What the coming century has in store for us. Future calendar: what the coming century has in store for us The heat will become unbearable

Future Calendar: WHAT THE COMING CENTURY PREPARE FOR US

“It’s hard to say what ‘impossible’ is, because yesterday’s dream becomes today’s hope, and tomorrow becomes reality.”

(Robert Goddart, space pioneer).

About ten years ago, when making extracts from the poems of a certain Nostradamus published in Samizdat, I myself did not hide my skepticism towards these absolutely anti-scientific texts. What would you say if in the seventies you read about the Chernobyl explosion, which supposedly would happen in 1986, about the collapse of the USSR in 1991, about the victory of a “blond-haired young man” in the US elections in the fall of 1992? So I also perceived these half-fairy tale, half-crazy lines that had no practical application...

"A daring warrior was born near Italy.

There will be an empire in a rebellious country!

But how many soldiers were killed for you,

A wonderful butcher, in a losing war!

A simple soldier will sit on the throne of French kings

And in a victorious march he will conquer all of Europe.

The boots of his soldiers will reach the eastern borders.

Afterwards he will turn back and die on a wild island..."

"I'm afraid of the unknown third ruler

A mysterious, barbaric, snowy country.

His comrades were killed by him,

And old age will only be protected by hell..."

It is easy for us, people of the twentieth century, to see familiar characteristics of Napoleon and Stalin in these quatrains. It was more difficult for the contemporaries of the author of these poems (of course!), written... in the middle of the 16th century. Of course, they read the prophetic “Centuries” of Michel de Nostradamus (from where these passages are taken), learned from them about future events, but to seriously believe in them... Well, which of us in the 16th century would believe the allegorical quatrains predicting that in such a That year, outlandish things would be invented: flintlock weapons (in 1597), thermometer (1618), steam engine (1763), hot air balloon (1773), railroad (1825), telegraph (1844), dynamite (1867), electric light bulb (1873), telephone (1876), airplane (1903), television (1925), sound film (1927), manned space rocket (1961), rocket to the moon (1969), etc. It is also difficult now to believe in the reality of what Nostradamus predicted for the 21st and subsequent centuries...

One can understand human weakness - it is much more important for us to find out what will happen to us “just about” than to find out what will happen to us all someday not very soon. Many tried to find answers to their questions in “Centuries”, but not everyone found them. The French of past centuries were overcome by fear - what if someone else, and not they, would be the first to know something that no one else can know yet! Therefore, the book that knows EVERYTHING was simply chained.

However, I suspect that for us, enlightened people, in order to understand how brilliant a prophet Nostradamus turned out to be, it is not at all necessary to list a long list of correctly predicted events. It is enough to inform the modern reader about future events, and let everyone draw their own conclusions - in case the prophecy either comes true or not. After all, Nostradamus (or his translators) had annoying mistakes: only a year in the date of the atomic bombing of Japan, a month in the August 1991 events in Moscow. It is necessary to make a reservation that all of his predictions were written down in an allegorical encrypted form (and how else could one write in the Middle Ages), and the true meaning of many of his warnings therefore became clear years after the events. So a lot depends on the correct translation from French into Russian and from Aesopian language into the generally accepted one. Although I know of at least 7 translations into Russian, in this case we will be helped by: the translation made by S.V. Korsun 85, and the works of the interpreter of Nostradamus Manfred DIMDE 86... (further their predictions will be designated by the letters SK and MD, respectively).

POSSIBLY TRUE PREDICTIONS

In order to write this “Calendar of the Future”, the predictions of one, even a very brilliant person, are clearly not enough. Apparently, we should not forget about the calculations of some scientists, for example, engineer G. Mogilevtsev (GM, entry in 1996), and about the predictions of modern prophets: Pavel GLOBA (PG), Tamara GLOBA (TG), Sidik AFGHAN (SA), Gregory Semenovich KVASHY (GK), Vitaly KOVALEV (VK), Tatiana SAMARSKAYA (TS), Anatoly YAKOVENKO (AYA), Pavel Vladimirovich PYATOV (PP), Veronica KUDRYAVTSEVA (VK, entry 1996), Vasily NEMCHIN (VN), as well as foreigners Wendy DELORM-KNAPPA (UD), Philip SOLOMON (FS), Barbara CONNOR (BC)... Each of them has already been “on horseback” more than once, which is easy to see by looking through the files of old newspapers with their predictions. In order for us to be safe from possible mistakes, let’s follow the principle “One head is good, but a hundred and two oracle heads are better”!

