After Joseph Smith founded Mormonism in the 1820s, he didn't have much time to get his fledgling religion off the ground. After all, years later in 1835 he predicted that the world was set to end within 56 years. Mormons, however, contend that Smith's sermon in 1835 was misinterpreted and was not in fact an end-times prediction, asserting that Smith had previously stated he didn't know the date of the Second Coming.
If you manage to stick around until 2060, then you'll be just in time to see this final doomsday scenario play out. A handwritten scribbling on a note left behind by this famous face predicted as such. And who is this puffy haired maniac who declared the end of the world in 2060? None other than Sir Isaac Newton.
In 1555, Nostradamus predicted that the world would come to an end 444 years later -- possibly. Given the cryptic nature of his writings, it's difficult to determine what exactly he thought was going to happen in 1999. Point is: It didn't.
If you think the party's over after May 21, you'd be wrong. We've got plenty more doomsdays coming up. 2012 is in fact chocked full of doomsday theories, the most famous of which being the prediction attributed to the Mayans that foretells the end of the world to be Dec. 21, 2012.
How the Mayan apocalypse will play out is much debated among doomsday believers. Everything from a solar flare to a collision with a mysterious planet has been suggested as a possible end-times scenario.
