I had a hard time believing in the Timewave zero thing until I decide to look at the program and checked the theory according to something larger than just dates on Earth dealing with mass deaths, changing history etc.
I figured if it were real then it wouldn't be confined to just Earth and would apply to something more cosmic.
So I went online, checked all the different algorithms and tried to think of something cosmic and I came up with the sunspot cycle. Interestingly enough sunspots have been kept track of since the mid 1700's and the lack of sunspots a few years ago gave me the perfect subject to check out and the cycle which does indeed match the Timewave Zero algorithms.
If you truly want to prove to yourself it's not all crapola, look at the different "spotless" cycles the sun has gone through since the 1700s and there's only been a few "spotless" cycles. I didn't keep my research as I just want to prove to myself and friends(who were amazed), but if DO research and compare, it's astonishing how well it matches.
The historical context of humanity is so SMALL and mercuric that while I put some faith in the strength of the theory and how it affects humanity, I don't give as much credence to it's control over humanity's "instances". Think larger, check it yourself and THEN decide.

Timewave theory is an algorithm derived from the King Wen sequence of the I Ching by McKenna while he was tripping on peyote. When graphed it creates a fractal. He interpreted it as what he calls the "change in Novelty." He believes all things are affected by this.

The plot is not fractal. It is a simple polyline.

Yes, there are plenty of people who repeat the mistake that TWZ is fractal. It sounds like a cool property to mention. The plot is not fractal. The plot is a polyline. The fractal dimension is 1, i.e. it is equivalent to a straight line. One of the telling issues with claiming that TWZ is fractal is that no one has published its fractal dimension. You'd think they would, but they don't because saying it is like a simple line would be embarrassing.
I think it is important to note that the properties claimed of TWZ are independent of it being or not being fractal. So regardless of whether you want to believe it is fractal that is just window dressing and not of interest in evaluating TWZ.edit on 27-7-2012 by stereologist because: (no reason given)

The link I gave you returns to the author's website. He thinks its fractal and never mentions polyline.

Just think. Everything in the universe is cyclic, why shouldn't history processes be the same?

The quickest way to stop going in circles is to start walking in a straight line. I get what your saying about history repeating itself in energy rather than mirror events. I just wonder why you don't believe that humanity may start walking in a straight line, so to speak. Are we not in control of our Selves? Does the abilitiy to change not lie with ME, rather than just: Get ready, it's happening...again. We can change!!! We don't HAVE to go thru these situations again and again and again ad infinitum
