We are constantly hearing that the Mayan calendar ends in the year 2012. But did the Mayans actually think the world would end, or that something huge would happen in 2012?
Novelty theory attempts to calculate the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. It is an idea conceived of and discussed at length by Terence McKenna from the early 1970s until his death in the year 2000. Novelty theory involves ontology, morphogenesis, and eschatology. Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, density of complexification, and dynamic change as opposed to static habituation. According to McKenna, when “novelty” is graphed over time, a fractal waveform known as timewave zero or simply the timewave results. The graph shows at what times, but never at what locations, novelty is increasing or decreasing. According to the timewave graph, great periods of novelty occurred about 4 billion years ago when Earth was formed, 65 million years ago when dinosaurs were extinct and mammals expanded, about 10000 years ago after the end of the ice age, around late 18th century when social and scientific revolutions progressed, during the sixties, around the time of 9/11, and with coming novelty periods in November 2008, October 2010, with the novelty progressing towards the infinity on 21st December 2012. –Wikipedia Sources: The Fractal Time Software: www.hermetic.ch/frt/frt.htm (note: there is a free version around on the net/p2p) Novelty theory at Wikipedia: www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty_theory Film footage from www.photosynthesis.com/Terence_Mckenna.html www.video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8701042459684666916 More …

So by now I’m absolutely sure that basically everybody has heard the latest prognostication by frequent Rapture predictor Harold Camping. That is to say that he has, once again, adjusted his calculations to predict the date of Jesus’ return to Earth based on biblical prophecy and the notion that he can actually find data that [...]
I was quite distressed last year about the BP oil spill. I honestly had a hard time bringing myself to write about it at the time. But after months, they managed to get the temporary cap in place, and suddenly the story was dead. Nobody wanted to talk about the underwater oil plume, or the [...]

This has given light to many end of the world theories an predictions, but mostly from profiteers who want to take advantage of public fears. This doesn’t mean that we can not take a practical look [...]