However, as it will be easy to see, some of the predictors (like Globa or Nemchin) often duplicate what Nostradamus predicted. What is this - the same solution to a problem in different ways or “peeping at the answer from a classic”? At the same time, when the same Globa independently predicts man-made disasters, mistakes lie in wait for him over and over again. Are they due to the responses of forewarned people, the populist work of a forecaster, or “just” mistakes? One way or another, given the catastrophes that have already failed, we can advise you to continue not to take his predictions of terrible catastrophes to heart...

So what is it, the future of long-suffering Russia? Despite the fact that Nostradamus openly did not love our country (for all our “exploits” in the 20th century he called us names with all sorts of words!), he still envied those who would live on Russian soil 500 years after his death. Why? - It will become clear to you after getting acquainted with his prophecies. Can our poor, almost impoverished Russia really have a great future? I will not convince you of this, your right is to check everything described below over time. I also leave the right to draw conclusions to improve this very Future to you.

I will only warn you that the main part of all predictions was written down in Moscow in 1986-1990, some were added later as new prophetic books and articles were published, but no later than six months before the predicted event (in parentheses after the author’s initials is given date of prediction or date of publication). That is why the once compiled “Calendar of the Future” begins for us with events that have already passed, that is, from the beginning of compiling the calendar. Another rule of this calendar is that after an event or a specified year, do not edit the predictions under any circumstances, adjusting them to a fait accompli. So you will see the prediction as it appeared to the compiler many years ago, but with notes and comments “after the fact”:

...summer 1991 - the end of the Great October Revolution, “fifteen goats look angrily at each other from the caves.” (Nostradamus-1555); (-Alas, it coincided! The collapse of the USSR and hostility among the 15 former fraternal republics);

1992-1993 - large earthquakes are possible, in particular in Crimea, S. Hussein will be killed if he does not have time to escape. (Nostr, SK - until 1990), (-There were “cataclysms” in Crimea - but only political ones. Earthquakes in other areas were serious. There were attempts on Hussein’s life, but they all failed!);

February 1993 - the peak of conspiracies from the past (TG). (Nostr, SK-until 1990), (-Did it coincide - it’s not clear?);

(Nostr, SK-until 1990), (-At the presidential elections in Belarus - at that moment Belarus - Alexander Lukashenko won. There were no accidents reported or there were no significant accidents. Could a complete shutdown of many productions quite pass for an accident and even a catastrophe? );

1994 - the beginning of the heyday of Russia, the rule of a woman is possible, a return to the problem of the Slavic union. A manifestation of the forces that kept the country over the abyss from 11.1991 to 04.1992. (TG). (-?);

autumn 1994 - explosion at a chemical plant in Ventspils. (PG-1994), (-Did not take place);

1994-1995 - an explosion of the South Ukrainian or Novovoronezh nuclear power plant is possible. (Nostr, SK-until 1990), (-Didn’t take place? Perhaps my publications 87 about this event at the very beginning of the specified period also played a role, which aroused the interest of Minatom. So much so that representatives of this serious department approached me for additional details...);

1994-1995 - a difficult time for Moscow, the danger of ground failures in the north-west and south-east of the city. Completion of the collapse of the USSR, the formation of new economic zones: St. Petersburg, Vyborg, Novgorod, Sakhalin, Primorye. Moldova may become a province of Romania. Tiraspol will overtake Chisinau in its development. “A marvelous fish with a human head” will be caught in the Jadran (Adriatic) Sea. (Nostr, SK-until 1990), (-Regarding Moldova - it almost came true, events in Transnistria prevented this, regarding Tiraspol - it came true! Minor sinkholes were in the north-west in the area of ​​​​Mikhalkovsky Proezd, where 3 workers died under an earthen collapse in a trench ! Nothing is known about the “fish”?);

1996 - departure from the political scene of B. Yeltsin, who raised three young new leaders, departure of M. Gorbachev. Global changes on television. Before a new leader, Aquarius, a fighter for the Slavic spirit, comes to power, there may be danger from an ultra-nationalist or church movement. Bloodless, fruitful leadership after shock therapy in complete harmony will last until 2003. (Nostr, SK-until 1990), (-Gorbachev left. Yeltsin again won the presidential elections in 1996, but by the end of the year he was seriously ill, was operated on, his political career may have been hanging by a thread for some time...);

1996 - “The army refuses to take the city. The commander seeks entry through persuasion. He secretly leads the army to the weak gate. Fire, death and bloodshed."

