From his vast knowledge, the prodigy Einstein once foresaw the future of humankind.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) remains one of the greatest physicists of all time. He laid the foundation for both the theory of narrow and broad relativity, ushering in a new era of modern science and technology. Yet, many may not know that Einstein was not only a famous physicist but also a mystical prophet. Einstein once made 7 predictions about the world's future from the previous century. To date, 4 predictions have already come true, such as the existence of gravitational waves, predictions about the universe's constants, gravitational lenses, and the Bose-Einstein condensate phenomenon.
Among the renowned scholar's predictions, only 3 remain unrealized, and they all pose dire threats to the survival of humanity:
The prophecy of time bending
The prediction of space-time distortion can be understood simply as the prediction of 'cosmic wormholes'. Einstein believed that there could be 'points' connected by the curvature of space-time in the vast universe. Traveling through these wormholes could create leaps in time and space similar to those seen in science fiction movies.
Once we truly discover what is known as the 'black hole', time travel will no longer be just a human dream.
Prediction of the doomsday in 2060
A previously undiscovered note was found by a researcher at Einstein's former residence. Its contents foretell the world's destruction in the year 2060. With the outbreak of pandemics and wars, specifically nuclear warfare, the world will be destroyed, and humanity will ultimately vanish from the Earth.
Einstein's theories laid the theoretical groundwork for the development of nuclear energy and the production of atomic bombs. However, after the invention of the atomic bomb, Einstein regretted it, considering it one of the greatest mistakes of his life.
Whether the prophecy of doomsday in 2060 will come true remains unknown, but since humanity possesses atomic bombs, destroying the world has become easy for humans as pressing a button could truly shatter the Earth.
Prophecy about the bees
Rumors suggest Einstein once stated: 'If bees disappear, human civilization will vanish completely within 4 years.' This prediction could be explained by the crucial role bees play in nature and their assistance in pollinating many plant species. Out of the 1,330 crop species humans utilize, over 1,000 require bee pollination. Once bees are gone, the consequences are truly unimaginable.
Certainly, some argue that even if bees disappear, we can still resort to artificial pollination. However, some scientists argue that our perception of this prediction may be narrow and Einstein's message might be deeper. In this prediction, the disappearance of bees could simply be a warning example. The destruction of ecosystems will trigger the butterfly effect, ultimately harming humanity and leading to extinction.
Furthermore, regarding the prediction about bees, some claim this was not actually Einstein's prediction. Dr. Roni Grosz from Hebrew University of Jerusalem declared there is no evidence showing Einstein ever spoke or wrote such words.
