Even if it's just possibilities it really puts a perspective on our tiny lives in the grand scheme of things, and makes me think we need to get off this rock at some point in the next 100,000 years.
If for no other reason than redundancy.

We're a single colony of bacteria living in a cozy spot of warm water that fell on someone's kitchen floor, staring down the eventuality of simple evaporation, the dangers of paper towels, or even the possibility of disinfectant.
 
oh look: another $5mil wasted for some moron scientist to predict the future!!

I see you have no idea what scientists actually do.

Sure I do.

They make guesses and beg for money to be able to prove them. However none are ever proven, so they need more money...and on and on and on

NOPE. That is what con artists do. They might say they are scientists to fool some simple minded people. It looks like in your case, it worked.
 
You know, even a slight change in our current knowledge will drastically alter everything we predict.

Thats why scientific predictions from 1910 look so fucking ridiculous today.

Newton's laws of motion, while wrong, still is really damn good at making predictions, and that's 300 years ago. If not, you could say goodbye to a good fraction of engineering.

We have a better understanding of physics now. We won't see drastic changes in thought like we have in the past as we've discovered all of the "low hanging fruit" of knowledge.

Newton's laws of motion were never, and likely will never be wrong. I know what you meant to say, you meant they were incomplete. They were later discovered to be exactly that, incomplete. But not wrong. There is a very big difference between wrong and incomplete. I hope it's obvious enough to not require an explanation.
 
Check out what happens in 7.300,000 years. LOL!

Some of the items on that graphic are bunk though. For instance, the "Mex Extinct" thing from degradation of the Y chromosome has been disproven.

yeah the Y chromosome is actually the fastest evolving chromosome in the human genome, it's not going away but it is going places.
