If we demand of the theory a prediction as to the moment of the elusive Big
Bang then a likely candidate would be 22 billion years in the past. A value
that is at variance with the current debate on the issue. This is currently a
lively area of debate and uncertainty concerning this value allows Timewave
Zero to offer a prediction based the unique assumptions of the theory
NO REASON not to open with the big picture as far as the earth is concerned.
This family snapshot is of a span of 7 billion years, a period of time
greater than the age of the earth. The now well documented collision of a Mars
sized object with the primordial earth which caused the accretion of the moon
shows as a very dramatic plunge into novelty. Life's emergence almost
immediately afterwards in geological time is also in good agreement with the
wave. 
The ebb and flow of earth's biota has been driven and occasionally interrupted
by large scale extinction events. The most recent of these occurred at the KT
boundary with the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Here is a view of
the last 65 million years, a period of time that saw the evolution of the
mammals and the eventual emergence of the higher primates. At this scale the
rise of Homo sapiens occupies only a small but highly novel part of the
picture.
The last ten
million years is the time span in which the emergence of humanity and our
recent ancestors occurred.
The last 50,000
years show a dramatic ebb and flow of circumstances as novelty, in the form of
new behaviors and new technologies, makes itself felt. Following the last
melting of the glaciers some 17,000 years ago the descent into novelty appears
almost uninterrupted at this scale.
Here human
history, from the building of the Great Pyramid in 2790 BC until 2012 AD is
contrasted with the length of time during which human beings have been using
fire and perhaps language.
History's Fractal
Mountain shows clearly here, a span of time that includes most of what is
conventionally called human history. The accomplishments of ancient Egypt show
clearly as do the cultural oscillations that followed the fall of the Roman
Empire and the Han Dynasty.
This graph makes
clear that the Golden Age of Greece, occurring in a general ambience of great
novelty nevertheless appears as an even deeper acceleration of the novelty of
cultural tendencies already in play. Buddha, Mencius, Confucius, Lao-Tzu &
Ezekial were also novel personalities that flourished during this same well
defined period.
This is a
dramatic demonstration of the power of the theory to anticipate historical
events. Every major episode of great novelty since the birth of the Prophet
Mohammed appears in its proportional importance here. It is clear that with
striking accuracy the Timewave correctly predicts the ebb and flow of
historical vicissitude over the most recent 1500 years.
The 1960's
represented the decade of the great turning point in Twentieth Century history.
The technologies and social movements of the '60s are clearly shown to be
responsible for the cascade into deeper novelty that characterized the decades
that follow those tumultuous times.
Resonances are
basic to the theory of the timewave. Here is a tantalizing one, perhaps a
suggestion that a future US presidential election will be fortuitously in
direct resonance with a major historical event of major consequences in the
past.
Here are a
series of interesting direct resonances. The explosion of new life forms in
the Cambrian, the crucifixion of Christ and the murder of Anwar Sadat are in
perfect resonance. Can you fill in the blanks? Want
