Sir Isaac Newton Letter Dated Back To 1704 Makes Eerie Prediction For When The World Will End

By: Tom Chapman | UNILAD Tech

While constant advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and even the way social media works have us all thinking about the so-called world of tomorrow, there’s a grim realization that one day, there won’t be a tomorrow for the human race.

Even though it’s possible Elon Musk will see through his plans to have us living on Mars when the Earth goes to s**t, the sad fact is that nothing can go on forever.

Even our solar system will one day fall into darkness when the Sun burns out.

We’ll all thankfully be long gone by then, but in the more immediate future, there are worries that we’ll be wiped out by our own means.

Predictions from 1995 show how far off the mark we were at foreseeing where the tech industry was heading, but given how fast things have been moving in recent years, it’s hard to keep track of what the world will look like tomorrow, let alone in 30 years.

Amazingly, a resurfaced letter from 1704 sees Sir Isaac Newton predict when the world will end. Sorry to tell you, we might not have long left.

Baba Vanga 2025 Predictions: Apocalypse-Incoming? Europe War, Alien Invasion

Despite the prediction coming from over 300 years ago, Newton claims that the world will ‘reset’ in 2060.

This is based on Newton’s Protestant interpretation of the Bible, using maths and dates within to pinpoint the specific year.

Crunching the numbers, Newton picked out days numbered 1260, 1290, and 2300 in the Book of Daniel and Revelations, but interpreted them as milestone years.

Deciphering 800AD as when the abandonment of the church officially began and the Holy Roman Empire was founded, he then deduced that the world would reset 1,260 years later.

In his letter, Newton added that the world could end later, but that it would be no sooner than 2060: “This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, and by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predications fail.”

Back in 2003, Professor Stephen D. Snobelen from the University of King’s College in Halifax spoke about the all-important date and explained that Newton wasn’t a scientist, but a philosopher: “For Newton, there was no impermeable barrier between religion and what we now call science. Throughout his long life, Newton laboured to discover God’s truth – whether in Nature or Scripture.”

The good news is that it might not be an ‘end’ in a traditional sense, with Snobelen expanding: “For Newton, 2060 AD would be more like a new beginning. It would be the end of an old age, and the beginning of a new era – the era Jews refer to the Messianic age and the era premillenarian Christians term the Millennium or Kingdom of God.”

It’s not all doom and gloom, because if Newton is right, 2060 should usher in a new era when Jesus Christ will return and found a global kingdom of peace on Earth for the following 1,000 years.

Also, while Newton’s prediction means we’ve only got 35 years left before our ultimate demise, it gives us a little more time than Nostradamus has. The famed astrologer claimed that a “harbinger of fate” asteroid will fall from the skies in 2025. If that wasn’t enough, fellow ‘mystic’ Baba Vanga also predicted a deadly war in Europe this year. Things will hopefully look a little brighter before the supposed end of days in 2060.

Doomsday Clock Has Officially Been Moved By Scientists To Signal How Close We Are To End of The World

As we settle down into 2025 after a January that feels like it has lasted for months, some of the world’s leading scientists have updated the Doomsday Clock and brought us back to reality with a bang.

Formed back in 1947, the Doomsday Clock was set up by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists as a way to register how close society and civilisation as we know it is to falling apart. It was inspired partly by the testing of the first ever atomic bomb during the Trinity Test and Manhattan Project; two events you’ve likely seen dramatised if you went to watch Oppenheimer.

Scientists J. Robert Oppenheimer, Albert Einstein, and Eugene Rabinowitch were the three men who founded the clock, which looks at the threat of those apocalyptic scenarios we’re more than common with when it comes to watching said Hollywood blockbuster or the latest natural disaster drama.

Now, for 2025, the Doomsday Clock has been moved closer and is now 89 seconds to midnight.

In 2023, the Bulletin moved the clock to 90 seconds to midnight and it remained there for 2024. That was the closest it has ever been to midnight in the history of the clock’s existence until today’s (28 January) announcement.

Last year, Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said this was because of a continued threat to humanity and the Earth through nuclear weapons, climate change, artificial intelligence (AI), ongoing conflict, and future pandemics.

What Does The Doomsday Clock Actually Mean?

In the words of the Bulletin itself, the Doomsday Clock is a metaphor; something that serves as ‘a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet’.

It is designed to warn the public about ‘how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making’.

That could be through climate change and damaging the environment to energy uncertainty or conflict between nations.
