Isaac Newton predicts the End of the World.

Daily Mail: Letter from Sir Isaac Newton in 1704 predicts when the world will end.

Sir Isaac Newton, a renowned scientist known for formulating the laws of motion and gravity, predicted the world as we know it would end in 2060.

Newton scrawled this ominous warning on a letter slip above a series of mathematical calculations more than 300 years ago.

He believed in biblical visions of the Apocalypse — specifically the Battle of Armageddon — and based his prediction on his Protestant interpretation of the Bible and events that followed biblical history.

Newton even questioned his own prediction that the current era would end in 2060.

'It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner,' he wrote.

In another prediction referencing the date 2060, Newton stated: 'This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, [and] by doing so bring the sacred prophecies into discredit as often as their predictions fail.[']
