According to statisticians, humanity may die already this year.
The mathematician Fergus Simpson of the University of Barcelona has prepared a report, which states that the annual risk of a global catastrophe now exceeds 0.2%, writes the Daily Mail.
This disturbing prediction is based on the theory by which statisticians predict the number of future members of the human race.
This theory, also called the Doomsday argument, was proposed in 1983 by astrophysicist Brandon Carter. According to his hypothesis, there is a possibility that humanity is currently in the middle of the time span that is allotted for its existence. It follows from this that half of the possible number of people has already been born. Now there are still half left to be born.
Taking this statement into account, you can calculate how much time remains until the end of human existence.
As stated in the scientific report, people should not bury their heads in the sand while at least eight sovereign states have nuclear weapons.
Earlier this year, a video appeared claiming that after humans are wiped off the face of the Earth, in a few hours or within a few months the planet will be exposed to all kinds of disasters. For example, two to three days after the disappearance of people, most underground systems will be flooded with water, since pumping stations will stop working.
As stated in the report of Fergus Simpson, in general, people are not able to escape from inevitability, but humanity has the strength to increase the duration of its existence.
