What would happen if electricity just vanished from our lives?
No explanation, no reason, it just up and vanished without a trace.
How fucked would we be?
What would happen if electricity just vanished from our lives?
we'd get more pretty quickly
If you have skills and can get along with people, you'll be fine.
But the electricity vanished, we can't get more.
Depends.
Are the power lines just going out?
Do all electric devices stop working forever?
Do electronics just stop flowing through conductors?
there are still wind turbines, solar panels, dams, etc.
if all of them just don't generate electricity then we'd build more.
They don't generate electricity anymore.
Electricity ceased to exist in all its forms.
Yes to all your questions.
Everyone dies. Quickly, too.
Amount of people there is 7 billion. Survival of the fittest.
Why?
So we'll fight? I knew it.
>Electricity ceased to exist in all its forms.
Then we die? What are electrical impulses?
If you only meant grid power then a couple days max.
The amount of people living day to day surely outweighs any amount of preppers. When they run to the store and grab every last bit of goodies, there aren't more coming from 'elsewhere' like after a natural disaster.
No power to clean water and it'll go even quicker.
So we're useless creatures without electricity? How did our ancestors live in the past?
Because physics just broke down in pretty major ways.
This makes zero sense.
No. You are just ignorant and/or dumb
How rude.
People lived without it for thousands of years , and although it would be inconvenient as fuck, life no matter how shitty will go on.
Im working on just that.
I need a bit more time.
You can't go back to the old style of living after living with electricity for so long.
Believe me. People have gotten soft.
Working on what exactly?
they did not lived long enough, imagine, no hospitals, no x rays no EKG, people in hot places would get violent, and in cold palces would die sooner..
That is only natural.
And good.
Truth hurts
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Hmph.
The gov already knows. They're coming user. back down before you know too much
If all electricity just didn't "work" anymore, our neural impulses would also cease to function and everyone would die within a few minutes.
That's assuming that atoms themselves didn't just fall apart because of lack of electrical charge in protons and electrons.
Worst case, the entire universe of matter would just melt into a goo...
Our neural impulse would be left intact.
Any outside electricity is gone though.
What about the atoms themselves? Or the other electrochemical things in our body? Hell, even light and heat is electromagnetic so would we be blind? Would we not get any radiation from the sun?
Here's my point: You can't just separate man-made electricity from natural physics and expect life and the universe to be reasonably intact.
Way to miss the point of OP's question.
What was the point?
>You can't just separate man-made electricity from natural physics and expect life and the universe to be reasonably intact
It happened in the past before man-made electricity was made. So why not now?
I'd guess about 95% of the total world population would be dead within 10 years.
The big problem here is we need electricity to make all the shit we need to make so we can have electricity, kind of a catch 22 there.
I will tell you during my time in the military it was a well thought about and prepared for problem in the case of a terrorist attack in the form of a high altitude burst EMP. A faraday cage solves that problem. If all electronics even in a faraday cage went proof, we'd be well and truly seriously fucked.
Making electricity was ALWAYS possible from a physics perspective, we just didn't know HOW.
What you're talking about is something different. Not that we've forgotten or something but that the physics no longer works.
This is going to happen one day, electricity won’t disappear but our ability to generate/distribute will be crippled for a few years.
It will be anarchy.
Non-America lives without electricity just fine. So would we.
But if it goes away, then we can just go back to living like before we knew how to make electricity?
Everyone in intensive care would die right away if electricity goes out and hospital won't be able to operate.
That's how fucked we would be.
You seem so certain. Why?
There would be no more Andy Sixx threads so yeah, it would be totally worth it.
Because it’s happened before and it’s an inevitability that it’ll happen again.
Yes, if somehow everyone forgot how to make it and all of our current infrastructure vanished, then we'd have to go back to basically 1800-ish technology. If that happened, most of us would probably adapt with maybe the people on life support, etc.
But there could also be huge chaos since a large number of computer records would be wiped out. But, if we're magically making things disappear, maybe they could be converted into some form of paper documents somewhere.
See that's the issue, you can't just remove electricity without having to rework what the actual world looks like, making things arbitrarily disappear or appear to make the entire thing logically consistent.
If electricity vaanished, we would all be dead within years. Not because society itself depends on it, but because mother nature depends on it. No lightning = No life.
It would a doomsday scenario. Chaos would ensue over all major cities. People would die by the millions.
I think the major concern is that oil is going to be depleted in 50 years at the rate we're going. Everything requires oil. When oil runs out, we're going to be digging through out own landfills for plastics and other oil based materials. I think this is true for a lot things, like Helium. Were wasting so much Helium on stupid birthday balloons. Its the coldest gas in liquid form. We need that shit.
Trips of truth
This is so not true, mother life doesn't need electricity.
based and checked
They lived close to their food. How much food is produced inside a city on 10mil people now? Not much. No power, no gas, no food. Half the pop would be dead in a month tops. Population would probably equalize within a year to maybe 15% current levels...
