The World in 50 Years: Global Community
The world’s oil reserves are severely and irretrievably depleted. The ensuing collapse sparked a military rift between the United States and China. The world stands on the brink of war. The only thing stopping a catastrophic global conflict is two scientists – from each of the two warring nations – racing against the clock to realize the full potential of their latest discovery, thereby ending the ongoing energy crisis.
The setup might read like the latest Hollywood disaster movie, but the logic behind it is anything but. The World in 50 Years: A global community takes a highly informed look at the future through dramatic narrative and fact-based scientific research, following these scientists in their desperate search for sustainable energy alternatives. The results are both academic and exciting.
Today, we are already witnessing growing paranoia over the planet’s dwindling energy resources. Over the next five years, the crisis will intensify, prompting even more urgent calls for clean and limitless solutions. Foreseeing this inevitable dilemma, scientists and researchers are currently devoting considerable time and money to harness the potential of one of those sources: the sun.
The film features insights from top minds in science and introduces us to some of the real researchers who are currently working on a future where solar power powers the world. The biggest downside to their efforts is the logistics of space travel and work. To meet this challenge, teams of space scientists are developing revolutionary nanoparticle technology that will allow them to easily transport materials into orbit and absorb available energy from the sun’s endless supply in a consistently cheap and efficient manner.
Your work can make a huge difference in improving geopolitical relationships, the global economy, the way we live every day, and the sustainability of our planet. The third installment in the acclaimed series, The World at 50 Years: A Global Community is a gripping reminder of the dangers that await and the creative solutions that could ultimately save us.
