The famous English scientist Sir Isaac Newton predicted the possible end of the world in 2060, relying on biblical prophecies and his own mathematical calculations. Daily Mail writes about this.
Manuscripts opened in the 20th century indicate that he was not only a physicist and mathematician, but also a passionate theologian who actively studied religious texts.
In 1704, Newton wrote an ominous prediction in which he argued that several centuries after his death, the “reboot of the world” would come and he would turn into the “Kingdom of God”. In his manuscript, he wrote:.
" And if the days of short -lived animals are put on the years of the lived kingdoms, then the period of 1260 days, if you count it from the complete conquest of the three kings 800 g. , end 2060 g. He can end later, but I see no reason for it to end earlier "
Newton was convinced that his calculations were based on the Bible, in particular, on the book of Daniel. He used the "
The scientist did not claim that the earth would disappear or would be destroyed by a disaster. Instead, he believed in the second coming of Christ, which, in his opinion, will become the beginning of a new era - the spiritual renewal of mankind.
At the same time, he condemned false prophecies and reminded that the exact moment of the end of the time was known only to God.
" Christ comes as a thief in the night, [and] do not know the times [and] the seasons, [which] God put in his chest, ”he wrote.
If Newton’s prediction is true, humanity is only 36 years old before a possible apocalyptic event. However, there is no unequivocal confirmation of these calculations.
Some consider them the result of Newton's enthusiasm, others - an attempt to clarify the biblical prophecies with the help of mathematics.
Previously, Focus reported that the schoolboy with the metal detector found a medieval artifact with a secret inscription. According to experts, the hilt of the sword of the late XIII century is an extremely rare find. Historians suggest that the artifact is connected with the war for the independence of Scotland.
It also became known that the man found an “untouched treasure” among abandoned places. A blogger named Dav went to an abandoned church and found there small hidden rooms connected by narrow screw stairs. The things found inside struck not only the man himself, but also users of social networks.
