You would have a record in the geological strata, in the plastics that are deposited in a near even layer in the sediments, along with a nice layer of them acting as a step change in the record, with a mass extinction event from all the species going extinct.

This is really an interesting scenario! But the question is could this scemario really happen, all of us will dissapear, will the climate change's disasters, the nuclear war, pandemia, robots takeower, the asteroid impact or even the Alien invasion, okay that's just too much, but maybe something could happen and kill us all. Our pets dogs, cats, everyone will die to starve, or they will try to find food in the houses or get free and fighting for food, nature will take every buildings in the cities and villages, but I believe there will always be some signs that there were humans long long ago, even a Coca Cola bottle at the beach would be a sign of us! I believe this scenario would actually be possible, but it makes me to think if there's alien civilizations somewhere in space, could they visit on Earth after all the humans vanished? I think that Earth would be even better after humans because we only destroy the nature! Thank you for an interesting video What If! I would love to see more videos about space please! 😮
