According to legend, Baba Vanga was an ordinary young woman born in 1911 who was blinded in a windstorm and emerged with psychic powers .
Bulgaria-born Prophetess Baba Vanga, who died in 1996 aged 85, was also known as “Nostradamus from the Balkans”.
She used her abilities as a consultant to Bulgaria's royal family and later to the ruling Communist elite of Eastern Europe.
Her incredible abilities have gained attention in recent decades for their supposed accuracy as she appeared to predict massive disasters including the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, the September 11 terrorist attacks and she even predicted that the 44th president would be an African American man as we know him to be former president Barack Obama.
Baba is believed to have an 85 per cent success rate when it comes to her predictions, so she’s long been revered in Russia as a kind of supernatural saint.
For the year 2018, the following predictions are revealed:

Since ancient times mythology has told of legendary ways to time travel. Hindu tales of King Kakudmi, who travelled to heaven to visit Brahma, describe how he found himself in the future on returning to Earth. A Japanese legend tells of a fisherman who is carried to the underwater palace of the dragon god, upon the back of a turtle. What he didn't know at the time is that one day within the dragon palace is equal to one century outside.
But we can't just look to ancient legends for ways to time travel. Modern science has something to say. One option is to jump through a wormhole, or Einstein Rosen bridges, as they are technically known. This would involve entering the wormhole at light speed but slowing down before reaching the other end.
Where mythology and science fail, urban legends tell us how to travel through time. Hakan Nordkvist is a Swedish man who claims to have not only been to the future, but to have recorded a video of him meeting his older self. But my favourite tale is of a mysterious French hotel that transports those who spend the night inside it back in time, to early 20th century France.
Numerous scientists and theologians claim to know the exact date on which the world may come to an end.
If you wish to know the exact dates, and what is going to occur, I invite you to stay in this video Titled: the seven most accurate dates in which possibly the world will end.
Number 7.
March 16, 2880.
The planet earth is located in an area of permanent threats.
One of these threats, is already on its way. It is the asteroid named as 1950 AD. This asteroid is considered to have the highest possibility of colliding with the earth.
With a diameter of 1, 3 kilometers and moving at a speed of 15 kilometers per second, this space object is the most threatening.
Studies of NASA scientists claim that the impact zone of this asteroid would be the Atlantic Ocean; this could cause an explosion equivalent to 44800 megatons of TNT. This would be enough to destroy the Earth.
This event would occur on March 16, 2880. Even though there are still many years before this happening takes place, it is creating continuous alarm for the NASA.
Number 6.
Year 2100
Each day around 367 thousand people are born in the world.
Human population grows increasingly while the earth's resources are gradually depleted.
According to a study published in the magazine "Sustainability", such resources would come to an end within 83 years which would mean the final of human life.
Number 5.
Year 2060.
Many persons have dared to foresee when the world will end.
However, one of the greatest physicists in history, Isaac Newton, is the most outstanding who came to predict that the world's decline will occur in 2060.
This revelation is written in a letter found some years ago.
Number 4.
February 5th 2040.
The universe has plenty of asteroids that could destroy the world.
Threats are real and new hazards against the earth are constantly being discovered.
The turn is now for an asteroid called "2011 ag5". It could be the next one in line to end with this planet.
Number 3.
April 13, 2036.
We should not care about viruses or the food scarcity because what we really should worry about is for the asteroids. Asteroids have the power to eliminate civilizations completely.
They already did it with dinosaurs, and now mankind could be the next.
One out of the 800 hazardous objects for the earth, is especially worrisome
The asteroid Apophis is an object that has 400 meters in diameter and moves dangerously to the earth.
Some claim that the impact would happen in the year 2036, and they recommend being alert.
Number 2.
Year 2030.
The extreme environmental degradation in which we find ourselves today
The last great natural catastrophes which our planet earth has faced would be the cause that by year 2030 only 20% of the human population will survive.
According to the celebrated scientist James Lovelock, water, electricity and air will only be accessible to the richest.
Number 1.
Year 2021.
Forgetting about asteroids and environmental catastrophes we have a new theory about the end of the world.
Based on an ancient prophecy, a number of apocalyptic events such as floods, earthquakes, plagues and deadly epidemics will result in the end of the world, in the year 2021
Experts indicate that some biblical texts reveal that the world will witness Armageddon, an event known among Christians as the second coming of Jesus.
