FUTUROLOGY: THE NATURE AND FORM OF 21ST CENTURY

In today’s modern times a new branch of science has emerged called “Futurology” or science of the future. This branch of science after analyzing and gauging contemporary situations infer what shall happen in future. It is true that on the basis of present times at least a little bit of future events can be predicted. If a person today is involved in vile tasks we may infer that his future shall be bad and yet this inference may prove to be wrong. If in time he/she rectifies these errors his/her future is rendered such that one can experience joy.

Regarding future times to arrive New York’s (USA) Hudson Institute’s futurologists have put forth some observations. The director of the institute Herman Kohn along with his co researcher Anthony Weiner writes regarding solving dangers pertaining to agriculture and food grain harvest that in the 1st decade of the 21st century man will realize his mistakes and will make speedy efforts to overcome them. Within this people shall be more interested in agriculture and sowing new trees than in industrial production. By giving trees fertilizers, water and overall protection people will think it to be their sacred duty to help them grow in a lush green fashion. This shall be looked upon as meritorious deeds (Punya) by religious people and the test as to who is greatly imbued with Ridhi-Sidhi (wealth and divine powers) shall be as to who is more involved in rendering the entire world balanced and warding off all activities that leads to its destruction. Many types of common food items and fluids shall emerge which shall be nature oriented. As a new option for today’s industrialization man shall be capable of unveiling such a science that shall have no destructive reactions.

Regarding scarcity of energy resources they write that before fossil fuels like coal, petrol and diesel get depleted the human race shall be capable enough of using energy sources like solar power and geothermal energy and the means to unearth and generate these shall be easy and straightforward. In the true sense of the term within the material arena the fount of available energy shall be the sun. The use of nuclear energy by scientists shall be for world development and not for destructive goals. Its central point shall be peaceful use of nuclear power so as to generate energy.

Regarding the biological development of the human physical body they opine that the human community slowly but surely is heading towards a newly created race which will 2001 AD shall exhibit miraculous feats. Neo creation in human race shall be witnessed astoundingly by people wherein people will get attracted more to spirituality than materialism. There will be unveiled new methods of gaining sound health, nature based therapy shall be used for weight loss programs, human bodily counterparts shall exist that can be used at perilous times and experiments of give and take via brain waves. All this shall enhance people’s love for spirituality. In order to obstruct overpopulation, ancient time remedies will be taken recourse to.

When the entire world shall be transformed into a peaceful family the number of criminals shall automatically dwindle to naught. A sense of world brotherhood will ooze in the souls of mankind and that not only will they themselves not act unethically but shall oppose it tooth and nail when others do so. True Brahmin-hood shall reawaken and its only basis shall be use of minimal material means by diminishing their daily needs.

All world nations by uniting as a peaceful family shall think over a collective remedy for air and waterborne pollution because the pollution witnessed in today’s modern times is somehow or the other negatively influencing every nook and corner of the world. In this manner no bondage as far as geographical borders between nations shall remain and when all countries united try to solve world problems a new single world government will take birth. This will be that very hour termed “21st century-A bright future” by great seers and visionaries.
