0:58, the reason this region uses “ü” is due to the ethnic Turkic Uyghurs living there, there’s some controversy over the Chinese government’s handling of the people there though. It’s interesting you mention pinyin though because I haven’t really looked into the alphabets of Western China, you’ve made me curious. 😭 I’m gonna go down a wiki rabbit hole now.

[@nathanlaoshi8074]

"ü" is a legitimate pinyin letter in Mandarin also. The sound /y/ exists in Mandarin and German, so the Chinese borrowed the German representation of the sound. Fun fact: computer text entry usually substitutes a "v" for "ü" to make it simpler. For example, donkey: 驴子 is lüzi in pinyin. (I'm neglecting the tone markers because I can't be bothered). As Uigur is a Turkic language, that sound will also be represented.

Maybe it was included in some theoretical system in 2015 or whatever, but no one uses it. So he's wrong, and I don't have to prove to you that he's wrong, because I know he is. Odd poppet LOL.

[@oba73_]

​@@johnmassey2980Most of the time the "ü" is unnecessary as "u" after most consonants only have one sound (like the "xū" in " 玩具 (xūyào)") but after "n" and "l", "u" can be pronounced differently: like in "努 (nǔ)" or "女 (nǚ).

A book recommendation you will I suppose have to use the old fashioned method of reading for yourself but worth the effort is A UK authour Stephen Baxter's sequel to HGvWells' The Time Machine, called Time Ships. Its a giant size novel from 1991. We learn more about our traveler and he learns the quantum nature of time. A whole new future, past and time scales that span the Universe and beyond. When I say this book has adventure, hard science based Sci Fi, and scope while getting the people and small human scale right, I mean it. Epic story that could be told across multiple movies to do it justice. 5 stars from me (and I am choosy).

Won't the sun burn out before the continents shift that far? Because if the planet ices over that will surely impact hiw the plates shift. I have a book recommendation. "Feed" by M.T. Anderson. Its about a future dystopian where we have microchips in our brains. Technology improves but humanity devolves. It reads something like "Brave New World" but more plausible to happen. Even the way the characters speak devolves a bit too, lots of futurustic slang.

[@charg1nmalaz0r51]

im pretty sure the sun has billions of years in it, so it should be good lol

[@MagsonDare]

I've seen videos that go into the phases of the sun and they project that due to a combination of orbital eccentricity and the sun's luminosity increasing as it ages, that the Earth will be uninhabitable by most current species (humanity included) within the next 80 million years or so, so we'll need to evolve along with the changes to the environment over time, or go interstellar well before then. Fortunately we seem to have a bit of time left.... ETA, and as charg1 says ... the sun itself has about 6 billion years left. It will likely eat the Earth a couple billion years before it burns out, so... yeah, the sun will outlast us for sure.

[@EdMac40]

That was fun. BTW, about 70 years ago, EC Comics (Mad Magazine, etc.) did a bit about how humans would look in the future. I don't remember all the details, but one thing I do recall was that we would have huge heads on tiny, scrawny bodies (almost the opposite of what the AI model said). It was because we didn't have to do any physical labor; the robots would do it all for us. We didn't bother to exercise or play sports. We did everything in our heads with virtual reality, so our brains became enormous. Of course, in that comic book, it was all done with humor, but it's interesting to note that was done a long time ago, before we had the concept of virtual reality, and that the conclusion about the size of our heads was the opposite of the model you referenced.

Not to be nit-pickey, but in 1000 years, humans will probably look essentially the same as we do now. Evolution doesn't really happen that fast. We've been relatively unchanged for 200,000 to 300,000 years so far. Also, it's unlikely there will be any further speciation, since we are now such a global species that isolation really doesn't happen anymore. In the far future, if we ever do learn to master interstellar travel and colonize other worlds, it's pretty much a given that humans will begin to speciate. That's assuming we don't wipe ourselves out long before then, of course.
