Can someone please explain to me how to use McKenna's Timewave Zero software. How to read the graphs or anything else useful. This has been vexing me.

blue_velvet said:You make a good point, Noetic. I'm ultimately skeptical of the whole 2012. The functions he uses for the Timewave Zero software involve I Ching patterns and numerology. I have yet to fully understand it, but it's fascinating that a system of numbers used in civilizations past to predict the future could possibly be proven to predict the future, however nonspecific those predictions may be.
What makes me seriously consider this theory is the research in quantum physics and consciousness evolution. Theories involving our universe and a possible metaverse suggest that our universe is not the first. Ervin Laszlo in his book "Science and the Akashic Field" states that there is an information field that pervades all matter, energy, and even space. This "Akashic" field is nonlocal and informs all of existence. Thus, universe after universe are supposedly "aware" of what became of the previous universes. They evolve through each others laws, becoming more and more complex. Now, we exist in a universe in which our laws of physics make organic life possible.
With our human concept of time we can see that this evolution is exponential. It's impossible to comprehend how long it has taken for our universe to arrive. You could go back infinitely. Science has estimated our universe to be around 15 billion years old. If I'm not mistaken, the Earth is about four or five billion years old. I have no idea when life appeared, but I'm assuming it must have been in the past billion or so years. Then, in the hundreds of millions of years for animals such as our hominid ancestors to arrive. About 3 million years from apes to humans and tens of thousands of years to develop the advanced science and technology that we possess at present.
Evolution has shown itself to be exponential. This aligns with McKenna's idea of compression of the timewave and novelty or whatever. Of course it approaches zero at 2012 because it always has. Infinitely. 2012 is where the graph curves too steeply for the event of evolution to be rationally observed. This is why it seems as if the world (as we know it) ends. The y=0 (in the model, anyway) is where we are headed. In typical mathematics we ignore values after a set amount of significant figures, depending on the measuring equipment. They are regarded negligible and the number is rounded accordingly. However, if existence (and in our human minds, time) continue infinitely, each consecutive value is significant. Infinitely.
The funny thing about infinity how hard it is for something so seemingly finite as a human to comprehend. You can't look at infinity. If you stand directly in front of a sheet of paper 100 x 100 miles, you can't possibly see the whole sheet of paper as it is. Just the same, with your human eyes you can't see a single atom as it is.
