Impending Collapse Of Civilization Is Mathematical Certainty, Says University Of Connecticut Professor

There is a mathematical formula created by a professor at the University of Connecticut which appears to be predicting a huge social shift – and which may explain why we’re in the shutdown and debt ceiling crisis.

Professor Peter Turchin has spent years developing a model that uses numbers to explain historical cycles – like the fall of the Roman Empire, the Rise of Communism.
