The scientist predicted the end of the world on Friday, November 13, 2026

The world will end on November 13, 2026. This prediction was made by physicist Heinz von Foerster. He worked at the University of Illinois. His research scientist published in 1960 in the journal Science. The date falls on Friday the 13th, emphasizes the New York Post.

The death of people from a mass stampede due to endless population growth exponentially 66 years ago, in 1960, predicted in the journal Science physicist University of Illinois Heinz von Foerster, examining 24 estimates over 2000 years, and eight years later the idea was supported by biologist Paul R. Ehrlich in the article “Popular Science”.

Since 1993, however, birth rates have halved due to urbanization, contraception, medicine, sanitation and agriculture, so scientists have misjudged the future.

According to the UN, by 2084, the world’s population will reach 10.3 billion and begin to decline, threatening the economy and health. A new threat in the form of AI at a meeting of the city Council of New York was voiced by the retired Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, recalling the words of Ian Malcolm John Hammond from Jurassic Park:

“Companies operate on a startup principle: act fast, break things, fix them later.” It works for a photo-sharing app. It does not work to create the most powerful technology ever created.”.
