World End in Eight Days
The circulating story traces back to an article published by the newspaper *Watani* on November 29, 1964, based on a study of population growth that appeared in *Science* in 1960. According to a mathematical model assuming that historical growth rates would continue, the study projected that the world’s population would theoretically tend toward infinity on November 13, 2026. This is a mathematical singularity, not a prediction of the end of the world or of a catastrophe. The story has circulated again as the date draws near, even though population projections are shaped by changing factors, including fertility, mortality, and economic and social shifts.
