Will aliens contact humans in 2025? Baba Vanga & Living Nostradamus predictions explained
Who Are Baba Vanga and the Living Nostradamus?
Baba Vanga, often referred to as the "Balkan Nostradamus", was a blind mystic from Bulgaria who became famous for her chillingly accurate predictions. She foresaw major global events such as the 9/11 attacks, the death of Princess Diana, and even natural disasters.
On the other hand, Athos Salomé, popularly known as the Living Nostradamus, is a modern-day prophet whose predictions include the COVID-19 pandemic and the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. His insights into the future have left many people astonished, as some of his prophecies have come true with alarming accuracy.
Both Predict Contact with Aliens in 2025
What happens when two of the world's most famous clairvoyants predict the same event? It certainly grabs attention. And that's exactly what's happened now. Baba Vanga and the Living Nostradamus both predict that humans will make contact with aliens in 2025.
According to their predictions, this major event could occur during a large-scale sporting tournament, though they haven't specified which one. With many major events like Wimbledon, the Super Bowl, and the NBA playoffs already behind us, all eyes are now on the upcoming global competitions later in 2025.
Why Do They Think Aliens Will Contact Humans?
Athos Salomé, the Living Nostradamus, believes that advanced space exploration and powerful technology could be the key to unlocking the truth about extraterrestrial life. He specifically mentioned the James Webb Space Telescope, suggesting that it could be instrumental in proving that aliens do exist.
He stated:
'Thanks to the James Webb Telescope, humanity might finally get the answer to the existence of alien life, while governments like the US may declassify UFO files.'
This implies that, alongside technological breakthroughs, secret information held by governments could be made public, confirming long-held suspicions of UFOs and aliens.
What Could Happen If Humans and Aliens Meet?
If aliens make contact with humans, there are a few possibilities — and not all of them are frightening. Some experts believe that it could lead to:
A peaceful exchange of knowledge and technology
Cultural interactions that help both species understand one another
More concerning possibilities like biological warfare or an invasion
However, at this stage, these are purely speculations. Nothing is confirmed, but these predictions have sparked widespread curiosity.
Past Predictions That Came True
Both Baba Vanga and the Living Nostradamus have made headlines in the past for predictions that turned out to be shockingly accurate.
Baba Vanga predicted the 9/11 attacks, the Chernobyl disaster, and the death of Princess Diana.
Athos Salomé foresaw the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
These successful prophecies make their latest claims about aliens making contact with humans even more intriguing.
Should We Believe These Predictions?
While many people dismiss such forecasts as nonsense, others believe there's some truth hidden in them. With space agencies around the world increasing their search for alien life, and UFO sightings making global headlines, the idea of humans meeting aliens no longer feels like pure science fiction.
Whether this prediction comes true remains to be seen. As 2025 unfolds, the world will be watching and waiting to see if this is the year that humans and aliens finally meet.

Shekhar Kapur interview: On ‘Masoom 2', censorship and AI
'Is home a memory, an emotion, or just four walls?' The quandary returned to trouble Shekhar Kapur during the COVID pandemic when the world was shutting down. The celebrated filmmaker, who describes himself as a nomad and is fondly addressed as Ibn Batuta by his close friend Shabana Azmi, found refuge in the Jones Estate of Bhimtal, which he discovered during the recce for Masoom in the early 1980s. At the serene retreat, his 'constant search for identity' began to take shape as a spiritual sequel over the next three months. A product of Partition, Kapur says the concept of home has haunted him forever. 'My parents were refugees from Lahore. When they came to Delhi, my mother wanted her own space. She would forever say 'mainu ghar chahida hai', and my doctor father would remind her that they had just lost their home.' Kapur remembers when construction started in Maharani Bagh; his mother, who had seen two massive earthquakes in her lifetime, would tell the young architect to make it earthquake-proof. 'We were perhaps the first in Delhi to have a house built on stilts. Now that my parents are gone, my sister lives there, and I wander from one city to another. The kind of calls I get, it seems the home has been reduced to a piece of real estate. I would joke that an earthquake will not shake the house, but the tremors in real estate prices just might. All this spurred me to write. After all, we are a country of migrants.' The pangs of Partition, Kapur clarifies, didn't make him bitter but rendered him forever restless. At 24, Kapur says he decided that he would not have a career. 'If the idea of a film comes in front of me, I go to the sets; if a musical excites my imagination, I take the stage. Right now, I am as excited about working on a Korean musical on the life of Beethoven with K-pop stars as working with Naseeruddin Shah and Manoj Bajpayee on Masoom-2.' Bestowed with Padma Bhushan this year, Kapur was in Delhi to hold meetings for the International Film Festival of India in his capacity as festival director. As someone who has witnessed his uncle, Dev Anand, take on Indira Gandhi during the Emergency, Kapur is in a position to reflect on the intermingling of cinema and politics. 'I was around when he forged the National Party. He was a brave man, but I have had my own philosophy. I am not a political animal, but I do feel that if you are living in a democracy, you have to engage with the democratically elected government.' Kapur says there are issues, but democracy is an open door. 'Let's keep talking. I tell my friends who complain about censorship that I had to argue for a year to get Bandit Queen released during the Congress rule. I was also showing an Indian reality. For a long time, the U.S. has been seen as a free society, but today I guess I can express myself better in India than in the U.S.' Kapur finds a kind of intellectual tribalism in the upper echelons of society. 