The End of the World on November 13, 2026: Why Scientists' Predictions Failed

According to ТСН: According to the "Doomsday Equation," created over 60 years ago, 2026 could be the last year for humanity. A group of researchers, including Heinz von Foerster, Patricia M. Moore, and Lawrence W. Amiot, in an article published in 1960 in the journal Science, defined a specific date for the end of the world: Friday, November 13, 2026.

The reasons behind these mathematical calculations are highlighted by LADbible.

"We will be crushed to death"

The researchers analyzed the population growth dynamics over the last 2000 years and found a worrying trend. Despite wars and epidemics, the number of people has been steadily increasing. From 1.6 billion in 1900, the population reached 3 billion in 1960.

The scientists developed a complex formula that indicated that if the growth rates continue, the Earth's population could reach "infinity" in November 2026.

"Our great-grandchildren will not starve to death. They will be crushed to death"

The study notes that although technologies can feed a large number of people, there simply won't be enough physical space, leading to self-destruction due to overpopulation.

Why are we still alive

Fortunately, the mathematical model did not account for social changes. The prediction failed because women in the world began to have fewer children.

Today, there are approximately 8.2 billion people on Earth, but the growth rates have significantly slowed down. According to the UN, the planet's population will peak (around 10.3 billion) in the 2080s, and by 2100 it may even start to decrease. The exponential explosion feared in the 60s did not happen.

When is the real end of the world

If we can survive 2026, when should we expect the real apocalypse? Modern scientists from Toho University (Japan) and NASA have a more distant forecast. According to their computer simulations, Earth will become uninhabitable around 1,000,002,021 (in a billion years).

The reason for this is the Sun, which is getting hotter and could lead to the evaporation of oceans and loss of oxygen in the atmosphere. So, we still have some time.

The researchers also revealed the dark side of humanity, showing how people might behave as the end of the world approaches.

Although predictions about the end of the world have always sparked great interest, real life shows us significant social changes. The slowdown in birth rates and technological advancements may provide humanity the opportunity to adapt to new conditions. The question of our future remains open, and only time will reveal how events will unfold.
