A bogus piece of nonsense that pretends to predict your moods based on the time of day or month. Just another type of astrology, and just as useless. Makes a lot of money from stupid people, though.

The police academy where I worked in the 70 s thought enough of the biorythmic chart to use in the classroom. After a traffic cop was killed making a traffic stop in our medium size city (the first on-the-job death), the instructors for whom I worked charted his biorythms to see how well he was functioning on that particular day. On the day he was killed he was low physically, mentally, and emotionally. (The subject shot him through open window as officer was approaching the driver side door.) They subsequently charted all the rookie cops (and the staff) for one month, and urged students to note when they were up or down in the three areas - physical, mental, emotional, and compensate accordingly.

A chart that gives a percentage to show or graphically shows how physical, intellectual, emotional a person is for the month or date required based on his/her date of birth. It also shows how long that person has lived. The information is usually inaccurate and may differ from chart to chart similar to horoscopes.

Biorhythms is a pseudoscientific theory that declares our each and every day lives are critically affected by rhythmic cycles neglected by utilising scientists who study organic rhythms. Biochronometry is the medical study of rhythmicity and organic cycles or "clocks," such as a results of fact the circadian (from the Latin circa and dia; actually, "a pair of day"). Circadian rhythms are based upon such issues as our sensitivity to easy and darkness, it extremely is on the subject rely of our sleep/wakefulness types. Biorhythms isn't based upon the medical study of organic organisms. The cycles of biorhythm theory did no longer originate in medical study, nor have they been supported by utilising something at the same time with a medical study. the theory has been around for over one hundred years and there has yet to be a medical magazine that has printed a single article helping it. there have been some 3 dozen analyze helping biorhythms, yet each and each of them suffers from methodological and statistical blunders (Hines, 1998). An examination of a few 134 biorhythm analyze got here upon that the theory isn't valid (Hines, 1998). it extremely is empirically testable and has been shown to be fake. Terence Hines believes that this fact means that biorhythms "can no longer right be termed a pseudoscientific concept." i could agree considering that biorhythms isn't an concept in any respect, yet a series of ideals. despite the fact that, whilst the advocates of an empirically testable theory refuse to resign the theory interior the face of overwhelming information against it, it form of feels actual seeking to call the theory pseudoscientific. For, in fact, the adherents to this form of theory have declared by utilising their habit that there is not any longer something that could desire to falsify it, yet they proceed to declare the theory is medical.

See this Wikipedia Article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biorhythm

Because each cycle is a specific number of days it is easy to write a program to find where you are in your cycles and see when they all peak. Its just for fun like horoscopes or tarot cards.
