Data de 13 noiembrie 2026 indică „Apocalipsa” într-un studiu din 1960. Ce nu au luat în calcul cercetătorii

A scientific prediction from 66 years ago, linking a population threshold to November 13, 2026, is revisited as demographic trends have shifted. Originally published in 1960, the study by Heinz von Foerster and colleagues suggested that if historical growth rates continued, the population would approach infinity by that date. However, modern estimates indicate a peak of around 10.3 billion by 2084, followed by a decline due to decreasing birth rates. The focus has shifted from overpopulation fears to the implications of low birth rates and aging populations. Current global concerns include climate change and geopolitical conflicts, rather than the apocalyptic scenarios of the past.
