What would happen if everyone dissapeared from earth?

Question

meaning would there still be electricity, water, and gas if you were, to say, the only person on earth?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure the automated systems controlling our infrastructure would collapse after a few days, if they were to even last that long. Don't forget everything is pretty interconnected through circuits and networks, so a system failure in one sector will snowball and bring others down. ENTROPY is the natural state of the earth, and I imagine she would be pretty pleased to have it return to that state.

Answer 2

Then it would be very lonely, and you would starve and die.

The end.

Answer 3

Only for a little bit. There was a science channel show about this. They would function for maybe days or weeks and then break down. We would have a silence that hasn't existed for thousands of years.

Answer 4

The first thing that will happen; ignorance of the facts, since there will be nobody else to witness and report what will be happening.

Answer 5

for awhile

Answer 6

This is a very difficult question to answer because it is such a lengthy one to answer.....luckily some people have recently done that.....

I would read, "The World WIthout Us" by Weisman   This is an amazing book answering your question of what would happen if humans disappeared.

Also, recently the discovery channel and national geographic have each made documentaries on the same topic.  I would look for these and it will answer your question easily.

Answer 7

till when there would be resources you could live

Answer 8

You'd probably freak out from loneliness!

A good movie to watch that explores that is called, "The Omega Man."

It's old but good. Check it out.

And I hope you aren't the last person on earth!
