What will be left if human civilization collapses? Maybe some of the cities. The Statue of Liberty is similar to the Planet of the Apes. There might not be a lot of evidence left about what happened to humanity.
A group of researchers want to change that. Their solution? The box will record scientific data to give future insight on how exactly humanity fell.
The steel monolith will be installed in a remote location. It is similar to the black boxes that are designed to survive airplane crashes and provide investigators valuable data on what led to the disaster.
The recorder is indestructible.
The project is a collaboration between researchers at the University of Tasmania, a marketing agency, and a creative agency.
The team is designing a box to record climate data. It will gather contextual information like news headlines and social media posts.
The executive creative director at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation said that if the Earth crashes as a result of climate change, the indestructible recording device will be there for whoever is left to learn from that.
Live a good life.
The box will be made from three-inch-thick steel and granite. The box will have a system of storage drives powered by solar panels on the roof.
The Glue Society built it to outlive everyone, according to Jonathan Kneebone. If the power grids go down, this thing will still be there.
How to help future civilizations access the information is the biggest issue for the team. They will find a monolith in the middle of nowhere, and we know how that worked out for us.
Australia Broadcasting Corporation reported that Earth is getting a black box to record our climate change actions.
The cookie maker built a vault to protect its cookies from a harmful asteroid.
