Apocalypse: Apocalypse to science (Part 1)

In recent years, speculations and forecasts about apocalypse have become more and more numerous. There have been many false forecasts, but new forecasts still appear . Especially, in 2017, there are many predictions that will be the time of the end of the world. What do these predictions really do?

In recent years, there have been many natural disasters, plus rare natural phenomena . that have made the theory of apocalypse a chance to get to the station. Many scientists have begun to study apocalyptic possibilities, while those who believe in spirituality seek out an explanation in the Bible or prophecies.

Revelation and Nostradamus

The most believing prophecy is what is written in the Revelation of the New Testament. Accordingly, there will be a day when God comes back to judge humanity for the last time, also called Judgment Day. However, the exact time of Judgment Day is not mentioned, only knowing that before the Lord will come again there will be catastrophes for humans, such as war, epidemics, politicians will persecuted .

In Revelation, the number 666 is referred to as the number of Satan demons, so many people in the 17th century claimed that the earth was destroyed in 1666. But that year, the disaster only claimed 10 people, the earth still existed. in. Researchers believe that people misunderstood the Bible.

In addition, there are a number of well-known historical prophets who have been forecasting the end of the world, including Nostradamus (French), famous for accurate predictions for centuries before the event. that happens. Nostradamus is said to have correctly predicted many "shocking" events in the world, such as the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the rise of Adolf Hitler's fascist leader and Donald Trump's presidential election. It is believed that more than half of Nostradamus's prophecies were fulfilled.

Another famous prophet, nicknamed "Nostradamus of Italy" is Matteo Tafuri (1492-1582), also gave predictions about the end of the world. The prophecy written in a diary hidden by Tafuri in his room and recently discovered by researchers, wrote: "2 days of snowfall in Salento, 2 light trails in the sky. I know that the end will come ". Salento is a place in southern Italy, warm all year round and almost never snowed. However, what frightened people was that in January 2017, the place suddenly appeared snowfall for two days in a row, just as the prophecy said about 500 years ago.

Some people try to predict the end of the world with scientific theories, notably the theory of planet X, or Nibiru.

Planet X

Some people try to predict the end of the world with scientific theories, notably the theory of planet X, or Nibiru. Famous recent book named Planet X - The 2017 Arrival by author David Meade. According to Meade, planet X is actually a star, centered around 7 planets and moons - including Nibiru.

According to him, scientists around the world have not seen planet X or Nibiru because they are approaching from a different angle, above the Antarctic."This makes observation difficult - unless you're flying over South America on a high level with a great camera," Meade wrote.

Independent scientists have speculated on the existence of another planet - often called Planet X - since the 19th century. But this theory was not supported. So in 1976, when writer Zecharia Sitchin claimed to have found a description of the giant planet named Nibiru in the Babylonian documents, he was ridiculed. Until recently, scientists at the California Institute of Technology found evidence that the theory of Nibiru might be correct.

The researchers claim to find evidence of a ninth planet 15 times larger than the size of the Earth in the dark circle outside the solar system last year. They named the planet Planet 9. The planet is said to have lost up to 20,000 years of Earth to travel an orbit around the Sun. Like Meade, they claim Planet 9 is approaching the earth from an oblique angle. They also say it is so big that its gravitational magnetic field is actually making the sun and the solar system tilt at a six-degree angle. In addition, astronomers at the California Institute of Technology also argue that we will see Planet 9 / Planet X / Nibiru in the winter of 2017.

Stephen Hawking's prediction

Stephen Hawking is considered the genius physicist of the world today. He made a prediction of 4 scenarios that will bring the earth to the end of the world.First , that is the risk of nuclear war. "The biggest failure of humans is that it is aggression. This action helps people to improve their survival in the dark period of life in the cave, to gain more food, territory or partner. But for now, the aggression threatens to destroy everything "- Prof. Hawking said. The threat of nuclear war is considered real, especially when it was developed by countries that did not comply with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The second is global warming. According to GS. Hawking, we can't know when global warming will end. But the worst case scenario is that Earth will be like Venus, where temperatures reach 250 ° C and acid rain. Humanity cannot exist in such an environment.

Third , the risk of artificial viruses. GS. Hawking warned that genetically modified viruses could erase the entire population. How genes work is something that people cannot understand. Changing part of the DNA sequence does not always produce the desired result. Instead, it can produce unwanted consequences, like the development of an uncontrollable virus. Mr. Hawking warned, it may only be a matter of time before the antibiotic-resistant virus appears. That's what people can't imagine.

Fourth, GS. Hawking warned that humans could be invented by the machines themselves, as in Hollywood's "Terminator"."Artificial intelligence can create a global arms race. World War 3 will mark the emergence of self-propelled weapons, after gunpowder and nuclear weapons. While humanity continues to play It is important to be alert to the dangers that people approach in science and technology " - GS. Hawking said.