1996-2003 - nature will “revolt against man”, gigantic cataclysms, incredible and unpredictable events. (Nostr, SK-before 1990);

The summer of 1997 was an incredible natural disaster that would not bypass Russia. (PP), (-?);

autumn 1997 - the peace process in “small Afghanistan” - Chechnya will be disrupted, big Afghanistan will again become a hot spot. Saddam Hussein will not remain silent either. (VN-before 1996), (In Chechnya - everything is as always... In November, Saddam again spoiled the blood of the Americans by expelling UN inspectors from Iraq);

World discoveries in genetic engineering. (VK-1996), (-Indeed, English geneticists were the first to experiment with asexual reproduction-cloning of a sheep.);

1997 - “At sea, ships are broken into three parts. Everything moving falls out of the second part. Everyone is desperately looking for the influence of Helios. The one who enters the crack first will win.” (Nostradamus-1555), (Perhaps we are talking about a Russian tanker that broke apart off the coast of Japan, from which all the “moving” oil leaked out?);

1997-1998 - an unsuccessful attempt to bring Russia back. (PG), (failed?);

1997-1998 - Russia's return to its former power. (GK), (failed?);

February-March 1998 - the end of the reign of Boris Yeltsin, who led the country for as long as his namesake Boris Godunov - 7 years. At the end of his reign, he will wander through the labyrinths, and he will actually be ruled by a dwarf with a black face (Chernomyrdin? Kiriyenko?), who sits on his shoulders. (VN-before 1996) (In fact, Yeltsin remained in the leadership even after this “trait”);

1998 - the “dwarf” will rule for a short time, followed by the reign of a certain bald man with unclean skin, then a faceless one. (According to the horoscope, Yuri Luzhkov has skin problems. And about Anatoly Chubais, despite rumors about his secret influence on the president, few really know anything, so one can assume that he is faceless... According to another version, a short man can be called a dwarf Kiriyenko, who was prime minister after Chernomyrdin for only 3 months and was quickly removed in August 1998.) After the “dwarf”, the “swift sovereign”, the “great horseman” Alexander Lebed should appear. (A. Lebed won the elections for governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, but nothing more.) (VN-until 1996);

1998 - success of changes in Russia. (SA-1989), (not noticeable success?);

1998 - World War 3 is barely avoided. (Nostr, SK-until 1990), (in December 1998, American-British planes bombed Iraq, in response Russia recalled its ambassadors from these countries for the first time since post-war times. The disagreements did not go beyond this point.);

end of 1998-1999 - “the exhausting war of the cross with the crescent”, “Carthage is destroyed, which will be resurrected, and the prince of Carthage will be the third pillar of the unification of the armies of the crescent.” It seems that this is long-suffering Kabul, and the events will begin in the fall of 1997. The “leader in a blue turban” will be designated. The first two pillars are the Prince of Babylon (Iraq) and the Prince of Syria. (VN-before 1996), (in December 1998 - 1999, numerous skirmishes actually began in the air over the south and north of Iraq - between American aircraft on the one hand and Iraqi ground-based air defense systems and aircraft! And then at the beginning of 1999 there was a war in Yugoslavia between Orthodox Christians and Bosnian Muslims. Then in August 1999, Muslim fanatics from Chechnya invaded the territory of Dagestan and a new Chechen war began...);

1998-1999 - Tibet, Manchuria, and Inner Mongolia are separated from China. Major social upheavals. (Nostr, SK-until 1996), (There was a separatist movement in China, but no more...);

Summer 1999 - a serious accident may occur near Kapotnya in the area of ​​a chemical plant or oil refinery; the southeast of Moscow may suffer greatly from the leakage of toxic substances. A serious accident is possible at the plant in the area of ​​​​Dmitrovskoye Highway, next to Timiryazevsky Park. (PG-1997), (It wasn’t...);

