Have you ever wondered how many people have died over the entire course of history?
And have you wondered what would happen if somehow…all of those people came back to
life?
Cuz I have, and believe me, its not good.
Hello and welcome back to life’s biggest questions, the channel that asks the fundamental
questions of life, and occasionally we answer them too.
If you’re lucky.
I’m charlotte dobre, and if this is you’re first time here, thanks for clicking on this
video, hopefully I’ll earn your subscription by the end of our time together.
Right now, the global population is 7.7 billion people.
That’s a lot of people, it’s the most people that have ever been alive in the history
of the earth.
Humans have been around for a few hundred thousand years, 200 thousand if you wanna
get technical.
But even if that’s the case, 7.7 billion people is only 7 percent of all the people
that have ever lived.
That’s right, 7 percent.
If 7.7 billion people is only 7 percent, and the rest of those people came back to life,
well, suddenly there are 108 billion people living on planet earth.
There would be good parts about everyone that’s ever lived coming back to life.
We would finally get a chance to talk to great people who have lived, like Julius caesar,
Cleopatra, Elizabeth the First, King George, Nefertiti, Jesus Christ.
And that’s just to name a few.
I definitely would love to ask Elizabeth the first a few questions.
Ever lost someone you love?
Yeah, suddenly they are alive again.
How wonderful would that be?
I would give anything to be able to spend more time with my grandmother who recently
passed, but at what cost?
Would I be willing to plunge all the inhabitants of earth into a state of starvation to get
to spend more time with my grandmother?
Scientists predict that our planet can support a maximum amount of 10 billion people, and
we’re on track to reach that amount of people by the year 2100.
That’s not that far away, but theres still more than 80 years ahead for us to figure
out what the heck to do about our growing population and where we’re going to put
everyone.
Sure, there’s plenty of land that’s uninhabited on planet earth.
Throughout the course of history, most people lived in rural areas, until very recently,
and rural areas is where most of the resurrected would return to.
There’s plenty of space in Canada, in antartica, in Russia.
But Not everyone is prepared for a life in the blistering cold.
Perhaps there would be a way to build on top of oceans…actually wait.
That’s a stupid idea, forget I said that.
Maybe we would start to build upwards, there are plans to build giant skyscrapers into
the stratosphere.
But we are nowhere near capable of building even one tower that goes into space, let alone
the thousands needed to house 108 billion people.
Maybe our only solition would be to colonize the moon or mars and move people to other
worlds.
But space travel is extremely expensive, and it takes time.
We would be lucky if we could manage to put a few thousand people in a colony on mars,
let alone several billion people.
If 108 billion people lived on earth, very few people would be allowed to have children.
Forget 1 child policy like there is in china, there would be a no child policy.
Government officials would order the execution of any and all children who were born in secret,
and that would undoubtedly cause anger among civillians.
But what other choice would they have?
Our planet cannot sustain 108 billion people.
The reason why scientists say that 10 billion is the max, is because we just don’t have
enough food to feed that many people.
With 7.7 billion people currently living, we have cultivated about a 3rd of the worlds
arable land.
You do the math.
So what would happen?
Well, 90 percent of that 108 billion would live in unspeakable conditions and likely
die from starvation.
But not before theres a gigantic world war over resources.
Sure, there would be billions and billions of people that could be sent off to war, but
that also means that there would be billions and billions of deaths as a result of that
war.
Eventually, all the people who couldn’t find something to eat would eventually starve
and die too, and the earths population would level out at 10 billion people.
And even then, all the people that are left would still have a pretty crappy life.
There would be way too many people, not enough work, not enough space and not enough food
to go around.
Lets hope we figure out whats going to happen to all 10 billion people in the year 2100.
But now I open up the question to you dear subscribers.
What do you think would happen if everyone came back to life?
Why don’t you tell me about a deceased historical figure who you would love to talk to if you
could.
For now, I’m going to wrap up this video with some comment features from my last video
on this channel, what if we find aliens in area 51.
Ian – omg you know exactly whats gonna happen and I love it.
I pride myself on my ability to predict the future.
Ron c – for some strange reason I met up with charlotte in my dreams last night and
we talked about random stuff.
I forgot the details.
But it was a cool meetup.
I just remembered she was Caucasian with dark brown and short curly hair.
I am Caucasian but I actually have short red curly hair.
Pretty close tho.
The outsider – chances are we’d find no intelligent alien life.
Knowing our luck, we’d just free some sort of alien parasite that infects the entire
planet and kills us all.
Arent you just a ray of sunshine.
But I actually kind of agree with you.
