Yesterday, I was channel surfing when I came across a documentary that say the world will come to an end in 2060 as predicted by Issac Newton.
Yes that very same English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian who is considered by many scholars and members of the general public to be one of the most influential people in human history. Who gives us universal gravitation and the three laws of motion in his book - Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
In a manuscript he wrote in 1704 in which he describes his attempts to extract scientific information from the Bible, he estimated that the world would end no earlier than 2060.
So now we get extra 48 year!

plausible. reason? here: NASA To Visit Asteroid Predicted To Hit Earth
basically NASA predicted the RQ36 asteroid to hit earth in 2182, however it isn't confirmed since many other factors have to consider that may affect the trajectory of the asteroid. with the diameter of 580 meter, will have enormous impact "like the biggest nuclear bombs ever built exploding at once, creating a crater maybe 10 km across."
probability of hitting earth? 1:1000
