The eerily precise modelling was developed by professors at MIT university to predict how modern civilisation would behave by 2060 - and the findings have been as startling as they've been accurate. A 1973 computer programme made uncanny predictions about the state of the planetCredit: ABC Modelling by professors at MIT uni found civilisation as we know it may cease to exist by 2050Credit: ABC Known as 'World One', the programme claimed living standards would drop and pollution levels sky rocket from 2020Credit: ABC Dubbed "World One", the programme, commission by the Club of Rome, models how well the world can sustain its then growth trajectory. What it predicted was that by 2040 there would be a total global collapse if population and industries continued to grow unabated. The computer programme analysed troves of data on pollution levels, birth rates, and natural resource stocks to give an overall quality of life assessment. The model made unnervingly accurate predictions about falling living standards from the 1980s onwards and the dwindling of natural resources like coal, gas, and other vital minerals. An eerie news clip from the time shows analysts examining data of people's behaviour in twenty year intervals up to 2060. Each line on the massive chart represents a condition of the planet. "Let's have a look at the Q curve, which is represented by the quality of life, for example the amount of space people have, the amount of money they have to spend, the amount of food they have to eat," a presenter points out. "It increases rapidly up to 1940 but from 1940 on, the quality of life diminishes. "When we come up to the year 2020, it's really come right back. "At around 2020, the condition of the planet becomes highly critical. If we do nothing about it, the quality of life goes down to zero. "Pollution becomes so serio){kind=link}