1999 - the birth of the Antichrist, a liar, the creator of a super-religion, masquerading as the Savior. (Nostr, SK-before 1990), (It is possible that the most suitable time for the Antichrist to be born is 6 o’clock in the morning on June 6, i.e., the sixth month, then when written in numbers it will look like this: 6 hours 6/6/1999) ;

August 11, 1999 - The planets will line up in the shape of a cross. There is the most controversy among predictors around this event; most agree that “under the cross” some kind of cataclysm or major disaster is possible;

1999-2000 - after the liar, the true Savior will be born. Subsequently, he will bring people the New Testament - a teaching that unites Humanity and especially highlights Russia, Western Siberia, and will rule over a happy period of spiritual revival. (Nostr, SK-before 1990);

February 5, 2000 is the most likely date of birth of the Savior between the Volga and Don rivers. Perhaps this is the territory of the Volgograd region; the exact place will be indicated by an unknown comet in the form of a crown. (Nostr, SK);

in the 21st century, after the Horseman, the “great Potter” will come to Russia, the new Peter-1 for Russia, with him the country will enter the “golden age”. “Gonchar” will be born between the Volga and the Urals. (VK-until 1996);

2000 - complete general disarmament. (SA-1989);

2000 - disasters in the south of Russia. A new period in the life of Humanity. The end of the Moon's influence on the Earth, the stars will "approach a dangerous distance." (Nostr, SK-before 1990);

Spring 2001 - the Mnevniki district in Moscow will be completely flooded. An underground plant may explode in the area of ​​the Kurchatov Institute. (PG-1997);

2001 - revival of Moscow. (Nostr, SK-before 1990);

2003 - the beginning of the reign of the “Great Ladies” in Russia and the East. The disappearance of nationalism, the completion of the formation of a new system in Russia, spiritual rise, the flourishing of culture, invention and innovation. (Nostr, SK-before 1990);

2005-2012 - US split. (Nostr, SK-before 1990);

2008 - the union of the Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian peoples. (Nostr, SK-before 1990);

… etc. until 3797, and according to other sources - until the end of the 5th millennium AD, on this date (dates) the prophetic verses of Nostradamus end. Other clairvoyants don’t even try to look that far...

THE FUTURE THROUGH THE EYES OF THE CLAIRVOYANTS

Are such prophecies consistent with the predictions of scientists? They say that even Tsiolkovsky did not expect that the first human flight into space would happen so quickly, just less than thirty years after his death. The great Einstein did not believe in the possibility of using atomic energy in the next hundred years. The famous inventor Edison argued that if a heavier-than-air flying machine was ever built, then, at best, it would only be a child's toy... And so on and so forth...

That is why, remembering the mistakes of others, scientists really do not like to give specific prophecies and forecasts, even with appropriate cautious reservations (journalists, as always, will remove the reservations, but they will not have to take the rap).

At the end of 1998, journalists tried to take specific forecasts not just from a famous scientist, but at the same time from the TV presenter of the program “Obvious-Incredible. XXI century,” but Sergei Petrovich KAPITSKA was cautious: “...World religions will remain, their role will sharply decrease, a new religion will not appear in the new century...Scientists will discover intelligent life in space. And this will be a huge breakthrough in the development of humanity... In just a few years, a vaccine against AIDS should appear. And the “plague of the 21st century” will be tuberculosis and syphilis... The Earth’s population will double, that is, it will become 12-14 billion people..." 88...

But it’s a completely different matter when forecasts need to be made collectively. The prestige of a particular scientist will not suffer at all here. What about trust in scientists in general?..

