apparently some people really have made accurate future predictions
Of these people, some are employed by large corporations
and some have been dead for hundreds of years
whether you believe in the supernatural or not
it's difficult to deny the accuracy of their claims
Ray Kurzweil is the world's most successful futurist
he predicted the fall of the Soviet Union to the year
he predicted a universal search engine, wireless internet, ebooks, face recognition technology, and nanotechnology
his biggest prediction is that by the year 2045,
Human beings will have achieved immortality
if you still don't believe him just know that his predictions have an accuracy of
eighty-six percent
he also thinks that solar power will provide enough energy for all humans by
the year 2028
In 2013, the Pope quit
he resigned on the 28th of February and the news shocked Catholics everywhere
on the 11 for February a woman predicted his resignation in a tweet
The tweet said:
Two weeks later
Pope Benedict quit and Pope Francis was chosen to succeed him
14 years before the titanic sank
Morgan Robertson wrote almost exactly what happens to the ship in one of his books
the novel was about a ship that was the biggest the world had ever seen
It was described as unsinkable, as was the Titanic
but it sank after crashing into an iceberg, as did the Titanic
Robertson's ship could reach the same speed and had almost the exact same measurements
Maybe the real ship was inspired by the novel; in which case they should have seen the disaster coming
nikola tesla was the inventor of the AC electric supply system
He's mostly remembered for his patent battles with other inventors
like Thomas Edison and george westinghouse
but if history was just, he'd be remembered for his great mind
he basically predicted the smartphone. In 1926 he said:
that's not the full quote - he goes into a lot more detail
there is a woman called Susan saxman and she's known as the reluctant psychic
apparently she doesn't want to be a psychic but can't ignore her special powers
said special powers allow her to predict future events as well as contact the dead
she predicted one of her clients would become seriously ill soon and told her
to visit a doctor
the client wouldn't listen and died soon after
she told another client never to drive or else they will die in a car crash
one month later that client died in a car crash
it is, of course, impossible for any of these to have been coincidences
this man, whose name I can't pronounce, was a French political thinker
in 1840, he predicted that America would become the world's most powerful country and
also predicted for cold war. In his own words:
he went on to say that the destiny of half
the world would rely on these two nations
At the time, people called him crazy
At the dawn of the 20th century, a man called John Elfreth Watkins wrote for a women's magazine
In it, he describes what the world could be like in a hundred years time
He predicted color photographs, a rising average height, slowing population growth,
the television, tanks, and many more things. Some of his predictions haven't
yet come true and i doubt they ever will
he said the letters C X and Q will be taken out of the alphabet
Nostradamus is famous across the world for his accurate predictions of major events
not all of his predictions came true but he was accurate with the great fire of London,
the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and Hitler, the Second World War,
atomic weapons, and 911
it is possible that he didn't really predict any of these things
but that his material is interpreted loosely enough to fit anything
the famous fiction writer H.G. Wells predicted a host of modern-day inventions
these include the heat-ray, the atom bomb, genetic engineering,
automatic doors, tanks, and mobile phones
all these things have either been invented or are currently being developed
despite possibly being the greatest genius ever
Isaac Newton was also mental
he believed in alchemy and occultism and magic
based on his interpretation of the Bible, Newton believed the world would end in the Year 2060
coming from Isaac Newton a lot of people believe this prediction
he said that the world will end 1260 years after the Holy Roman Empire was founded
because that's when Jesus will return
so, like I said
Isaac Newton was mental
