All The Failed Predictions Of When The World Will End

All The Failed Predictions Of When The World Will End

It’s almost become not crazy to predict when the world will end because so many crazy people do it all the freaking time. But look, we’re all still here. Nothing has ended. The world is still here. To keep track of all the crazies, but information design agency Accurat created a graphic to show just who has been predicting the end of the world.

The infographic (which can be seen in full over at PopSci) includes all your favourite world ending conspirators like Harold Camping, Charles Manson, Nostradamus, Isaac Newton and many, many more. The best thing about the infographic is that it shows so many people picking the year 2000 as the expiration date of the world. The second best thing is seeing multiple predictions on when the world will end (Camping has said 1994, 1995, and two different dates in 2011, so basically any day now). [PopSci]
