of a row of words written: "this is not what I write '. </ p .> "<p> <wbr> </ p> <p> A great music, a saved picture, bronze, cosmic radio waves in the echos, these are human civilization a little fragment, millions of years past," survived not only plastic .bags and other dirty things, also has beautiful, full of spirit. </ p> "<p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Vessman written manuscript first reader is his wife, a bronze artist, the thought of his wife's .work more than their survival on the tens of millions of years, he would find it very beautiful. </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Interviews / reporter Kim Yu </ p>.
