Harmonics Theory Part 17: Origin of the Harmonics Theory

This blog series from FSC Science Director Ray Tomes will share the fundamentals of physics in layman's terms, showing how present theory must inevitably lead to all waves losing energy and forming harmonically related waves. The end result is a very specific detailed structure that matches the observed universe and explains many previously mysterious observations. This series was previously published.

The Harmonics Theory came about through the study of cycles. The first four common cycles that I found were almost exact fractions of 35.6 years, being 1/4, 1/5, 1/6 and 1/8 of that figure. The following figure shows the discovered cycles periods, and the arrows are at exact fractions of 35.6 years. These cycles existed in the New Zealand economy, but later I was to find that they also existed throughout the world and even beyond. Other cycles that I found were also fractions of 35.6 years.

When I discovered a whole set of cycles in 44 years of weekly corn prices I realised that they had frequencies that were in exactly the same ratios as the white notes on the piano plus two black notes (Eb and Bb). Then I noticed that the 4:5:6:8 frequency of the original cycles was a major chord in music. At the time this was altogether too weird - was God playing major chords in the NZ economy and scales in corn prices? I didn't mention it to people because it seemed that I would get laughed at. Then in the mid to late 1980s I found out that there was a place called the Foundation for the Study of Cycles and paid them a visit in the USA. What I found was that quite a few things that I though I had discovered were already known to Dewey and other researchers. Partly I was upset because my "discoveries" were not original, but partly the confirmations assured me that what I had found was very real and very pervasive, because Dewey studies different time series from different countries and even over different time intervals.

Ed Dewey, who formed the Foundation for the Study of Cycles made a life long study of cycles in everything that he could. After producing, collecting and collating several thousand reports of cycles he reached a number of conclusions. They were:

Many of these conclusions reached by Dewey have also been reached by other researchers not aware of each other's work. I was one, and earlier there had been at least three or four others who found the musical scales or the ratios of two and three, which amounts to the same thing. Here in Dewey's table was 35.5 years, very close to my 35.6 years, and this single table had three of the four cycles that I had found. Dewey had also found the other one, but it did not fit into this table.

I had, like Dewey and others, only gradually come to the understanding that these cycles arrive from outside the earth. Not only that, but quite a few of them fitted with planetary alignments, and many serious scientists or analysts do not want to go there because that is astrology and only quacks do astrology. However it is a fact that these relationships exist. There are several reasons why the planetary alignments match common cycle periods, and others why the Sun is affected by planetary alignments. Saying that does not make me an astrologer. Like many scientists I regard horoscopes as a cruel trick played on gullible people.
