In Australia, a "black box" project that preserves human history is being implemented.
If a global crisis occurs, this "black box" will help future generations understand what happened in human history.
The Earth's Black Box project is being implemented in the western part of Tasmania. As part of the project, a steel monolith approximately ten meters long is being constructed, designed to record the history of humanity and the possible reasons for its demise. The BILD publication reported on this.
The steel structure, with a thickness of 7.5 centimeters, is geologically stable and will be installed on a granite base in a remote location. The project's authors include the University of Tasmania, the Clemenger BBDO agency, and The Glue Society art group.
The device operates on solar energy and is designed for autonomous service for centuries. Inside, data storage systems are placed that continuously record atmospheric SO₂ concentration, air and ocean temperatures, ocean acidification levels, energy consumption, political decisions, news, and publications on social networks.
The project authors emphasize that in the event of a global crisis, this "black box" will help future generations understand what happened in human history. The full launch of the system is planned for 2026.
