In a time where crossing ecosystems was considered a sin, two men dare to be different.

FRIDAY NOV 13 2026: SCIENCE PREDICTED DOOMSDAY FOR TODAY, AND US AIRSPACE JUST WENT SILENTView quoted post on X
In 1960 the journal Science printed a paper titled "Doomsday: Friday, 13 November, A.D. 2026."
That's today. And this afternoon the radios that connect pilots to air traffic control started going dark across America.
THE VON FOERSTER DOOMSDAY EQUATION (SCIENCE, 1960)
Heinz von Foerster, Patricia Mora, Lawrence Amiot. Three researchers at the University of Illinois fit one curve to about 2,000 years of population data.
It fit almost perfectly. Run it forward and human population hits infinity on Friday, November 13, 2026.
Today is also von Foerster's 115th birthday.
Mathematicians wrote in calling it ridiculous. Then at the halfway mark, in 1994, humanity was running ahead of schedule.
FAA NATIONWIDE GROUND STOP: WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR
> 3:10 pm ET: Chicago O'Hare gets ground stopped for "equipment / outage" and comms issues. Midway follows 3 minutes later
> ~3:15 pm: controllers start losing the radio frequencies they use to talk to pilots
> 3:54 pm: the FAA halts every departure in the US "for reasons of safety". Planes already in the air keep landing, inbound international flights handled case by case
> the advisory runs through 11 pm ET. Officially: "until further notice"
> Delta dispatch warned of "multiple frequency outages across the country". An FAA source called it "absolutely unheard of"
> hundreds of flights disrupted
> only the third nationwide ground stop ever: 9/11, January 2023, today
Doomsday Twitter has been waiting 66 years for this one.
WHY IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
> the ground stop: a rolling radio outage across Air Route Traffic Control Centers. The FAA still hasn't named the root cause. Bad for your flight, not the apocalypse
> some accounts already say the stop is lifted. No official confirmation yet, so wait for the FAA
> the equation: world population growth peaked right after the paper came out, then started to fall
> the global birth rate today is a bit under half of what it was in 1960
> we're at roughly 8 billion people, not infinity
> even the authors never meant literal infinity. The date was half a joke about the shape of the curve
A formula fit 2,000 years of data and broke the year it was published. Today a few dead radio frequencies stopped every departure in the US.
So what's scarier: an equation that called the end of the world, or how fast one glitch can shut down a whole country?
