Scientist uses statistics to predict when World War 3 will begin!

It has been 70 years since the last world war, and for decades some believed that we’d entered an era of peace, and such bloodshed wouldn’t be repeated.

But is that actually true?

Computer scientist Aaron Clauset of the University of Colorado has used statistics to analyse 95 wars in the period 1823 to 2003 – to see if we really are in a unique, new period of peace.

Futurism reports that what Clauset found is that we’re not in a unique period of peace – in fact, for the current period to be remarkable, it would need to continue for 100-140 years.

Clauset says, ‘These results imply that the current peace may be substantially more fragile than proponents believe,

‘In a purely statistical accounting sense, the long peace has simply balanced the books relative to the great violence.’
