Not dead, simply gone, just like that. How would suburban pets fare without people to feed them? How would the forests, the oceans and the wildlife react if there was suddenly an end to all the hunting, fishing and farming? After being on the receiving end of humanity for millennia, nature would finally be given a chance to take the world back. But how would it work? How long would the skyscrapers and houses last if they were abandoned? Aftermath: Population Zero - The World without HumansThis is a fascinating documentary. It's quite long, but extremely interesting. What would happen if, tomorrow, every single person on Earth simply disappeared? “Aftermath” is the astounding story of a world that humans will never see. The two-hour special examines the impact of human beings on this planet by proposing what the Earth might be like without people.
Oh yes. No. 15. Also the one about Cleopatra is unbelievable!

I expect it's online somewhere. But that is mind boggling isn't it.
Especially if you imagine a T Rex with a giant iPhone
WOW!
It would be peaceful.
Have you seen that information that says something like: The T Rex is closer in time to the iPhone than to the Stegosaurus.
Something like that! Mind blowing.
Depends on the isotopes - long lived is good - it means that there are only a few particles coming off every now and then but for a very long time . Short-lived means it's all coming off together so much more dose uptake if you're stood there.
But all of this will be behind metres of concrete - no problem..
You'd be surprised at how much natural radiation is around you - the sun - blasting you every day. People love a tan - but that's your skin showing radiation damage! If that happened in a work environment, there's be a massive enquiry. .
Radon seeping out of the ground - bananas! quite radioactive!
Why does that sound like a good thing!?
Isn't the half life in some case hundreds of thousands of years though?
I have seen it.
I gather though the life span of dogs there is half what it is outside Chernobyl. Insects and birds dpnt5fare as well either
That would put a whe new spin on the expression 'the chickens would come home to roost'.They say the chicken is the nearest relative to T Rex
Dogs and cats would simply go feral, and there are already plenty of feral animals. Australia see cats as vermin - an alien species that has got out of hand
that's me, that is!
within 100 years you would hardly know we have been here
thanks --- it is just one of the default ones no effort at all on my part
You have to ignore Plastic today, O. He's being deliberately obtuse!
OH cool well I'm glad that's a thing hahah I thought it would be thousands of Chernobyls
O said:After a certain amount of time the nuclear reactors around the world would meltdown and explode
No - they would automatically SCRAM and so would then just gradually melt down - the internals of the reactor would eventually collapse and burn though the primary containment - the reactor's guts would then mix with the sand in the secondary containment to form a solid lump of glass and there would be no further criticality - it would just sit there for ever while the radiation decays away.
I really like your profile photo!
After a certain amount of time the nuclear reactors around the world would meltdown and explode and that wouldn't be very good for environment not sure about nuclear weapons but mostly nature would reclaim all the concrete jungles we've created and there would be massive animal population boom as they start to move into the cities I would think.
Ultimately it would go back to how it was before we were here most of the worlds history we were never there to see.
