2182 - Martian space elevator
2187 - Venusian space elevator
2190 - Manned colonization of the entirety of the solar system, humans have entered the Galactic Stage
2201 - Manned colonization of exo-planets
2200s - 3d Printable Organs
2220s - Pulsed energy weapons are made
2250s - The human race is adapting to different enviroment
2270s - First definite contact with extra terrestrial lifeforms.
2300s-3000s[]
2300s - Rich businessmen buy whole solar systems to build colonies. Some of these aren't accessible at the current technologies
2400s - Humans are adapting to different environments
2500s - A large chunk of multiple terraformed planets are habitable.
2600s - Force fields are now in military use
2700s - Intelligent alien races are in contact
2800s - 3000s - At some point in this period, interstellar colonies are having interstellar wars. The result is multiple habitable planets are now destroyed by multiple weapons such as planetkiller arrays, asteroid redirection and global disasters.
2900s - Diamonds are worthless, now 55 Cancri E has now a permanent mining colony.
3000s - The solar system is privatized, with a Dyson sphere around Sol to power a system-wide force-field and toll booths
3rd - 10th Millenniums[]
4000s - Colony ships are now bringing civilians to 'Rimworlds' or Earth-like planets. They tend to find destroyed cities, structures and information from precursor races that have destroyed themselves.
4500s - The human race is becoming unrecognisable from today
5000s - Mankind is type 3 on the kardashev scale
5500s - Humans in this era would be very diverse and split up
6000s- Mankind is reaching the Andromeda galaxy
6500s - Technology is being spread out
7000s - 10000 - Sometime here, Earth will be utterly wiped out and / or rendered as unnecessary
8000s - Mankind is becoming a type IV civiliation
8500s - Humanity is dividing into either the omnipotent civilization or a large community or coalition of other races like in No Man's Sky.
9000s - Type 4 enters a hive mind in between space-time, whereas the remaining type 3 worships them as gods.
10000s - A large 'ark' is constructed to house the remaining humanoids. It would be similar to the Borg cube from Star Trek or Cooper Station from Interstellar and would be planet sized and eventually, the humans would stay there, forever.
10th Millennium +[]
12000s - Multiple 'arks' are constructed, each to house a different variation of mankind.
14000s - In this period it is possible for some of these 'arks' to either meet and exchange technologies, but they would feel like different species to each other
16000s - The type 4s are converting into type 5s, controlling Universes and manipulating space-time. Multiple arks are converting into type 4s.
20000s - The omnipotent type 5s are reaching their ultimate state
25000s - The Universe mankind is in when this was written is now taken over by these arks, that how made their land like countries, making every planet on their terraformed. This universe will now be referred to as the Aleph meaning the one.
30000s - The type 5s are now type 6s.
40000s - A huge intergalactic war has raged between 2 of the largest 'countries'
50000s - The arks are now a religious symbol
70000s - The 6s have reached type 7s, who now control the multiverse.
100k - Earth and the local cluster of stars are now fabled as legends.
200k - The few remaining arks after the war are colonizing other galaxies
300k - The arks are now spread around the universe.
500k - The gods or the omnipotent ones are now type Omega and control EVERYTHING. This will be the final state of the humans
What happens next[]
According to everything humanity has ever learnt, we have no idea. The arks will spread out and eventually colonize other universes. Wars will rage out and then we don't know. Universes will be created and destroyed.
