Eldorado Posted September 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2018 So it seems Sir Isaac Newton not only discovery gravity – he also predicted the end of the world. The renowned British scientist based his study on extensive reading of biblical texts and said the world would “reset” in 2060 when the Earth would once again become the “Kingdom of God”. “It may end later, but I see no reason for it ending soon,” he wrote under the alias “Jehovah Sanctus Unus”. The prediction is discussed in Florian Freitstetter’s “Isaac Newton: The A-hole Who Reinvented the Universe”.

Orphalesion Posted September 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) So....will this be the new "2012"? I mean at least unlike 2012, it at least is a End of the World prediction, but well it will be quite annoying if it becomes big. 25 minutes ago, acute said: 2060? I'll be in my mid-eighties by then! Ah don't worry if it's the beginning of the "Kingdom of God" then it should include the part where we all get resurrected and put into young, sexy bodies or something.

Can you imagine the current pace that things are unwinding, going on for another 40 years? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard from religious folks, everyone being in new sexy bodies would be incredible torture. As you wouldn't even be allowed to look in god's "paradise" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
