'Doomsday Scoreboard' shows how many 'end of the world' predictions have come true

The question of 'How will the world end?' has long been a topic of fear and worry for humanity, and many prophets have appeared since ancient times to answer this question, predicting various 'ends of the world.' Doomsday Scoreboard is a website that comprehensively covers such doomsday prophecies.

The first prophecy, found in the book '

The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy, ' predicts that between 2005 and 2026, America will experience a crisis known as the 'Fourth Turning.'' While the specific nature of this crisis is unknown, it is said to be social unrest on a scale comparable to the revolution, the Civil War, and the Great Depression.

The second prediction, from the book ' Limits to Growth ,' states that 'industrial production will peak around 2020, and the population will peak between 2025 and 2030, after which it will begin to decline due to resource depletion and pollution.' Although this prediction has been updated several times, actual measured data is still said to be within the range of the predicted scenario.

Additional information is provided below with the number of days and a link to the corresponding prophecy.

Number of days since the most recent failed prediction: 66 days at the time of writing
・Number of days remaining until the next prediction: 8 days at the time of writing

Further down, you'll see a list of all the end-time prophecies that have been made. The oldest one was made between 66 and 70 AD by the Jewish leader Simon Bar Giora around the time of the Jewish War . Looking through all the old prophecies, I found that they all had either Jewish or Christian belief systems.

Among the famous end-of-the-world prophecies, the prophecy of the ' King of Terror ' by Nostradamus was naturally included. Although he has now become a little known figure, back in 1999 it seemed as if not a day went by without seeing or hearing about Nostradamus' name.

I was curious about the most future apocalyptic prophecies, so I looked it up and found one for the year 5079 AD. It was a prophecy by

Baba Vanga, a famous Bulgarian prophet. The prophecy only stated vaguely that 'the world will end in 5079 AD,' but the Wikipedia article states that the end of the world will occur ' because humanity will move from our current universe to another universe, ' so perhaps there's no need to be so pessimistic.

The 'Doomsday Scoreboard' contains a total of 300 doomsday prophecies, with just under 20 still awaiting results, so if you're interested, it might be worth taking a look at the site and pondering the end of humanity.
