Sunspot Cycle and War & Violence

A.L. Tchijevsky, a Russian professor of Astron

omy and Biological Physics, compiled the hist
ories of 72 countries from 500 BC to 1922 AD
to provide a strong database to articulate his
correlations. After rating the most significant
events, Tchijevsky found that fully 80% of the
most significant human events, mostly relate
d to war and violence, occurred during the 5
years or so of maximum sunspot activity.

Sunspot Cycle and Economic Depressio

n
There was a rather strong connection betw
een major recession and the peaks of the s
unspot cycles. There was one major except
ion, the last Great Depression, the bottom o
f which (1933) can be seen in the trough bet
ween sunspot peaks. The collapse of the st
ock market, however, paralleled right on th
e peak of the solar cycle in late 1929.

Is there a correlation between sunspot cycle and Dow Jones I

ndustrial?

Not really, the only direct connection that a

ppears is as a breaking signal. During the
sunspot peak, the speculative Bull Run bub
bles in stock break and an economic reces
sion begins fairly soon thereafter. This ofte
n leaves the stock prices headed down even
while sunspots are still rising. This destroys
any statistical averages which can be used f
or prediction.

11 Year Sunspot Cycle & Stock Market

During the 20th Century, the peak of stock
market will be usually 3 to 6 months ahea
d of the peak of sunspot cycle. There is o
nly one wrong prediction in the past whic
h was in 1957.

Sunspot and Soybean Price

If the sunspot cycle does affect the weath
er and in turn how well soybean grows th
en we would expect the variations to be g
o beyond optimum condition in two direc
tions (be it too hot and too cold or too we
t and too dry) and therefore in one sunsp
ot cycle there would be two cycles in soyb
ean growth.
