And furthermore, with enough research, could we actually prove that history WILL repeat itself, and when?

You're asking a very complicated question using very simplified terms. And yes, given enough time and mathmatics we CAN calculate every aspect of the known and unknown universe. The only problem is, is that we don't understand much at all of the known universe. Not even electricity or what causes Electromotive Force. We have theories, but thats all we have. Einstein spent the rest of his life at Princeton trying to produce the "Theory of Everything". P.S. His Nobel didn't come from his paper on "relativity". Every microsecond or better results in somethings repeating themselves and other things not. Hence "Chaos Theory"! But what really can be counted on at this point are things called "Physical Laws of the Universe", which may change at a given moment. It's good mental masturbation. Try reading the Tao of Physics, if you can find a copy.

Don't confused human history with orbital motions of astronimical objects like planets, stars and galaxies.

The reason we see repeating patterns in nature is because the physical world operates based on fundamantal laws that can be described using mathematics. The very fact that we can write an equation to describe the orbit of the Earth around the Sun implies that our universe uses patterns (i.e. a circle or ellipse for orbital path).

Now human history sometimes repeats itself NOT because our collective behavior can be described using some mathematical equation. It's just that we humans only live a short period of time, and what we've learned sometimes are not passed down to the next generation. Even for the last several thousand years, we have been recording our history, we sometimes fail to heed the lessons of the past, because we seem to learn better through making mistakes (yes the same mistakes), and not by reading about other people's mistakes.

While there is some correlation between the position of Earth and conditions on Earth (like the seasons), there is no correlation between the position of Earth or the solar system in the galaxy and the recurrence of events in human history. You assume that there is some magical function that associates a certain place in spacetime with a certain flow of events on Earth; but what could that possibly be? There is absolutely no evidence to support this view. The observation that history tends to repeat itself can best be explained by the observation that the fundamental properties of the human mind and of the Earth itself have not changed radically over our history. If a certain human mindset, certain social conditions, and certain environmental factors lead to a certain flow of events x number of years ago, then an analogous set of conditions could lead to a similar flow of events today. You are correct in saying that planets and solar systems travel in fairly closed loops around the galaxy, but the revolution of the sun in the galaxy takes millions of millions of years, whereas human civilization has only been around for about 10,000. Your proposition sounds very good and exciting, but I fear it is a case of establishing a causality without knowing at all how that causality could possibly work.

all something are background and guy made marks outer areas concerning sciences because of the fact the only creature who detect the outer areas!researching technique as long as their stay issues and genius person is a continous technique and we've a lot of discovery common,we,human beings are benefitted with all those issues that perhaps sometime we are able to return and forth and positioned some existence in those outer areas!After a 2d what occurred became a background yet to repeat itself is available and guy coach that background makes the worldwide pass around!

History repeats itself because humans have not changed since they began recording their history. Our motivations have remained essentially the same: acquiring resources, including land, mates, shelter, etc.

History repeats itself because humans are too stupid to take any actions

History repeats itself because we learn from our mistakes. With we all need to learn to do. Also learn from every one Else's BOO Boos
