Plants produce sugars for energy to grow through photosynthesis. Could that process be skipped by just adding those necessary sugars to a plants water supply allowing them to grow in the dark? Could these sugars be added to plants that get sunlight as a growth booster? Thanks

Well the population of the earth in the year 5620 could be 300 trillion for all we know maybe more At some point every square inch of the land and ocean will be altered by humans. After that we have to build up and build down into the ground. Imagine the earth with a shell over it. This shell is actually a one world building. This world building could be a few miles high and many miles deep into the earths crust. It would need to be this way to support hundreds of trillions of people. Would look something like the death star from star wars So in this case there would be no room for roads. You need to access areas deep within the shell so tubes are the only way. Even if its a road in a hollowed tunnel.... well thats a tube. Also by this year there will surely be no such thing as cars. Thats like humans today riding horses as our main transportation lol. By then we will probably not need to move. Each human would not even be genetically human by then but lets say they were. they would probably be linked to the internet and never leave there brain uploading station. But lets say they still do want to travel around the physical world. If they did travel they would have no choice but to use tube like transportation. It is probably inevitable if we still move from one place to another in the future. It would probably be some advanced maglev transport system of tubes thats all automated.

Within the next few decades genetic engineering and designer children will be common. Parents will at first choose to alter there babies genes to prevent diseases, cancers, predisposition to evil, violence, murder etc As the technology and business advances many more designer genes will start being chosen by parents for there children. Genes that increase intelligence, resist cancers and diseases, sharpen vision & hearing, increase beauty, increase health, lifespan, or even make immortality possible will start to be used. This technology and business will probably be very expensive and only available to the rich members of our society. This will inevitably result in a split of the species. On one hand you will have the rich genius, immortal super humans lets call them "Homo Evolutus" and on the other hand you will have the poor genetically inferior humans "Homo Sapiens". Technologies such as nanotechnology and quantum computers may also have a huge effect on us. In the next 50 years most humans will will have access to endless information via electronic link to the brain. A small chip on your scalp linked to your brain will allow instant download of all human knowledge, internet, math, science etc. But again this technology will probably be very expensive so only "Homo Evolutus" will be able to afford it.
