462:) 20:43, 30 September 2014 (UTC) It is entirely conceivable that there might be one trillion or more notable topics in the future. For example, it has been estimated that the Earth will have a population of one million million million people by 3000AD. This is said to be the maximum possible population and would require considerable feats of engineering to support it. (Lyall Watson PhD, "Standing Room Only", Eagle and Boys' World, 21 October 1967). By dividing the number of people included in a biographical dictionary of notable living people in a particular country into that country's population (65.64 million ÷ 33,000), I think it possible to estimate that very roughly one in two thousand people are notable. That would lead to a figure of very roughly 500 trillion BLPs by the year 3000AD. So I think we should start

never be anywhere near enough material out there in the world for it to be covered in a trillion
Knowledge articles. At least, not before humanity extinguishes themselves and destroys the Earth and every bit of information left on it at that point. But, if I had to guess when that happens, I would say within the next 300 years. Even if it was salvaged by an alien race, they wouldn't be able to begin to comprehend the sheer amount of stupidity caused by us humans. See also: 99.99999999% of people who have and will ever live.
1028:. Also, Knowledge could just be overtaken by a rival company or something and be shut down. Sure, most of humanity would grieve the loss of boundless knowledge, but the capitalists will read back their greedy, white supremacist heads and laugh a deep and throaty laugh as Jimbo weeps. Jesus will be rolling around in his grave.

Not happening. It's taken over 17 years to get this far, and considering that the human race has been steadily falling down the evolutionary ladder in every way imaginable, I don't think that humans would live long enough for there to be that many articles. Not to mention that there will most likely

June 31, 90482098 - by this time, the length of the year will have changed enough that June has 31 days. Some bored college student will hack the universal internet processing power, which will be possible by then, and have a bot create one trillion junk articles, which he will have the capability

I think never is a safe bet. If it does happen, the article will either be about someone's garage band or it will be someone spamming
Knowledge and trying to pretend their unknown product and/or company is notable. Feel free to ping me and trout-slap me if I am proven wrong!

Knowledge articles have to have some type of quality to them. For example, my specific pen cap does not deserve it's own article. For the amount of time for there to be a trillion things worth mentioning; I believe the society that had needed
