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

I really don't know where you get this idea that man-made structures can be easily destoyed by mere abrasion. Wind and rain need hundreds of thousand of years to grind down our structure.

@@rolandsallstrom well I believe that it depends on the house size and the ground the house are built on, if it's solid ground where the weight of the house don't sit in over the years with moisture then the marble has no need to snap, if it's on a foundation on softer soil then as the weigh sits the house unevenly then they break. A house sitting might not be obviously visible but it happens but like glass it doesn't need to bend like a nail for it to snap

It's not a limitless resource. It's a waste of beautiful stone to be used as flooring - unless it's a really magnificent building - and especially as a countertop. People who like marble countertops in their kitchen only like them because they're a status symbol. People who have them do not cook. Wood counters are best. I've had the good fortune to see many of the world's great museums, basilicas, ancient buildings, etc. and these use of marble in these places is warranted. Still, it's not all it's cracked up to be - no pun intended. Michelangelo's best work is his Pieta in St. Peter's, which is made of wood. It conveys a warmth and emotion you simply can't get from marble. And statuary aside if you ever want to really see a great example of what marble can do and be, go see the Medici's Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence. Their tombs will blow you away. It really illustrates more than anything else why Michelangelo is one of the greatest, if not thee greatest, artist of all time.

The most amazing part about this marble is if you decided you really wanted to in this lifetime you could make something that lasted for thousands of years and brought joy and astonishment to people all that time and yet nearly all of you are convinced that because you aren't Michaelangelo you aren't capable of making something great. 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. Make something great or be forgotten but if you don't it's because only you got in your own way.

Wtf are you rambling on about? Anyone can make Michelangelo obsolete by creating something from Carrera marble ourselves, and our names would take his place? 🤦♂️ How about if we just give you the honor? I speak on behalf of the world that you rightfully deserve this since it was your idea. U don’t even know how to spell the man’s name.
@MikeyMystery452 жыл бұрын
@@Anthony-nv7gd Surely you didn't mispell Carrara wrong. Lol. All I'm saying is that people nowadays seem to look to the past as if what was done back then was outside of the capability of themselves in our modern times. Or like they themselves couldn';t make something that might be appreciated for the next hundred, thousand, or five thousand years. Some give me a block of marble and I would make something amazing or I'd die looking like a fool. I'm not even sure where I would get a block of Carrarra marble here in the United States and even if I could I probably could never afford it. I've wanted to try and carve a statue but it's definetly an art that's hard to become involved in. That's for sure.

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.
