Study by renowned Austrian physicist published: Here's when the end of the

A claim recently made public on the internet has revived debates over the date of "bad luck" and doomsday theories.

According to a study by Austrian physicist Heinz von Foerster , published in 1960 in the journal Science, the end of Earth's population and resource growth could occur on November 13, 2026, precisely on Friday the 13th, a day that in the collective imagination is associated with negative events, the media writes.

Von Foerster developed a mathematical model that relates human population growth to the availability of natural resources.

His ideas resemble the concept of the ecological “Day of Overshoot”: the moment when humanity’s demand for resources exceeds what the Earth can regenerate in a year.

Although population growth has slowed significantly since the 1960s, von Foerster's model remains a powerful warning for sustainable resource management.

He did not intend to predict a Mayan-style apocalypse, but to raise awareness about the efficiency and sustainable use of our resources.

Even if we don't have proof that November 13, 2026 will be an unlucky day, this is a good reason to reflect on how we live and use our planet's resources.

So, if you have important projects or big decisions, it might be worth finishing them a little earlier and paying a little more attention to the sustainability of your life and the planet.