Among recent collective scientific prophecies, the most famous is the survey of forecasters T. Gordon and O. Halmer in the early 1960s, as a result of which 82 experts were interviewed as part of the Delphic Technique program. The survey results are a clear example of erroneous assumptions when carrying out such work; the result is this: up to our time, there are almost no “hits on the bull’s eye.” But there are “quite reasonable thoughts”:

1965-1980 - Economically feasible desalination of sea water. (-Only in some places, for example, in Kuwait);

before 1977 - machine translation of languages. (-?);

before 1980 - ultra-light synthetic materials. (-?);

before 1983 - effective birth control. (-No or there is some place);

before 1990 - reliable weather forecast. (-No? Or is it still there?); synthetic organs implanted into the human body. (Is it perhaps silicone pads and muscle and breast simulators?); X-ray and gamma lasers;

until 1991 - a single information center. (Internet? Fidonet?);

until 1993 - coordinate transformation of theoretical physics. (No?);

up to 2000 - weather control; creation of primitive artificial life;

until 2001 - economically feasible development of the seabed; controlled thermonuclear reaction; distribution of non-narcotic psychotropic drugs; universal immunization against bacterial and viral diseases by biochemical means;

until 2012 - artificial elimination of hereditary diseases;

until 2017 - cure of mental illnesses with the help of chemical and physiotherapeutic drugs;

until 2022 - symbiosis of machine, computer and man;

until 2023 - regeneration of missing organs and limbs using biochemical drugs;

until 2024 - drugs that increase the level of intelligence;

until 2025 - increase in average life expectancy by 50 years with the help of chemicals;

until 2026 - production of chemical elements from subatomic components;

until 2027 - two-way communication with extraterrestrial civilizations;

until 2031 - long-term lethargy (coma) for time travel; learning by direct influence on the brain;

until 2033 - use of animals (monkeys, dolphins) for unskilled work;

until 2038 - gravity control;

until 2039 - the use of telepathy in communications...

Human history knows many cases when famous scientists were mistaken in their prophecies, however, at all times, when people needed predictions of the future, first of all they turned to either oracles or scientific authorities. Among the latter, the Russians and Americans were once famous, but in the sixties, successes in space greatly turned their heads (according to the promises made then, by the 1990s, you and I should have a base on the Moon, manned flights to Mars, controlled weather and life expectancy almost two hundred years old!).

Representatives of the Land of the Rising Sun in those years did not have time to “soak” their reputation in a similar way. Therefore, there is a generally accepted opinion that Japanese specialists in technical fields of knowledge are better than others at feeling both the urgent market needs for the emergence of new types of technology, and the potential ability of knowledge-intensive industries to adequately respond to this need. Indeed, almost all of their previous prophecies (new generations of video equipment and tape recorders, high-definition television, direct television satellites, organ transplants, etc.) came true within the specified time frame.

In November 1992, a survey of Japanese scientists brought new food for thought to the world. 5 years later - again a survey of 1,500 leading scientists 89, which not only showed similar results, but also revealed trends. Now the schedule of upcoming victories looks like this (without brackets - data from 1992, in brackets - from 1997):

in 1999, Humanity will finally learn to accurately predict the weather;

in (2003) computers and telephones will become the main means of communication, and in (2006) the majority of purchases will be made with their help;

in 2009 (2007) AIDS will be defeated;

in 2015 (2013) - free from cancer;

after 2015 (2015) - a base on the Moon will become operational;

in 2018 - a manned flight to Mars will take place...

in (2022) - carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere will begin to really reduce...

Of course, their predictions are not taken out of thin air; they all have a real basis. For example, both of the latter statements are entirely consistent with American plans for space exploration and do not contradict Russian ones...

As described by the famous English scientist and science fiction writer Arthur CLARK 90, the future looks like this:

in 1970 - machine translation. (The prediction came true only in relation to technical texts);

in 2000 - planetary exploration; cyber mechanisms;

in 2000 - energy without wires;

in 2050 - gravity control; weather control;

in 2050 - contacts with other civilizations;

in 2050 - exploration of interstellar space;

in 2050 - suspended animation; inheritance management;

in 2070 - climate control;

in 2090 - immortality for people;

at 2100 - flights to the stars; world brain;

in 2100 - artificial life...

In 1999, A. Clark again (after 35 years of abstaining from forecasts) pleased readers with his calendar, now updated 91. The new version is as follows:

in 2002 - the end of the era of solid fuel, equipment will appear that produces clean and safe low-temperature nuclear energy;

in 2004 - the first human cloning;

in 2012 - spacecraft will begin to provide their services to the general public;

in 2017, the Hilton Hotel, located in space orbit, will open, and then 100-year-old A. Clark hopes to be one of the first to visit it;

in 2021 - the first people on Mars;

in 2061 - the return of Halley's comet, the landing of people not its core;

in 2095 - creation of a rocket with near-light speed, flight to one of the nearest constellations 92;

in 2101 - the story according to Clark is just beginning... Or is it ending?..

