THE end of the world could soon be revealed by scientists who are using mathematical predictions to calculate a doomsday date, a new documentary has claimed.
With almost one million cases of coronavirus across the world, many have been asking whether this is what the end of the world looks like. But, researchers across the world are using predictive analytics to bring some hard facts to the table over the possible future mankind faces. These mathematical equations encompass a variety of statistical techniques, from data mining, predictive modelling and machine learning, that analyse current and historical facts to make predictions about future or otherwise unknown events.
American physicist and futurist Michio Kaku revealed during History’s new Unexplained series ‘Predicting the End of the World’ how businesses already utilise this data.
He said: “Predictive analytics is a fancy way of looking at the data and finding out why things happen.
“It’s very important for banks, corporations and computer companies to spend hundreds of millions sifting through tonnes of data, trying to find instances of causality.
“If I raise the price of a product, does my profit margin go down? Will I go bankrupt?
The question is more like why don’t we get more information about the future?
“In other words, corporations constantly try to predict the future, that’s the name of the game.
“You predict it wrong, you zag when you should zig, you go bankrupt.”
Professor of cognitive psychology, Anne Cleary, detailed how our minds use a similar technique to make decisions.
She added: “Predictive analytics operate very similarly to how our brains work.
“Our minds come equipped to make predictions about the future based on our past experiences.
“They operate very similarly, in fact, machine learning algorithms – the type that carries out predictive analytics – are often called neural network models because they are designed to mimic how neurons work in our brains.”
The series went on to detail how the prediction models may be able to help map-out future events, by analysing what has happened in the past, possibly even the Earth’s final day.
Professor of neuroscience at the Northwestern University, Julia Mossbridge, said the predictions could be valuable for understanding what lies ahead.
She added: “I think the people who work in this way, what they’re doing is tapping into some source of information.

“I don’t think the question is why are we able to get information about the future? I think the question is more like why don’t we get more information about the future?”
It comes after a Bible passage went viral online, leading many to claim Armageddon is around the corner.
The passage is featured in the Book of Chronicles, a Hebrew prose of text featured in the Old Testament.
It contains a story from Adam, some teachings from Jesus and a narrative of the history of ancient Judah and Israel until the proclamation of King Cyrus the Great. But, according to claims online, it also prophesied current events leading to the end of the world.

It reads: “Whenever I hold back the rain or send locusts to eat up the crops or send an epidemic on my people, if they pray to me and repent and turn away from the evil they have been doing, then I will hear them in heaven, forgive their sins, and make their land prosperous again.
“I will watch over this temple and be ready to hear all the prayers that are offered here.”
According to claims, this extract is referring to the coronavirus, the current locust plague and the Australian wildfires which are still being contained in some areas.
