A group of scientists have used a computer to try and establish exactly when society will collapse, and the results are rather daunting.

With artificial intelligence (AI) becoming more advanced every day, scientists are able to use technology to understand more about the future of humans and planet Earth.

Unfortunately, for one group of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), this includes trying to calculate when society will cease to exist.

Back in 1972, the team at MIT used computer modelling, which evaluated several data patterns relating to the likes of population, natural resources and energy use.

After carrying out their research, the study was published by the Club of Rome, with the upcoming ‘limits to growth’ highlighted as what would cause the eventual collapse of human society.

When did the study predict society would end?

So when did it predict the end of society as we know it?

Through this research, the team learned that the fall of society would hit near the midpoint of the 21st century. And yes, in case you’d forgotten, that’s the century we’re currently in the middle of.

In fact, there’s apparently less than […]
