No, a 1960 study does not predict the end of the world tomorrow. Physicist Heinz von Foerster and his team extrapolated population growth and, hypothetically, concluded that the curve would reach infinity on November 13, 2026, if growth continued accelerating without slowing. But fertility and population growth rates have declined: growth fell from over 2% in 1963 to under 1% in 2020. The United Nations projects that the world’s population will peak at around 10.3 billion in the mid-2080s before beginning to decline, meaning the study’s prediction will not come true.
