A 1960 study predicted that the world's population would reach infinity on November 13, 2026, using a mathematical model. Researchers Heinz von Foerster, Patricia Mora, and Lawrence Amiot analyzed population growth trends and concluded that if the current rate continued, it would lead to an unsustainable situation. However, this prediction did not materialize as global population growth has slowed significantly since the 1960s. Current UN projections estimate a peak of around 10.3 billion by the 2080s, followed by a gradual decline. The study serves as a reminder of how demographic trends can change over time.
