French astronomer Nostradamus prove to be wrong? This question looms large after his prophecy about the World War 3 has not come true so far. According to the 'Wion', Nostradamus predicted something which may be interpreted as the beginning of World War 3. He expected a “combat and naval battle” between China and the US, though he did not take their names.
