The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behaviour which makes the original false conception come 'true'. This specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error. For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning.

The way I've come to understand it, and maybe not everyone sees it the same, the Timewave itself represents the connectedness of our consciousness at any one point in time. Dips towards novelty indicate moments where a larger number of people all have the same image or event in their conscious thoughts, while ascension towards habit indicate a separation back towards our individual lives and our individual thoughts. If you think of it like this, it is easier to understand the June 25th drop to be representing MJ's death or the most recent drop as representing the Solar Eclipse.
Does it mean that something is going to happen? No. But to me, if the Timewave endpoint is to represent the ultimate shared experience, a complete connected consciousness, there are only a few events I can think of which could impact the entire planet at once. Aliens? Asteroid? Apocalypse?

But the end of the world is just a theory. Since we still don't really completely understand what information the timewave is really processing (what is included, what isn't), we don't know what the zero point might even represent to begin with.

Thats a good point.
But maybe it goes both ways?
I mean, the idea that one does something to the other and that the other way around doesn't happen is a partial perception.

Maybe we are the ones experiencing time backwards and the big bang was actually when the universe collapsed! Alot of people just don't think to consider things like this. It's so much simpler to think of time how we always have. It's almost more comforting to people that way.

Seacom said in a statement the launch of the cable marked the "dawn of a new era for communications" between Africa and the rest of the world.
