What do you think the use of our knowledge is?
Those are my fav. kind of answers.


I had an answer yesterday but squirtit blew my mind with that comment about what was outside is now inside after expansion. If we go extinct or the earth/sun is destroyed then I don't know. I guess on a larger time scale our attempts at preservation are futile.

But, on a somewhat smaller scale, with the earth and sun remaining intact after human extinction; I imagine our preserved documents could be somewhat useful for our predecessors whether they be future earth creatures or space travelers.

Ancient egyptians were here a few thousand years ago. They seemed to understand the preservation of knowledge and ideas. Yet, we don't know everything about them and their technologies.
