Mckenna's Iching Fractal Timewave theory- how seriously does it get taken by the science/math community?(cont)

Question

i find this theory fascinating, but i have no reference point as far as whether or not it gets taken seriously, if you're not familiar with it, in the 70s, a botonist named Terrence Mckenna smoked some DMT in the amazonian rainforest, and a hallucinatory voice told him to investigate the I'ching. when he did, he found that if you apply a mandelbrot fractal equation to the iching hexagrams, a timewave that ends on dec 22 2012 (same day as mayan calendar ends) emerges.

math/science people- what do you think?

Answer 1

I would question any theory derived while under the influence of a hallucinogen -- but that's just my petty biases .

There have been many alternate theories as to why the Mayan calendar cycle ends on that particular date. I've always wondered how they were able to precisely date the start of the cycle and whether the gradual slowing of the Earth was taken into account.

It could be interesting but is it really science?
