Italian News by RSSIl Fatto Quotidiano: “La fine del mondo sarà venerdì 13 novembre 2026”: torna virale un vecchio studio del fisico austriaco Heinz von Foerster pubblicato nel 1960 su “Science”
In questi giorni è tornato virale un vecchio studio del 1960 pubblicato sulla rivista Science e che riguarda la data, probabile, della fine del mondo. Il fisico austriaco Heinz von Foerster non ha avuto dubbi nell’indicare venerdì 13 novembre 2026. Il rapporto tra la crescita demografica mondiale e la disponibilità delle risorse del pianeta Terra rappresenta una questione di fondamentale importanza. Secondo le stime degli esperti, il prossimo venerdì 13 segnerà un momento cruciale per l’umanità intera.
Nel 1960, Heinz von Foerster ha pubblicato un rivoluzionario studio in cui elaborato un modello matematico capace di mettere in relazione la crescita della popolazione mondiale con le risorse disponibili sul nostro pianeta. Un concetto che ricorda da vicino quello dell'”Overshoot Day”, la data in cui ogni anno l’umanità esaurisce il proprio “budget ecologico”, consumando più risorse di quante la Terra riesca a rigenerarne nel medesimo arco di tempo.
Da allora, la crescita demografica globale ha subito un rallentamento significativo, modificando in parte le basi su cui il fisico austriaco aveva fondato la sua analisi. Eppure, il suo modello conserva una straordinaria attualità, rappresentando ancora oggi un monito prezioso per le generazioni future. C’è chi trova riduttivo liquidare il suo lavoro come una semplice profezia apocalittica, alla stregua delle previsioni Maya.
L’obiettivo di von Foerster era ben più profondo e lungimirante: accendere i riflettori su una delle sfide più urgenti della nostra epoca, ovvero la gestione responsabile ed efficiente delle risorse naturali che il pianeta ci offre, promuovendo modelli di vita realmente sostenibili, prima che sia troppo tardi.

“The end of the world will be Friday, November 13, 2026”: an old study by Austrian physicist Heinz von Foerster, published in 1960 in “Science,” returns to go viral.
In recent days, an old study from 1960 published in the journal Science has gone viral, concerning the likely date of the end of the world. Austrian physicist Heinz von Foerster was unequivocal in stating Friday, November 13, 2026. The relationship between global demographic growth and the availability of Earth’s resources represents a fundamental issue. According to experts’ estimates, the next Friday the 13th will mark a crucial moment for all of humanity.
In 1960, Heinz von Foerster published a revolutionary study in which he developed a mathematical model capable of relating the growth of the world’s population with the resources available on our planet. A concept that closely resembles that of the “Overshoot Day,” the date each year when humanity exhausts its “ecological budget,” consuming more resources than the Earth can regenerate within the same timeframe.
Since then, global demographic growth has slowed significantly, partially altering the foundations upon which the Austrian physicist based his analysis. Yet, his model retains extraordinary relevance, still serving as a valuable warning for future generations. Some find it reductive to dismiss his work as a simple apocalyptic prophecy, like the Mayan predictions.
Von Foerster’s goal was far deeper and more visionary: to shed light on one of the most urgent challenges of our time, namely the responsible and efficient management of natural resources that the planet offers, promoting truly sustainable lifestyles before it’s too late.

Admiral Bademeister@HeyeBodo Mir fällt da zuerst #TheEndOfTheWorld ein. Einfache Charaktererschaffung mit Immersionstwist, regelleicht, Location-/Szenen-orientiert und Apocalypse in vier verschiedenen Geschmacksrichtungen. Klingt wie eine perfekte Mischung. Fiel am Tisch aber eher mau aus, weil Deutschland nicht die USA sind und sich die Spieler:innen doch deutlich anders (sprich: Risiko-/Gewalt-aversiver) verhalten haben, als das Spiel es erwartet. Steht auf meiner "später nochmal probieren"-Liste. Seit Jahren.

Robert AlanI turned to my wife today and said "Well baby, there is nobody I'd rather face the end of the world with than you." and she replied "Me too." I just want a quiet cabin in the mountains and be left the fuck alone while the world burns.

African Paper | HAUSFRAUEN EXPERIMENT: The End Of The World
Es gibt eine Menge an Alben mit einer apokalyptischen Schlagseite – dramatische, weinerliche, abgeklärte und alles Mögliche und Unmögliche dazwischen. Auf "The End of the World", dem neuen Longplayer der mysteriösen englischen Band Hausfrauen Experiment, endet die Welt, wie wir sie immer gekannt haben, auch und vor allem für die bisherige Aura von zehn ausgewählten Songs aus der Geschichte der populären, respektive alternativen Musik, denn ihnen wurde hier in bester Laibach- und Leningrad-Cowboys-Manier ein komplett anderes musikalisches Gewand verpasst – schrill, verspielt, ernsthaft und höcht eigenwillig. ...
PacmanNowadays the data miners can correlate data from seemingly unrelated sources and draw conclusions. It seems that prophesies of doom reaching a crescendo in the media correlates with increased sales of toilet paper. So when your local supermarket manager reports that sales of toilet paper have become astronomical it's time to go home and put your affairs in order and open that bottle of fine claret you've been saving because the end of the world is nigh.
