The world will end in 2060, according to Newton

His famously analytical mind worked out the laws of gravity and unravelled the motion of the planets.

He believed the Apocalypse would come in 2060 – exactly 1260 years after the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire, according to a recently published letter.
