Culture Story: Future is Now: 8 incredible events that are going to happen until 2050

Time flies. The first half of the 21st century is going to end in about 30 years! As it turns out, even now we can predict some important events that are going to happen until 2050... Here are the most interesting of them today.

#1: The houses in Venice can become unfit for habitation until 2028

According to the scientists, the sea level will rise by 140 cm before 2100! So a great part of the buildings in Venice can be already flooded until 2028. So, the image of the famous historical city is going to change very soon. And we are going to see.

#2: In 2029, an asteroid will come extremely close to our planet

An asteroid called 99942 Apophis will pass us by just 35,000 kilometers... In astronomical terms that's close. Anyway, the humanity will not be hurt - some avalanches will only be caused on the asteroid itself.

#3: New countries may appear on the world map by 2019

For example, Bougainville Island in the Pacific Ocean can gain independence from Papua New Guinea, and New Caledonia (also an island in the Pacific) can also withdraw from France.

#4: By 2020, the tallest (one kilometer high!) building on the planet will be completed

Jeddah Tower, also known as Kingdom Tower, is now being built in Saudi Arabia. In the picture you can see the process of building in 2016.

#5: The first space hotel will be launched in 2020

The demo version of this project is now tested on the International Space station. In 2020, tourists will be able to come there. How much will it cost? We guess a lot.

#6: A SpaceX rocket will be sent to Mars in 2024

As it turns out, Elon Musk, the founder of the company, has a plan to send humans to the Red Planet in 2024.

#7: The population of the planet will increase to 8 billion in 2025

There are approximately 7.4 billion people on Earth today.

#8: The Sagrada Família basilica in Barcelona, Spain is going to be completed in 2026

The foundation stone of this famous unfinished church was laid in 1882, more than 100 years ago!

One thing I have learned is that no matter what you think the future will be like, you're probably wrong. The road ahead has many surprise curves.

Whoever wrote this piece must learn how and when to use the word "until". Further proof to those of you who think this is an American based website that it is not. It's fairly apparent that English is not spoken as a first language. Their English usage is at best, strange and quite often, simply wrong!

It was an interesting read. But the money that’s being spent on these tall buildings that are really necessary could be spent on much more important things. We really don’t know what the future’s going to bring. I won’t be around to see it anyway. Good luck

When was this written? It is already 2022

I like the one about a manned mission to Mars by SpaceEx by 2024. That is an ambitious project to accomplish by the end of the year.

This needs deleting, it’s way out of date 🤪

we're already in the end of may 2023 and a lot of the things you mentioned didn't happen ,

Mattie York-McAlister, I'm reading this Friday and it's 5/26/23! 😊👍

It's actually now March 2023. This should have been updated and the English corrected BEFORE being sent again.

Conrado De Leon

WHAT ABOUT THAT HOTEL IN 2020? THAT'S NOT THE FUTURE, LADS.

JayJay

It's December 2022. Why send this out now? 2019 and 2020 are long gone. The world's population officially reached 8 billion on 15th November, 2022 - THIS YEAR. Also, much of the English is incorrect. '... going to happen BY 2050.' ' ... a great MANY buildings in Venice MAY be ALREADY flooded BY 2028.' 'Houses in Venice COULD become unfit for habitation BY 2028.' '...COULD gain independence ...' '... COULD withdraw ...' 'Anyway, humanity will not ...' *The definite article, THE, is not used in this context.

I was surprised when I saw the rocket being launched on Boca Chica Beach,near Browsville,Tx. I used to go fishing with my Kids there when I lived in South Tx,and there was nothing there.
