World War III ?

[PeterTheGrape]

World War I and II Had passed. All the countries tied in United Nation. However recently there seem grouping countries. They join in the military coalition. Islamic countries have allied. Some comunists countries also take position with the winning Russia in Syria helped by Iran.

US , China and other super power countries may prepare all the possibilities. Will World War III Problably happen? Where will it start from?

...
The only solution is to study the psychology of wars ...

... It was not starvation that started civil war in US and countries such as Russia had very turbulent histories despite the fact, that they span vast areas. ...

You are missing the point. If a person or group wants to start a war then it must, like any act, be rationalized. You should look for real causes, not justifications. If a person is hungry they will use justifications to get food. Likewise other needs. The confusion arises because hierarchies like Maslow's pyramid are not well understood so fictional motives pass easily among publics.

I will not say that large scale outer space human habitation will not be theoretically possible in the distant future. But the expenses associated with it will prevent individuals and corporations from doing that.

There is only one factor that limits space exploration and that is the energy needed for propulsant.

Once an adequate energy source is found that allows practically unlimited use of energy then there is no major limiting factor. Asteroids are often loaded with iron. If you have unlimited energy you can land a mill on a large asteroid and build hundreds of millions of tons of spaceships.

Even if some magic substance is found and the issue with propulsion is resolved, there are other more pressing issues. The first one is the severity of cosmic radiation in the outer space. Prolonged exposure can result in the death of the astronaut. Also, the sourcing of food and water is another major issue.

I believe that the third world war has already started long ago. Only now everyone is so lazy because of technological progress that the war is only on the monitors of computers, televisions and in the headphones of fans of radio.

Cosmic Radiation

1) If energy is unlimited it will be possible to extract as much of whatever metal is necessary to shield any number of beings from radiation.

2) If energy were unlimited then the cost of transport would not be a factor, so for example a person near the end of their life could help test factors involving radiation, the same way for example naval divers tested the factors involving deep water diving.

3) A lot is still unknown in physics. We don't even know for sure what all the subatomic particles are, but at least we are closer to the truth then when we did know, a long time ago.

Food and Water

Of course that is easy to solve and experiments have done to create a closed environment at least as far back as the 1970s. Many details of course will have to be adapted but that is one of the lesser problems. Even if you wanted french fries from McDonalds, if energy were unlimited you could launch a huge amount of them to a staging area to be forwarded to astronauts who did not want to dine on potatoes grown from turds.

I think the real limiting factor in space travel, aside from unlimited energy, is the lack of knowledge about gravity. Once that is solved and there is unlimited energy then the next problem that arises should be interesting.

Important to point out that the energy problem, the issue of unlimited energy, will probably be solved in large part by advances made in sciences through the algorithms of coins designed to develop a type of artificial intelligence. A lot of people are cautiously watching that.

I agree with you. The third world war has long been coming in the East. People don't want to admit it because they are afraid of losing their way of life.

Well i don't think so. Though if things escalate, we may not be far from having that third world war blow in our faces. Hopefully national leaders would be smart enough to know that we can't survive anything of that magnitude as a third world war would almost definitely be nuclear warfare.

[xijieboy-8]

Definitely，I will。 So far the main reason for the outbreak of the War III is the nuclear weapon is too strong, and countries do not have any defense against the ability to only use nuclear weapons checks and balances. When the progress of science and technology to the world major powers to counter defense and nuclear weapons, the world war cost does not destroy all humans when humanity in the dark side no longer restrained,War III
 is inevitable.

yeah ofcorse world war 3 will happen but not with guns and ammunitons but with stones and pebbles...hahahahahahha and that too on water....glaciers are melting and these f*****g politicians are just busy in there own quarrels!!!!

[yellow1]

yes i believe it will happen someday..sometimes they figthing example the one country to make  their law if a the other country is against to their law so it will happen get angry.
so we do not think that does not happen..,.especially in these times of high technology especially so much happen today in our country world ..in other country they no longer understand each other so maybe it will happen...

As long as we can't implement artificial intelligence, waging war using computers and robots will remain as a myth. A real war needs real soldiers and real weapons, and not the artificial ones and animations which we see in computer games.

I dont think that there is any chance of war in recent times due to following reasons:

1. Devastating costs.
A 3rd world war is likely to deteriorate into nuclear conflict; the initial aggressor being subjected to almost total destruction. There's no way to 'win'.

2. Lack of capacity.
Compared to the global empires of the early 1900's, most countries have vastly limited war making capacity. e.g. At the start of WWII France had about 5 million troops, in 2012 they have about 350,000. Our capacity has shrunk because war makes less sense in modern times. 

3. Insufficient motivation.
The few nations with the power to instigate a war have no political will to do so. See how unpopular the US/UK governments became after their relatively meagre invasion of Iraq. Even semi-despots like Putin would struggle to incite their populace to war.

If the rulers are adequate, then there will be no war, but we see a completely different picture. Some as the psychos shoot right and left, and others are afraid of something to say in response, Although they have the potential and potential. At this rate, we can finish the game until the third world.

In fact, no world leaders are ready to shoot to the right and left. Every leader is afraid to lose in case of war their power. They only shoot until they are allowed. In politics there are no random acts.

In the predictions it is said that the third world war will begin in the 24th century. I do not know how reliable this information is. The third world war will begin with robots or with aliens.

These predictions should be discarded in the trash. In fact, it has long been a third world war. Look how many countries are at war and each year they are joined by a new army. Do you not see?

[HatakeKakashi]

Peace is the best of this world.

Totally agree with you peace the best to our world. Don't try to start world war III why? Because many innocent people are affected , many structured destroy and even animals will die also. Let's try to communicate what the problems let's try the good solution to our problem. War is not good its very very bad what happen if war end can you see all destroy don't waste our time in war . love other people

[bra4our]

n my opinion World War 3 will start in the Middle East, The Arab nations will attack Israel, The USA will then go to the aid of of Israel which means the whole of Nato will join the fight, The Iranians will also attack which i think will bring Russia into the war. The Chinese may not enter the war but will be the sole Super Power after it ends.

seems you're too much watching Terminator or similar movies such as this however i was wondering that if this is happening on the 24th century probably we would not be the witness of these chaos and maybe our child or our grand childs would experience it

I agree with points #1 and #3. However, not so sure about #2. For example, North Korea is having an army of almost 4 million individuals (including reservists) who are highly motivated. The same can be said about certain other third world nations, including Iran and Pakistan.

Motivation is nice, but the motivation is not enough for victory. Experience is of great importance. I am sure that the army of North Korea don't have the experience for war.
