Newton Predicts Apocalypse, 2060

okay, we all now newton, and his apple that didn’t fall far from the tree.. also calculated gravity, redefined Boyle’s Law on the speed of sound in air. All things we still use and still are correct. So far so good. But lately at Jerusalem Newton’s manuscripts about a possible apocalypse have been revealed.

Now if this man was right about many things, will this be his first mistake? or is world actually coming to an end ?

here is a little intro text from CNN Science page.

Newton, who died 280 years ago, is known for laying much of the groundwork for modern physics, astronomy, math and optics. But in a new Jerusalem exhibit, he appears as a scholar of deep faith who also found time to write on Jewish law — even penning a few phrases in careful Hebrew letters — and combing the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel for clues about the world’s end.
