Apocalypse
3 documented theories filed under this subject.
- The 2012 Mayan Prophecy Pre-PanicA pre-2012 panic theory, already solidifying by 2010, that the end of the Maya Long Count cycle would coincide with a planetary catastrophe such as pole reversal, the arrival of Nibiru, extreme solar events, or civilizational collapse. The theory mixed modern apocalyptic expectations with simplified readings of Mesoamerican calendars.
- The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Apocalypse (2008)A panic theory claiming that the startup of the Large Hadron Collider in 2008 would create a catastrophic black hole, strange matter event, vacuum collapse, or even a portal to Hell. The theory emerged from public fascination with particle physics, the language of miniature black holes, and legal and media battles over whether the collider could destroy Earth.
- The "Final" Simulation ExitA nihilistic mid-2020s theory claiming that reality is a simulation approaching its computational ceiling and that the end of the decade will bring instability, degradation, or outright crash conditions. The theory combines older simulation-hypothesis ideas with newer worries about AI compute, energy demand, and the visible strain of planetary-scale information systems.
