Construct A Box That Lasts A Million Years

Featured Replies

I am not focusing over the amount of time it is, I am focusing on how to do what the OP asked. Since his question didnt express any doubt that we will be alive in a million years, I did not express any either.

 

Oh, I completely understand. Please don't get me wrong. It's just that the sheer vastness of the time scale really hit me (like a shovel to the face) when I thought about your proposal to simply keep telling each new generation of children the message (in a whisper game fashion), and stress the importance so they too would pass it on. It really crystallized for me just how very long we're talking here. :)

erm but would it not sort of change like chinse wispears and turn into a diderent message or one genoration just forget to tell the next

What about an underground base made out of depleted uranium. Bury deep enough that it not a hazard but still traceable. Isn't the half life pretty good for DU?
