Human beings are everywhere. With settlements on every continent, we can be found in the most isolated corners of Earth’s jungles, oceans and tundras. Our impact is so profound, most scientists believe humanity has left a permanent mark on Earth’s geological record. So what would happen if suddenly, every human on Earth disappeared? Dan Kwartler investigates.

A nuclear reactor is using fission, but fission isn't something ENTIRELY self-sustainable, it needs to be triggered every once in a while to cause the rod to head up, essentialy making a nuclear reactor able to "cool down" and stop working. For instance, Chernobyl, its still radioactive, sealed inside a huge lead "tomb" after they managed to drain the water that could've leaked into the superheated reactor and cause an explosive expansion. Nuclear powerplants nowadays are designed to never go BOOM, worst-case scenario is a meltdown that causes a leak of radioactivity, and I think even that have its own killswitch. Hence decades later all we had was Fukushima because of an earthquake that killed the cooling system. Meltdown ensued, no Boom.

Interesting thought. To make it a bit more interesting, if they discovered Mount Rushmore, or any other remnants of intelligent life that remains, but they discover long enough after we are gone that it is clear no intelligent life has been present for hundreds of thousands of years, they would have to consider the fact that possibly the "aliens" have moved on to some other planet. They would have to consider the possibility that "we" never truly resided here but discovered earth, played around a bit, and moved on. In other words, just like them.

If every human disappeared, every light would eventually be turned off. Right now, even during the night, cities can be seen glowing from space. And even if an entire city in one country is shut down without electricity, there’ll be other countries in a different time zone with their lights still on. So when humans disappear, light bulbs will run out and the Earth will “finally go dark.”

There was a great TV series called Life Without People which explored various elements of this per episode. The main take-away for me is how the nuclear powerplants are left. The actual reactors should be safe enough as they will go into safe-mode but the cooling pools where the spent rods are stored will evaporate and this will lead to a meltdown resulting in water tables becoming unsafe for animals. There aren't many corners of the globe where nuclear powerplants don't exist.
