The prophecy lingers. Twenty-seven years after psychic Jeane Dixon died, one note from her worn notebook ricochets across the internet: “Between 2025 and 2037, a great conflict will begin in Asia and spread across the world.” Dixon claimed she had visions throughout her life—everything from John F. Kennedy’s death to an assassination of a future […]
The warning sits in bold red kanji on a recycled pulp cover: “The real catastrophe will come in July 2025.” When manga artist Ryo Tatsuki self-published The Future I Saw in 1999, only a few thousand copies circulated through Tokyo’s indie scene. Twenty-five years later, its penciled “predictions” began to come true, morphing that battered […]
The first missile streaked over the Line of Control at 03:17 local time. A midnight trucker, filming a meteor, captured its contrail. Minutes later, explosions lit the hills outside Muzaffarabad and a mosque courtyard in Bahawalpur. This violence killed one child and wounded two civilians. Before dawn, India confirmed “precision strikes on terrorist infrastructure.” Pakistan’s […]
The compass has lied before. About 780,000 years ago, north became south and stayed that way for millennia before flipping back. Paleomagnetic rocks prove this, but they can’t predict the next reversal’s impact on a civilization reliant on satellites and superconducting cables. We do know this: Earth’s magnetic field weakens roughly 5% each century, and […]
At a quarry in rural West Virginia, truck convoys haul rebar and blast doors at night. Local officials wave them through, citing “critical infrastructure” exemptions. Two states away, a bored tunnel emerges behind razor wire in the Nevada desert. Its ventilation stacks match the sandy hills. Meanwhile, appropriations subcommittees tuck eight-figure sums into line items […]
The demo starts with a chatbot drafting legal briefs in seconds. Three iterations later, the same code base reverse-engineers exploits, patches itself, and proposes a new monetary policy. In AI labs from San Francisco to Shenzhen, researchers sum up the arc in one word—foom, tech slang for a feedback loop so fast it feels like […]
The International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center received the alert at 03:17 UTC—a wobbling blip captured by three telescopes on opposite continents. It was too slow to be a rock yet too agile to be a derelict payload. Within hours, observers named it “Little ’Mua,” after 2017’s interstellar enigma ʻOumuamua. While its predecessor slashed through […]
At dawn in rural Ohio, meadowlarks once trilled above soy fields. This spring, agronomist Rae Martinez counted silence: no larks, barely a bobolink. Her missing birds reflect a grim headline from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s 2025 State of the Birds report—229 U.S. species approach collapse, and 112 have lost over half their numbers since […]
The sermon begins with a smile and a QR code. Viewers tap; the screen flashes “Seed Your Miracle.” Money flows from many countries into an account controlled by a man who calls himself the Returned One. He preaches via ring light, promises debt erasure, and hints that earthquakes will swallow unbelievers by year’s end. Last […]
