An apocalyptic computer model developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have predicted the end of the world as it is .
The computer model processed by one of the world ’ s largest computers in 1973 , predicted that the civilisation as it is will end by 2040 , reports Express UK.

The prediction came from a programme nicknamed World One , which was developed by a team of MIT researchers and processed by Australia ’ s largest computer .

This prediction showed that the world cannot sustain the current level of population and industrial growth for more than two decades .

The model -based its predictions on trends such as pollution levels , population growth, availability of natural resources and quality of life on earth .

Australian broadcaster ABC republished its original report from the 1970 s , since there is just two years until a major change is expected according to the computer model .

The eerie calculation has been remarkably accurate in certain predictions , such as a stagnated quality of life and diminishing pool of natural resources .