In 1992, the Propeller newspaper conducted its own survey of students from Moscow Aviation Institute, MEPhI and MSTU. The future of our country and the entire planet in the eyes of those who will actually implement this future looks like this:

in 1997-2004 - accurate weather forecasting;

in 1998-2009 - the first Russian man will set foot on the moon;

in 1999-2012 - the first manned flight to Mars;

in 2001-2014 - doctors will learn to treat AIDS;

in 2008-2015 - scientists will defeat cancer;

in 2010-2018 - creation of a base on the Moon;

in 2012-2040 - a base on Mars;

in 2040-2070 - a manned flight to Venus;

in 2090-2400 - the first flight on a starship...

On the question of when Contact with extraterrestrial civilizations will take place, opinions were sharply divided: 52 percent of respondents thought before 2000, 33 percent after 2050. Apparently, the difference in answers was explained by the fact that respondents had different understandings of the scenario of the long-awaited Contact: the first believed that representatives of other civilizations would be the first to find (or have already found) us, while the second assigned an active role to Humanity in this matter. Only 8 percent of respondents believed that nothing like this would ever happen in our history.

It is interesting to note how different the future predictions were between adults and children. Two years later, in 1995, a sample survey was conducted there among old teachers and students in grades 6-11. The first, of course, were endowed with much more life experience; the older generation had not yet forgotten the exciting promises of the onset of communism by 1980, free apartments by 2000, they also remembered the once-general euphoria from success in space and the growing faith in science, about slogans “Let’s catch up and overtake!”, about the song “My Vasya will be the first on the Moon”, about failed flights to Mars, etc. and so on. So, is it any wonder that the older generation prefers to talk more about the degradation of society and the decline of morals than about progress and prosperity?! Our honored veterans, who once successfully competed with rich countries, prefer not to talk about specific dates for flights to other planets, or to give credit for future successes to other peoples and countries. However, not all. Many believe in the future prosperity of Russia, even that the Russian language will become the main international language, and Russian technology will surpass all competitors. But this will happen... someday... in a word, not soon.

Modern teenagers, the same ones who are called infantile and unpatriotic, and those who will actually have to build this very future, in fact gives more optimistic forecasts. In their opinion, technological progress is just beginning to gain momentum and there is practically unlimited development ahead. But regarding Russia, schoolchildren’s ideas diverged sharply, from, again, “Russia’s championship” to “hopelessly lagging behind.” There is some connection between schoolchildren's opinion about the future and their choice of their own profession; It has been noticed, for example, that “youth” optimists are more often planning to connect their lives with scientific and technical industries (paradoxically, “old people” pessimists also worked in the same industries in the past). And vice versa, “youth” pessimists and “old people” optimists for the most part belong to the group of humanitarians. What does this mean, and how this situation will affect our actual future - let everyone decide for themselves.

Nevertheless, we will try to summarize the questionnaire responses of schoolchildren aged 11-16 years from Moscow, Leninsk (Baikonur), Yaroslavl and the Volgograd region, made in 1992. So:

in 2010 - accurate weather prediction will appear, and in 2020 - weather control;

in 2010 - the first Russian man will set foot on the moon;

in 2015 - the first manned flight to Mars;

in 2014 - doctors will learn to treat AIDS;

in 2013 - scientists will defeat cancer;

in 2017 - creation of a base on the Moon;

in 2024 - a base on Mars;

in 2025 - a manned flight to Venus;

in 2050 - the first flight on a starship...

The difference from more “adult” students in the schoolchildren’s views is obvious: what the students predicted for the near future, the teenagers postponed by several years, and on the contrary, more distant forecasts brought closer. One way or another, an interesting conclusion arises: today’s schoolchildren clearly want all epochal events (and not only those listed in the list) to occur during the period of active work of their generation. It is not difficult to calculate that in 2010-2050, graduates of the late twentieth century will be approximately 25-65 years old, which is precisely the most fruitful period of work for creative people! They are either selfish or well done!..

