Sir Isaac Newton, renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to science and mathematics, also delved into less conventional areas of study, including alchemy and theology. One of his lesser-known pursuits was his attempt to predict the end of the world, which he believed would occur in 2060.
Newton's prediction was based on his interpretation of biblical prophecies, particularly the Book of Daniel. He calculated that the Catholic Church's rise to power in 800 AD marked the beginning of a 1,260-year period of corruption, leading to the end of the world in 2060.
