Study from 1960 predicted the world will end next month

1 Sec To Midnight?

The end of the world is just a month away, according to a scientific paper published 66 years ago.

The 1960 paper, published in the prestigious journal Science, predicted the date of Doomsday would be Friday 13th of November, 2026.

Written by Austrian American physicist Heinz von Foerster alongside researchers from the University of Illinois, the study analysed historical demographic trends to conclude that world population growth was hyper-exponential.

It is the closest it has ever been to midnight, with world leading scientists pointing to the dangers of global war, climate change, and out-of-control AI.

“Our current trajectory is unsustainable,” John Mecklin, editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said at the unveiling of the latest Doomsday Clock in January.

Life imitates art far more than art imitates life

"Life imitates art far more than art imitates life" is a philosophical concept—known as anti-mimesis—stating that people, nature, and real-world events mirror the forms, styles, and ideas invented by artists.

Key Class Ideas

Oscar Wilde’s Theory: In his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying, Wilde argued that nature has no intrinsic shape or beauty until art teaches us how to look at it. For example, he claimed London fogs were "invented" by impressionist painters and poets because no one noticed their beauty until art captured them. [1, 2, 3]
Perception and Behavior: Humans naturally adopt the aesthetics, worldviews, and behaviors popularized in movies, literature, and paintings. [1, 2]
Defictionalization: As tracked on TV Tropes, hypothetical inventions, sci-fi concepts, and storytelling tropes frequently turn into real-world technology or actual events. [1]
Art Imitates Life (The Flip Side): While Wilde focused on the reverse, traditional mimesis (championed by Plato and others) holds that art is merely a reflection or copy of the physical world. In consensus from community discussions like Reddit, the two forces exist in a continuous loop where creators draw from reality, and society then reshapes reality to match the art.

AI Wrote

Mike Ditka, the legendary Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end and iconic Chicago Bears head coach, died today, October 9, 2026, at the age of 86. His family announced his passing in a statement Friday morning, remembering him as "the heart of our family". Affectionately known as "Iron Mike" and "Da Coach," Ditka remains one of the most prominent, charismatic, and gritty figures in National Football League (NFL) history. [1, 2]

Following the news, tributes poured in from around the sports world, including former President Barack Obama, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and traditional rivals like the Green Bay Packers. To honor his monumental legacy, Chicago's Willis Tower will illuminate its antennas in orange and blue. [1, 2, 3, 4]

A Revolutionary Playing Career

Born Michael Dyczko in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, Ditka honed his legendary toughness in the steel town of Aliquippa. He played college football at the University of Pittsburgh before being selected 5th overall by the Chicago Bears in the 1961 NFL Draft. [1, 2, 3]

Ditka completely revolutionized the tight end position, transforming it from a primary blocking assignment into a dynamic downfield receiving threat. [1, 2]

• Rookie Sensation: He won the UPI NFL Rookie of the Year award in 1961 after becoming the first tight end in league history to surpass 1,000 receiving yards in a single season. [1]
• Championship Pedigree: He won an NFL Championship as a player with the Bears in 1963 and later won Super Bowl VI as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. He retired with five Pro Bowl selections and two First-Team All-Pro honors. [1, 2]

The Legend of "Da Coach"

After serving as an assistant coach under Tom Landry for the Cowboys (winning Super Bowl XII), Ditka returned to Chicago as head coach in 1982. [1, 2]

• The 1985 Bears: He reached the pinnacle of his coaching career by leading the historic 1985 Chicago Bears to a 15-1 regular-season record. Boasting one of the most feared and dominant defenses in NFL history, the team capped off their legendary run by crushing the New England Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX. [1, 2]
• Rare NFL Feat: Alongside Tom Flores, Ditka is one of only two people in football history to win an NFL title as a player, an assistant coach, and a head coach. [1]
• Later Coaching: He coached the Bears until 1992 and later had a three-year stint coaching the New Orleans Saints from 1997 to 1999. [1]

Off-Field Icon and Cultural Impact

Ditka's slicked-back hair, thick mustache, aviator sunglasses, and trademark Bears sweater vest cemented him as a larger-than-life pop-culture icon. He was famously lampooned in the classic Saturday Night Live "Bill Swerski's Superfans" sketches, where fans toasted to "Da Bears" and "Da Coach." [1, 2]

Following his coaching retirement, he spent decades as a prominent, unvarnished broadcaster for NBC, CBS, and ESPN. In his later years, he became a passionate advocate for retired NFL players, establishing the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund to provide medical and financial support to pioneers of the game. [1, 2]