'No one section of society can claim that it understands or represents India completely. Freedom of expression can't exist in a vacuum. It needs to be accompanied by freedom from hunger, freedom to educate, and freedom from poverty.' Creative expression is facing a big challenge from artificial intelligence. Kapur says AI is a democratic technology, but it can't make you a better storyteller. 'If we are predictable in our creativity, AI will catch up. For instance, if we want every Game of Thrones season to have similar character graphs and ambience, AI can do that job. People at the top will lose their jobs as AI will cause the pyramid to collapse. However, the highest form of creativity emerges when we put ourselves in a state of chaos. Life and love exist because there is uncertainty. We can explore the uncertainty between does she love me, does she not in myriad ways by putting ourselves on the line, a machine can't.' Discussing his struggles with content and form, Kapur notes that among his three illustrious maternal uncles, he was emotionally closest to Chetan Anand, known for directing classics like Neecha Nagar, the only Indian film to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes, whose basic theme echoes in Kapur's jinxed project, Paani. 'Like him, content comes before style for me. You might say Mr India was an exception, but there again, the style was derived from a strong emotion. I saw the space through the 11-year-old in me. And I followed the same process in Elizabeth.' He firmly faced the detractors who equated his restlessness with laziness. Kapur says he seeks 'to climb a new mountain every time,' and sometimes, when he discovers that he is charting the same path, he is open to cutting short the adventure, as he did with projects like Joshilay and Barsaat. 'I believe art is an intuitive idea, and you can't interfere with your intuition. If you don't have your own intuition, what do you have?' he wonders. What about Kapur's perception of love? A nomad at 79 sounds a bit crazy. 'To me, settling down is a very middle-class idea,' he chuckles. 'For me, love is about dissolving yourself into something. I have felt the strongest bond with my daughter Kaveri. But is the search for home liberating or provoking more and more quests? Elizabeth poses the same question towards he end. Did she become a prisoner of herself, or was she liberated from herself? I am not sure, but I like this idea of not being sure. It drives me to try....'

Your brain might have aged faster during the pandemic, even without Covid-19
The Covid-19 pandemic may have accelerated the ageing of the human brain, even in people who were never infected, according to a new study. Mounting stress, prolonged isolation, and widespread disruption during the pandemic appear to have left lasting biological effects on brain structure. Researchers have now found measurable signs of this accelerated ageing across the general population, with older adults, men, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds being most affected. The study, led by researchers at the University of Nottingham and published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications, titled Accelerated brain ageing during the Covid-19 pandemic, analysed brain scans of 996 healthy adults sourced from UK Biobank, which holds the de-identified biological and health data of over half a million people. The scans taken before and after the pandemic showed that brains aged an average of 5.5 months faster during lockdown. The findings showed that while men aged about six months faster, women aged by around 4.5 months. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds experienced up to seven months of additional brain ageing. According to the researchers, this is the first major study to isolate pandemic stress from actual Covid infection and still find evidence of measurable brain ageing. How did researchers measure brain ageing? Using AI models trained on more than 15,000 brain scans, scientists calculated each participant's 'brain age gap'—the difference between how old their brain appeared versus their actual age. A larger gap indicated faster ageing. They compared people scanned twice before the pandemic with those scanned once before and once after. The latter group, who lived through lockdowns, social isolation, and economic stress, showed significantly faster brain ageing. Can stress actually age your brain? Emerging research suggests it can. Chronic stress, lack of social stimulation, disrupted routines, and reduced cognitive engagement can all affect brain regions responsible for memory and executive function. The researchers emphasised that brain health is shaped not only by disease but also by environmental factors and everyday experiences. Who was most affected by accelerated brain ageing? According to the study, the most affected groups were: Men (33 per cent more acceleration than women) Older adults Individuals from low-income or disadvantaged backgrounds The findings suggest that socioeconomic vulnerability, limited healthcare access, and lower social support systems heightened the impact of pandemic-related stress. How did Covid infection affect the brain differently? While brain ageing was seen across the general population, cognitive decline was reported only in those who had been infected with Covid-19. Infected individuals performed worse on mental flexibility and processing speed tests, especially the Trail Making Test (TMT), which is often used to assess early dementia symptoms. Thus, while pandemic stress altered brain structure, infection was linked to functional cognitive decline. Are these brain changes permanent? It is unclear. Since the study only measured two time points per person, researchers cannot yet confirm whether brain ageing will stabilise or reverse over time. However, they remain cautiously optimistic. 'Our study highlights the pandemic's significant impact on brain health, beyond direct infection effects, and underscores the need to address broader social and health inequalities,' the authors noted. How can you protect your brain now? Even if the pandemic aged your brain slightly, there are proven ways to support brain health: Maintain regular social connections Engage in physical activity Follow a brain-healthy diet Prioritise mental well-being and sleep Keep your mind active with learning and problem-solving While ageing is inevitable, experts say the rate of cognitive decline can still be influenced. According to experts, by avoiding certain everyday habits, like prolonged sitting, skipping meals, excessive screen time, chronic stress, and social isolation, we may be able to slow down cognitive ageing and protect our mental well-being.
