Scientists predicted humanity would end on November 12, 2026

@BackyardMusings For decades, a doomsday equation predicted population growth better than most experts, until falling birth rates undermined its forecast of catastrophe in 2026. In 1960, Science, one of the world’s leading science journals, published an article with an unambiguous title: Doomsday: Friday, 13 November, A.D. 2026. It predicted that on this future date—just over a month from lasty week—the human population would approach infinity and effectively annihilate itself.
