Why is 2020 a strange year? What disasters did the Martian boy predict in 2020?

I thought 2020 would be a good year, but I never expected so many things to happen during the Spring Festival, such as the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the death of basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, and the locust plague. Why is 2020 so weird? Now many netizens are discussing the Martian boy or Hawking's prediction of 2020. In fact, everyone does not need to be so sensitive, everything will be fine.

Why is 2020 a weird year?

There are natural disasters every year. This year it is my turn and I feel that there are more of them. There is research on this psychological phenomenon in psychology. If a person is pregnant, she will find that there are more pregnant women on the street. In fact, the number has always been the same. It is just related to one's own sensitivity.

You can check the more authoritative wj, United Nations interface data. There is no year without natural disasters and man-made disasters on the earth. Earthquakes and hurricanes have never stopped.

Peace is only partial

What disasters did the Martian boy predict in 2020?

Back then, the appearance of the "Martian Boy" shocked the entire scientific community. His name was Boriska, and he was from Russia. He claimed that he had lived on Mars before and had predicted that the Earth would face a major disaster in 2020. Has the prediction of this "Martian Boy" come true?

The prediction of the "Mars boy" has attracted great attention from many scientists. For example, Professor Yifu Roca of the Faculty of Science at Baili University believes that humans should pay attention to the prediction of the Martian boy, and many theologians also support this view. However, some scientists believe that this prediction is just a child's nonsense, without scientific basis and no reference value.

How many disasters happened in 2020?

1. Australian wildfires

Some time ago, a nationwide wildfire broke out in Australia, leaving a large number of animals homeless. Although the rainy weather extinguished most of the fires, a large amount of vegetation was destroyed by the fire, and the surviving wild animals faced the risk of food shortage after the fire.

2. Locust plague spreads around the world

The locusts that started in East Africa have now crossed the Red Sea, entered Asia and Eastern Europe, and are now spreading eastward to India and Pakistan.

The spread of locusts has not yet been able to calculate the losses and possible impacts. If the locusts cannot be controlled, it will inevitably affect food production in Asia and may even cause a certain food crisis in Asia.

3. African swine fever

African swine fever is no stranger to everyone. Pork has become a luxury item due to the outbreak. As pork prices rise, other meats have also risen, which has had a certain impact on everyone's lives.

4. Avian Flu

This year's avian influenza has broken out all over the world. Currently, the Middle East is a serious area of ​​avian influenza virus outbreak, and a large number of poultry there have been culled.

5. New influenza outbreak in the United States

Since October last year, a new flu virus has begun to spread in the United States. So far, 22 million Americans have been infected and at least 12,000 people have died.

6. The novel coronavirus outbreak in China

The new coronavirus broke out in China at the end of last year. According to official data (as of February 15 morning), 66,577 people have been confirmed and 1,524 have died.

Today, there are cases of novel coronavirus infection in many countries around the world.

7. Mysterious virus outbreak in Nigeria

So far, 104 people have been infected and 15 have died in Nigeria.

2020 can be said to be a year that caught everyone off guard. Although many people had made bad predictions about 2020 in 2019, the degree of badness of 2020 was far worse than everyone expected. It was like I was already sore from sleeping at home, but I had to continue sleeping.

The various disasters that occurred after the arrival of 2020 surprised me, but also did not surprise me. What surprised me was that these disasters broke out too concentratedly. If I did not feel surprised, I would have anticipated the impact of the virus on humans, and I had three concerns a long time ago.

First, as the global climate warms, many ancient viruses trapped in the permafrost will be released, which will inevitably have an impact on humans.

Second, economic globalization will inevitably lead to the globalization of viruses. With the close exchanges among countries around the world, many viruses that were originally only confined to a region will spread around the world with the flow of people, which will cause the deaths of many people who have no antibodies.

Third, the continuous development of human beings will inevitably break the balance of various natural circles. Once the balance of the natural circle is broken, some viruses will take the opportunity to escape from the natural circle and infect humans.

The trend of world development is unstoppable. Human beings are now focusing on how to deal with possible food crises in the future and threats to life from various new viruses.

It is recommended to increase research and treatment on respiratory infections in the future, because any virus that can infect the respiratory tract is fatal to all human beings and is difficult to guard against.

Why Hawking said 2020 will be the end of the world

Hawking described it this way: "The Earth's population is expanding rapidly, and the natural resources that sustain us are being consumed much faster than we can replace them with renewable resources. Even if humans manage to solve all the problems caused by their own development, the end of the world is still inevitable because the sun will expand and swallow the Earth in a few billion years."

Hawking did not predict that the world would end in 2032, let alone 2020, so how did this "2032" come about?

In fact, this comes from another statement made by Hawking. He pointed out that the sun will enter a dormant period in the next 15 to 20 years, and it is estimated that around 2032, the earth will enter a small ice age.

The Little Ice Age was just a period of relatively low average temperature on Earth, and it did not cause large areas of the Earth to be frozen. The Little Ice Age in history did have a certain impact on human activities, but it was far from causing human extinction.
