Old Population Predictions and the Date November 13, 2026
November 12, 2026
An old study from 1960 predicting that the human population would reach a point of self-destruction on November 13, 2026, has resurfaced. The study did not claim that a disaster would happen on that day but noted that the population would approach infinity. Professor Alan MacEachern points out that the predictions are inaccurate due to a significant decline in the global birth rate. Since 1993, estimates of the global population have started to deviate from the original predictions. The study's author, Heinz von Foerster, also had a background in magic, which may have influenced how the findings were presented.
