We aren’t going to be around to see it. Shit, the way we’re doing things nothing else will be around to see it either.

The English language has words and grammar for speculation, “will” is not one of them.

I guess no point in climbing Mount Everest if it’s not going to be the tallest in 250M years. That’s a relief.

I thought the pacific was getting smaller and the Atlantic was getting larger? I would expect the America’s to meet with east Asia.

From what the wikipedia page tells, under this hypothesis atlantic will stop widening in about 125 millions years, and begin to shrink.

this made me realize how great this map would be for an alternate history or fantasy setting
the mountain range between north america and africa creates the super interesting situation where the sides are almost entirely separated save for the coast and a teensy tiny bit near cape town that’s sort of crossable, so the coast would see an insane amount of traffic and i could see there being a capital nestled in the mountains next to the passage to cape town.
And of course the indian ocean would be where basically everyone lives, as others have said.

“The South will rise again” folks were right. They just had a much longer timeline than we imagined.
