If you're wondering why humans are drawn to prophecies, predictions, and information about end times - it's because intuitively they know that reality, as we know, it is going to end soon - most likely in their lifetime.

Scientists Predicted Humanity Would End on (Friday the 13th) November 13, 2026. Should We Be Worried?   SciTech Daily - October 12, 2026

The simple answer to the question the science article poses is NO but beware of Super El Nino along with the midterm election results. Trump will totally 'lose it' if the Republicans lose the House and the Senate and who knows what he will be capable of doing at that point.

In 1960, Science, one of the world's leading science journals, published an article with an unambiguous title: Doomsday: Friday, 13 November, A.D. 2026. It predicted that on this future date - just over a month from today - the human population would approach infinity and effectively annihilate itself. The outlandishness of the claim landed the article in widespread public attention. More surprisingly - because its underlying research and math seemed sound - it also received careful and sustained scientific attention.
