We agree on one thing...we will see.
People back in 1945 said that Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be wastelands for 10,000 years. Some people still say that to frighten people about nuclear weapons, "If New York is hit by a nuclear weapon, it will be a wasteland for 10,000 years".
Well Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't wastelands for 10,000 years. In fact, the rebuilding of both cities commenced within a year of their destruction. Unfortunately, the current generation of Japanese citizenry has been propagandized by the world-wide anti-nuke propaganda machine; so I can't predict when they will come to their senses and begin a recovery in earnest.
I have other things to do than just monitor / correct the scientific falsehoods perpetrated on this forum.
The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
