Jan 8, 202658mS2E15Unexplained History

Deep in the Amazon jungle, Terence McKenna claimed to find a map of time itself. In Episode 23 of Unexplained History, we take a trip to the edge of reality to explore Time Wave Zero—the controversial theory that history is not random, but a fractal pattern spiraling toward a singular point of infinite complexity.

In this episode

  • The Origin: How a hallucinogenic experiment in La Chorrera sparked a theory of everything.
  • The Map: Understanding "Novelty Theory" and how it eerily aligned with the fall of empires and the rise of the internet.
  • The 2012 Connection: Why the timeline pointed to December 2012 (just like the Mayans) and what actually happened when the clock ran out.
  • The Legacy: Genius prophecy or pattern-seeking madness? We examine the scientific critiques and the lasting impact on counterculture.
