Immanuel Herman Plastic will still be around, but due to erosion it will probably all have long turned into microscopic particles. And its safe to assume that over time some bacteria or fungus will adapt to eat it and so it will be broken down. Such adaptions have already happened and the estimation that such adapted organisms might spread worldwide isn’t too far-fetched, since plastic is a pretty abundant Ressource all around the world. And against contrary beliefs, concrete breaks down faster than one might assume. In my area theres various bunkers from WW2 and some of them have clearly visibly started to break down due to erosion. It might take at least a few thousand years until they are completely gone, but I assume that within the next 5000 years one might not be able to guess that this once was a man-made structure. And other things such as cars or non-concrete buildings break down even faster. Let a car outside and within 50 years its a pile of rust with some bits of sun-damaged plastic in it. I think the structures that will last the longest are probably bunkers that were built into mountains, as they aren’t usually subject to erosion or anything else. They will probably be gone once the whole mountain is gone. But, regarding the start of this conversation: any notion of cars, planes or any other modern means of transportation will probably be gone within the next few thousand years

If you really wanted to anyone of you could make something so great from this marble that Michaelangleos name would be forgotten and your name would take his place as the great artist or sculptor of all time.

eL Champorado the romans had to import white marble from the greeks, until they found out they had the purest form of it in Carrara. The staturario marble is unique, there is no other place on earth that you can find it, despite that Carrara is on of the poorest cities in Tuscany !

@@fredsavage4925 It's funny how you're all deluded and take platitudes, steal them, to fit your psychopathic mumblings. I'm sure Pablo Picasso didn't think about torturing and destroying people's lives when he said that quote. Or sexually harassing or stealing people's privacy or taunting. That's not creative..that's damaged goods. That's unnatural. That's a deluded mind trying to find a desparate way to make themselves relevant when the world screams at you that you are a freak.

Kinda overstated the fear of marble running out. The demand is not as big and the reserves are so big in Carrara that the date of "peak marble" or something like that, haven't even been calculated. If marble could be a truly useful material, maybe the fear of consuming it all up may become real. But also, there would be much more incentives to create something similar. Now there's no incentive. It's just a billion market, which is less than the economy of tiny countries like San Marino or Lesotho.
