What would happen if we lived in a building 3,200 km high?

What would happen if all of humanity lived in a 2,000-foot-tall skyscraper? A surreal scenario reveals terrifying risks.

A building that could house all 8 billion people would need to be 3,200km high with 800,000 floors, reaching far beyond the atmosphere and officially into space. (Photo: Thanh Nien Viet)

To operate, the Earth Tower will need a complex electrical, water, waste treatment and oxygen circulation system like a giant space station. (Photo: Thanh Nien Viet)

Extreme temperatures, cosmic radiation and lack of oxygen mean that high altitudes require astronaut-like living equipment. (Photo: Thanh Nien Viet)

The lower floors will be covered in permanent darkness, facing poverty, crime and serious social inequality. (Photo: Thanh Nien Viet)

An elevator ride from the top to the bottom of the tower can take up to 37 days, much longer than a trip around the Earth. (Photo: Thanh Nien Viet)

Narrow living spaces can easily cause mental stress, infectious diseases and widespread psychological crises. (Photo: Adobe Stock)

The geographical distance between the lower and upper floors represents an unprecedented gap between rich and poor. (Photo: Dreamstime)

Although it is just science fiction, this idea warns us about the future of over-urbanization and the problem of living together on a finite planet. (Photo: Dreamstime)