THE FUTURE OF SPACE

The very first space futurologist can rightfully be called K.E. Tsiolkovsky, who back in 1926, in his work “Exploration of World Spaces with Jet Instruments,” outlined in detail “a plan of work, starting in the near future” (later it would be called “Tsiolkovsky’s Plan” ). It consists of 15 main points. The first nine of them have already been completed - from “the creation of jet aircraft” to “manned flights in the space surroundings of the Earth.” What is left for us? The following points of the grand plan include:

"...10. Vast settlements are being established around the Earth.

11. They use solar energy not only for food and convenience of life (comfort), but also for movement throughout the solar system.

12. Found colonies in the asteroid belt and other places in the solar system, wherever small celestial bodies are found.

13. Industry is developing and the number of colonies is increasing.

14. Individual (personality, individual) and social (socialist) perfection is achieved.

15. The population of the solar system is becoming one hundred thousand million times larger than the current population of the earth. A limit has been reached, after which settlement throughout the entire Milky Way is inevitable."

Needless to say, experts in the field of astronautics (at least in Russia) believe Tsiolkovsky and his “Plan”. But when exactly will all this happen? It’s probably worth bringing in as an example the plans of modern space futurologists:

"2000. New generation spacecraft and power plants. Large-sized orbital station. Multi-purpose space platforms. Widespread distribution of space information systems. Industrial production of materials.

2015. New generation transport space systems. Global information and industrial infrastructure. High power space power plants. Cosmic energy transmission lines over long distances. Illumination of regions of the Earth using orbital reflectors. Watch-type space settlements. Research base on the Moon.

2050. Space solar power plants for energy supply to the Earth. Space thermonuclear power plants and rocket engines. Interorbital transport with light engines.

2120. Unified information and energy industrial system. Lighting of ground-based bio-industrial and energy-industrial complexes. Removal of excess energy from Earth into space. Experiments on active weather control using influences from space.

2190. Industrial development of the Moon. Space elevator. Active methods of disaster prevention and local weather control.

2300. Space eco-industry - restoration of natural resources, global weather control, optimal climate change. Construction of an ecological optimum.

2400. Large-scale artificial structures in space. Transportation of small asteroids and use of their substance. Energy consumption is at the level of 10**23-24 J/year.

2500. Use of matter from other planets. Transfer of asteroids to near-Earth orbits. Large-scale space construction.

2700. Space power systems at distances of 0.1 AU. from the sun. Industrial development of Mercury, Venus, Mars"…

What will we do “after 2700” or after fulfilling “Point 15 of Tsiolkovsky’s plan” - serious futurologists have not yet thought about this...

...But science fiction writers don’t forget about this. 78-year-old Arthur Clarke, who has many self-fulfilling predictions in the field of development of advanced technologies (back in 1945, he made a theoretical justification for space communications satellites), predicted the following in 1999:

“The most popular tourist route in the next century will be a flight to Mars... Interplanetary travel has not yet become a reality due to events such as the Vietnam War, the sensational Watergate scandal, the protracted Afghan adventure and many other political and economic crises that have been delaying money from space exploration. The transformations in Russia that have been going on since the early 1990s also played a role. On the one hand, the end of the Cold War between the USSR and the USA was a blessing for all humanity, but on the other hand, it practically eliminated the competition between these powers in the field of space exploration. Without competition, what is progress? The First World War gave the world aviation, the Second World War opened the way to space. However, this does not mean that a third world conflict will be required to push interplanetary travel, but humanity still needs a reason to start exploring deep space. Today, such reasons lie in the economic sphere. Work, directly or indirectly related to facilitating human space travel, is in full swing" 93...

What gave Clark the reason and reason to think so optimistically? He received good news from Finland and Germany, where Russian and European scientists seemed to have experimentally obtained an anti-gravity field. If it can be created in test conditions, then perhaps we are on the verge of creating a fundamentally new spacecraft that will be able to leave the Earth with almost zero fuel costs. Then today's rockets will become what balloons became after the creation of the airplane. But once upon a time people believed that balloons had a great future, but as soon as aviation appeared, they turned into sports equipment. Likewise, according to Clark, in the first decades of the 21st century, aircraft should appear that can make space travel accessible to ordinary passengers. That’s when tourists will go to Mars, concludes the famous science fiction writer...

