Sir Isaac Newton, end of the world?

Question

He predicted the end of the world around 2060.

As the utmost genius, not to mention the inventor of calculus,

Do you find in truth, scientific or not, in this prediction?

Answer 1

You will have to give some more information about the basis and reasoning for that prediction for us to answer meaninfully.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz  is credited with independently inventing the calculus, although Archimedes came very close to doing so centuries earlier.

How close?  Lim as "this close" -> 0. THAT close.

Answer 2

Where exactly did you get this wacky idea? Sounds like total bu;;**** to me. Maybe you're confusing Newton with Madam Zelda.

Newton invented calculus, explained gravity and derrived the laws of motion. He *did not* predict the end of the world! Ever.

Answer 3

probably end of mankind but NOT the world

Answer 4

<<He predicted the end of the world around 2060.>>

He did no such thing.

<<Do you find in truth, scientific or not, in this prediction?>>

No, it's a fabrication.

Answer 5

Nothing is certain my friend. May be he is correct or may be he is not.

I must say that at the time when Sir Newton lived, technology was not developed much.

So, his predictions for the end of the world may be wrong.

I must also mention here that he was an extra-ordinary genius. May be his prediction is right.

Thus, nothing is certain.
