my mind is in a perpetual state of being blown.

In 2013 we may still find all this interesting, but it will mean something else to us. I suspect Time Wave Zero is a map not of time or of novelty, but of Terrance McKenna's search for meaning. I admit it is fascinating, even genius. But is it all as he says it is?

@nobodady1 It seems to me that TWZ is graphing the fractal nature of time itself (PBS Nova did a doc. on fractals to learn more) b/c McKenna talks about cycles and events that happened in our history reflecting themselves in the present. Also, fractals are expressed by the mayans through their calender that is made up of gear like objects showing us cycle w/in a cycle etc. (basic def. of fractal) and that may be an explanation of these separate yet similar civ's predictions. have a nice day!

@ronnyboy6o TWZ is a beautiful and compelling view of how time works, and I can respond aesthetically to it. However, TM didn't "discover" the fractal nature of "time itself". He created a fractal on the outset --- with an inherited data set imbued with a historical significance. Then he fudged everything after that, deciding what all the peaks and troughs meant-- by selecting moments in history in a very subjective manner to correspond with this or that. Pseudoscience in a nutshell.

There is no "point of singularity." Terrence's computer was so under-powered back then, he probably never noticed that the wave is fractal, and thus infinite. Although it looks like a point, it will repeat infinitely. This is how our reality works: bounded infinite. We will never reach the edge of space, because we will always be "infinity + 1" away from it. Likewise, we will never reach the end of time. The Mayans talk about their ancestors returning... the wave begins a new cycle in 2012.

i dont agree with the point of sigularity because i am god.

Holy sh*t! No f*ck'n way.
Well . . . what is going to happen at the point of singularity?
