Those who know of Terrence McKenna, he made a computer program before he died that charted the events in human history into a line graph based on some ancient chinese "black magic" that was really just some complex equation. Anywho, he did this in the early 1990s and it could only predict everything up until 2012 and he predicted that it would be a great change, not an apocalypse.

For all the psychonauts out there, check out his philosophies and writings. It's interesting stuff.
