Old Prophecy Causes Stir: End of the World on Friday, November 13?
Published
Ahead of the date November 13, 2026, an old forecast is sparking discussion. In 1960, a Viennese physicist predicted an end of the world for that day. November 13, 2026 falls on a Friday, and that is precisely why the prediction is now being mentioned more often.
The prophecy thus dates from the 1960s. Interest in it has risen over the past few weeks, especially in Austria. Many people are sharing the text on social networks, and some are wondering whether there is anything true about the prediction.
Scientifically, there is no evidence for this forecast. The end of the world is a topic that keeps resurfacing, and earlier predictions about specific dates have never been confirmed so far. Experts also explain that the timing of an end of the world cannot be predicted using scientific methods.
On November 13, 2026, the Friday will therefore proceed completely normally, like any other day. Anyone who is still worried can turn to official sources such as scientific institutions.
