If or when human civilisation crumbles, a gigantic and unbreakable box will be the only thing that will remain. The box will store scientific data and provide future civilisations with information on how humanity collapsed. The project, dubbed Earth’s Black Box, is a massive steel monolith that will be built in a remote Tasmanian area, reported ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). It is similar to the black boxes that are designed to investigate airline disasters and provide crucial information about what led to the unfortunate event. The Earth Box is expected to be loaded with solar-powered hard drives that will document and preserve a stream of real-time scientific updates and analysis on the world’s most pressing problems.