Dr. Beshore, a theology expert assures that his predictions are based on hidden messages contained in the bible. Also he warns that humanity must be ready because the worst will come in 2021.
Number 0.
February 1st 2019
A new asteroid is coming but different to the others, this one is really huge. The asteroid nt7, and which is within the earth orbit, is the closest menace we have today.
This asteroid with a diameter of 4 kilometers could wipe out an entire continent and cause severe climatic changes if it were to impact on the Earth.
According to astronomers, this asteroid should pass close to Earth, on February 1, 2019.
While it is true that many asteroids circulate near the Earth only a few have a great chance of impacting our planet. However, we must keep the eyes open because bad luck can play us a dirty trick.
“It’s more dynamic and alive than Mars,” says UCF planetary scientist Philip Metzger. “The only planet that has more complex geology is the Earth.” The reason Pluto lost its planet status is not valid, according to new research from the University of Central Florida in Orlando.
In 2006, the International Astronomical Union, a global group of astronomy experts, established a definition of a planet that required it to “clear” its orbit, or in other words, be the largest gravitational force in its orbit.
Since Neptune’s gravity influences its neighboring planet Pluto, and Pluto shares its orbit with frozen gases and objects in the Kuiper belt, that meant Pluto was out of planet status. However, in a new study published online Wednesday in the journal Icarus, UCF planetary scientist Philip Metzger, who is with the university’s Florida Space Institute, reported that this standard for classifying planets is not supported in the research literature.
Metzger, who is lead author on the study, reviewed scientific literature from the past 200 years and found only one publication — from 1802 — that used the clearing-orbit requirement to classify planets, and it was based on since-disproven reasoning.
What did NASA's New Horizons discover around Pluto?
He said moons such as Saturn’s Titan and Jupiter’s Europa have been routinely called planets by planetary scientists since the time of Galileo.
“The IAU definition would say that the fundamental object of planetary science, the planet, is supposed to be a defined on the basis of a concept that nobody uses in their research,” Metzger said. “And it would leave out the second-most complex, interesting planet in our solar system.” “We now have a list of well over 100 recent examples of planetary scientists using the word planet in a way that violates the IAU definition, but they are doing it because it’s functionally useful,” he said. “It’s a sloppy definition,” Metzger said of the IAU’s definition. “They didn’t say what they meant by clearing their orbit. If you take that literally, then there are no planets, because no planet clears its orbit.”
The planetary scientist said that the literature review showed that the real division between planets and other celestial bodies, such as asteroids, occurred in the early 1950s when Gerard Kuiper published a paper that made the distinction based on how they were formed.
However, even this reason is no longer considered a factor that determines if a celestial body is a planet, Metzger said.
Study co-author Kirby Runyon, with Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, said the IAU’s definition was erroneous since the literature review showed that clearing orbit is not a standard that is used for distinguishing asteroids from planets, as the IAU claimed when crafting the 2006 definition of planets.
“We showed that this is a false historical claim,” Runyon said. “It is therefore fallacious to apply the same reasoning to Pluto,” he said. Metzger said that the definition of a planet should be based on its intrinsic properties, rather than ones that can change, such as the dynamics of a planet’s orbit. “Dynamics are not constant, they are constantly changing,” Metzger said. “So, they are not the fundamental description of a body, they are just the occupation of a body at a current era.”
Instead, Metzger recommends classifying a planet based on if it is large enough that its gravity allows it to become spherical in shape.
“And that’s not just an arbitrary definition, Metzger said. “It turns out this is an important milestone in the evolution of a planetary body, because apparently when it happens, it initiates active geology in the body.”
Pluto, for instance, has an underground ocean, a multilayer atmosphere, organic compounds, evidence of ancient lakes and multiple moons, he said.

Webb contains novel technologies that have never previously been flown in space
The US space agency boasts that it will literally "look back in time to see the very first galaxies that formed in the early Universe".
As if those claims were not bold enough, scientists have now surmised that the eventual successor to the world famous and beloved Hubble Space Telescope may - thanks to its 6.5m golden mirror and exquisitely sensitive cameras - have a another extraordinary talent.
The JWST, as it is called, may be able to look for signs of alien life - detecting whether atmospheres of planets orbiting nearby stars are being modified by that life.
