Timewave Zero: history accelerates toward a final moment of "maximum novelty" predicted for December 21, 2012.

Claim source

McKenna, various [Source not found; under review]

Current evidence · confidence: high

December 21, 2012 passed without incident. The mathematical basis of the Timewave (derived from the I Ching hexagram sequence) has no established connection to historical event density. The hypothesis was not falsifiable in a meaningful sense before the predicted date and was falsified by the date passing.

Citation

Observation; McKenna own writings [Source not found; under review]
