It's the end of the world as we know it, per a physicist's 1960 prediction

A 1960 paper by physicist Heinz von Foerster predicted that humanity would reach a breaking point due to overpopulation by November 13, 2026. While his model accurately measured past population growth, it failed to account for changing trends and the eventual decline in birth rates. Despite its flaws, the paper's projections were surprisingly accurate for several decades before diverging from reality.
