Scientists have predicted the end of the world this Friday.
Back in 1960, the Austrian physicist Heinz von Forster and two of his colleagues calculated that due to the rapid growth of the Earth's population, by 2026 the number of people could reach infinity.
Scientists have not specified the exact date of the apocalypse, but von Forster decided to choose November 13, 2026.
However, there is no need to panic. The calculations were based on population growth rates at that time, but since then the situation has changed. Today, there are about 8.3 billion people living on Earth, and population growth has slowed considerably.