Despite this, the project to build it narrowly survived cancellation by the US Government in 2011. That was in no small part down to its (perhaps appropriately) astronomical cost - an estimated $10bn rather than its originally planned $1bn.
Back on Earth, however, astronomers - including the University of Washington team who proposed "life-detection" observations using the telescope - are unerringly thrilled at the prospect of its launch.
How do you detect life on distant planets?
University of Washington astronomer Joshua Krissansen-Totton and his team have looked into whether the telescope could detect signs of what they call "biosignatures" in the atmospheres of planets that are orbiting a nearby star.
"We could do these life-detection observations in the next few years," says Mr Krissansen-Totton.
The basis for this search may lie in JWST being so sensitive to light that it could pick up so-called "atmospheric chemical disequilibrium".
Earth's atmosphere would change if all life was suddenly removed
It may not be a catchy term, but it is an idea with a long heritage, promoted by celebrated scientists James Lovelock and Carl Sagan.
The reasoning is that if all life on Earth disappeared tomorrow, the many gases which make up our atmosphere would undergo natural chemical reactions, and the atmosphere would slowly revert to a different chemical mixture.
It is continually held away from this state by organisms on our planet expelling waste gases as they live.
Because of this, searching for signs of oxygen (or its chemical cousin ozone) has long been thought to be a good way of finding life. But this does rest on the assumption that extraterrestrial life runs by the same biological rules as our own.
It might not. Therefore, assessing atmospheric chemical disequilibrium - looking for other gases and figuring out how far out of kilter from "normal' a planet's atmosphere sits - could be key to finding alien life of any kind.
The chemical make-up of the atmosphere of a planet orbiting another star can be measured in light by carefully measuring the minuscule dip in starlight as the planet passes between us and the star during the planet's orbit. The gases in the planet's atmosphere cause the light reduction to vary with the wavelength - or colour - of light, revealing information about how much of each chemical is present.
Where is the best place to look?
Mr Krissansen-Totton simulated the data that would be obtained if JWST were to look at planets orbiting a small Jupiter-sized star called TRAPPIST-1, about 39.6 light-years away from our Sun. This star caused a sensation in 2017 when it was discovered to host seven Earth-sized planets, several of which could possess liquid water, and hence might be a good bet for hosting life.
The Washington researcher predicts that James Webb could measure the amounts of methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of the fourth planet, TRAPPIST-1e, from the dips in light at wavelengths affected by these gases.
It would be a tough measurement of an unimaginably tiny signal, but Cornell University astronomer Prof Jonathan Lunine, who was not involved in this study, is excited by the prediction, saying "they make the case that this can really be done with JWST".
All seven planets are thought to have Earth-like characteristics
Once the measurement is made, though, Mr Krissansen-Totton explains, "you can then ask the question: do we know of any non-biological processes" that could produce that effect?"
Planetary atmospheres, including our own, he points out, can also be modified by non-biological processes, such as volcanic activity. So, if the atmosphere of TRAPPIST-1e was found to be awry, researchers would then need to rule out any non-biological effects before declaring the existence of extraterrestrial life.
Mr Krissansen-Totton says that "that kind of confirmation is going to require multiple observations, to really make a totally solid case".
"But if we detect something that we don't have an alternative explanation for, I think that would be an incredibly exciting discovery."
Who else will be doing this?
For now, the telescope's golden mirror remains securely locked in a lab in California, and astronomers must continue to wait for these possibilities to be explored.
JWST will be joining a host of new facilities that will subject planets around other stars to some serious scrutiny over the next few decades.
Huge ground-based telescopes in Hawaii and Chile are also planned, and the European Space Agency's UK-led Ariel mission, designed to probe the atmospheres of planets around other stars, will blast off in the late 2020s.
Prof Lunine says: "I think that we're in a remarkable time for understanding our Universe and exploring the cosmos, and James Webb is going to take the next step in that.
"It is going to be truly worth it."
Prof Gillian Wright, principal scientist on the telescope's UK-led Mid-InfraRed instrument, agrees. "We've never had access to something this big in space before," she says.
"To say a telescope will open up new windows on the Universe sounds kind-of cliched, but with James Webb it's really true."
JWST is led by Nasa but is a joint venture with the European and Canadian space agencies. Dr Jonathan Nichols is a planetary scientist from the University of Leicester and a 2018 British Science Association media fellow
