The eonic effect will be dismissed (or ignored) and might be considered speculation but the reality is that it is basically empirical and shows why a science of history (and evolution) is close to impossible.
Consider a differential equation of Newtonian physics, one that describes the motion of a mass under laws of motion: the solution (as long as the masses aren't too complicated: a system of three suddenly fails to compute in closed form!) has all the data needed to describe the entity's motion in an equation: the outcome of the equation's solution. In the case of the solar system's planets, the solution(s) take the form of an ellipse. The ellipse's formula thus contains all the information about the dynamical entity in question.

Now consider history: we are talking about a supercomplex system, one whose beginning we can't define, nor its ending. To create a science Read more of this post
