If you want software to go along with this, look up Terence McKenna's
"Timewave Zero" software, which you can run via the "hyperborea" web
page (I lack the URL but it is easy to find). I know both Terence and
the person who wrote the software for Terence....
Just for fun we looked up the "harmonic convergence" (remember that
one?) in Timewave Zero --- which said nothing happened that day....