THE FUTURE OF TEMPORONAUTICS (Time Travel)

For me, it is almost obvious that the final point in the dispute about the possibility or impossibility of correctly seeing (foreseeing, predicting) future events can be put only with the help of travel (movements, slips) in Time. It seems that there is logic here: in order to learn how to fly on time machines, you need to understand the nature and properties of Time, and from here it’s not far to understanding the properties of the Future or the probability of the Future...

Separately, in the institute questionnaires of 1992, questions were also given about the possibility of traveling in Time, about moral issues of historical development and about the possibility of intervention in the history of the Past, about ethics and the need for Contact with the Time Center. Here, there was no particular difference in the approaches between the opinions of students and schoolchildren; among all age categories there were both “cautious reinsurers” and “reckless daredevils.” However, maybe this is good - diversity of opinions leads, as a rule, to more informed decisions, which means that today’s adults (future pensioners) have a certain chance that today’s teenagers (future breadwinners of pensioners) will not make a mess in that very future...

Will it ever be possible to test all these predictions using MV?

In the 1970s, the famous science fiction writer A. Clark predicted that by 2060 Humanity would learn to “destruct space-time”... Thirty years later, changing the wording, he suggested that “ships capable of bending” Time would already be in 2095 94…

An ancient prophetic papyrus allegedly found by Canadians in 1987 95 promises the appearance of a time machine in 2025...

The majority of students were in favor of the fact that the first movement of man into the Second World will occur from 2055 to 2300 (high school students answered from 2050 to 2150), and regular tourist trips to the Past - from 2060 to 3000 (from 2050 to 2160). And only 16 percent of students and 4 percent of high school students answered this question: “Never”...

The famous Nostradamus in the 16th century “looked at life” more optimistically; in his poems he determined that we would gain power over Time before 2050. Based on his poems, it would even be more likely to assume that the first flights in Time will begin around 2020-2030.

A similar date was also mentioned by F. Eldemurov, who received information “from the outside” literally the following: “A time machine is a hopeless fairy tale... yes, it is possible to build a time machine, but is it necessary? Yes, the time machine will fly... When? It is impossible to say how this will stand up in your specific stream. In the 21st century, in the 20-30s..."

The most contradictory information on this topic comes from contactees... And yet, when exactly will all this happen?..

Usually, 10-50 years pass from the first experiments to the introduction of any type of new technology into life, however, the acceleration of the pace of life introduces its own adjustments to these figures. Consequently, if we take the start date of experiments with the first simplified MV model in 1988 as the starting point, then a real manned flight in Time can occur in 1999-2017. What punctuation mark "!" or “?”, in this sentence will appear many years later - depends on all of us, on all of Humanity; for now, the entire described unfinished history of the creation of the Time Machine deserves only one punctuation mark - “…”

INSTEAD OF CONCLUSION: GENERALIZED CALENDAR OF THE FUTURE

Probably, before finishing this conversation about the Future, it’s worth once again summarizing all our conclusions and listing the most plausible predictions. So to speak, the digest of the “Future Calendar”, those fragments of it that “will definitely come true.”

Generalizations in predictions are difficult to make, since (you have already noticed) predictors quite often contradict each other, if not in general ideas, then in dates. According to the “Calendar of the Future” described above, it is nevertheless possible to calculate trends, but... the fact of the matter is that an unambiguous conclusion about future events inevitably leads to some kind of response from us, to the correction of plans for scientific, technical and economic development , and, as a result, to... changing the Future. So, it is quite difficult to choose unbending predictions “with a mark of quality,” but it is possible, especially if you take into account the plans and recommendations of this very scientific and technological development declared above.

So, most likely, really in...

1996 (1994-1998) - the lower peak of the Great Crisis in Russia.

1998-2000 - change of leadership in Russia.

1999-2000 - the possible birth of those who would later be called the Antichrist and the Savior. Perhaps the birth of the Antichrist will occur at 6 am on June 6th.

2000-2002 - there will be some kind of key turning point in the history of Mankind, perhaps associated with scientific discoveries and environmental changes. The consequence, and perhaps the cause, of this event may be contact with other civilizations.

Spring 2003 - a sharp increase in Russian influence, the beginning of the era of Aquarius, the “era of Russia”.

2003-2008 - the union of Slavic and other countries friendly to Russians.
