COMPUTER PREDICTS WORLD WILL END IN 2040

In 1704, using a series of calculations, Isaac Newton predicted the world would end sometime around the year 2060.

Almost 300 years later, in 1973, a computer at MIT made the prediction that life as we know it will end around the year 2040.

It also predicted that some of the first signs would be seen in the year 2020.

Some of its predictions have come true and scientists are taking this seriously.

But can we trust the study? Can we trust ANY study?

Probably not.

Let's find out why.
