End of the world in 2026?/ Austrian scientist predicts the date

Every few years, humanity is given a 'new deadline' for the end of the world.

Now, another supposed moment for this event has come to light; Friday, November 13, 2026.

This prediction did not come from a conspiracy forum, but from a physicist with extensive knowledge in mathematics and a slightly 'evil' sense of humor.

The person in question was Heinz von Foerster, a scientist born in Vienna on November 13, 1911, yes, the very date that later became associated with the hypothetical 'expiration' of humanity.

Von Foerster grew up surrounded by intellectuals, artists and thinkers, which perhaps explains why his academic interests crossed over between disciplines such as physics and philosophy./CNA
