The Middle of the 21st Century: A Riddle of Singularity

Abstract

A series of independent calculations by scientists from different countries and different fields of specialization showed that the speed of biosphere and society development has been increasing over 4,5 billion years according to a simple logarithmic law. Extrapolation of the exponential curve into the future allows to conclude that the noted tendency approaches the point of mathematical singularity around the middle of the 21st century, which means that the global anthroposphere will undergo a grandiose phase transition.
