The fact TWZ gets brought up so often as support for 2012 effluvia is very telling.
Have heard Terrence say things like "I'm either Newton or a quack. There is no in between with this. We will see."
But I've never heard him abandon it in an official statement. Got a quote?
"Recently, while in Mexico at the classic Maya site of Palenque, I made the aquaintance of a young British mathematician and psychokinesiologist named Matthew Watkins. Watkins offered the strongest and most interesting critique of the timewave and the assumptions of its construction yet made. Watkins is confident that he has condensed the theory of the timewave into a formula (given below) and is further convinced that there is no rational basis for assuming that the timewave represents the fluctuation of any quantity which can be meaningfully understood as "novelty". Here in Watkins' own words is his formula and his objection:"

^^And you're right...that's not really an official statement that he abandoned it. I think he was very aware that, right or wrong, a lot of people wanted to book him to speak about it...so maybe he wasn't too eager to end that gig.

I was rather irritated that he didn't talk about everything or anything else tho I do like how he developed it. I think its more like art tho, not something with a predictive function.
I was under the impression that he had abandoned it, at least as a formula for mapping what he originally claimed it mapped. Just my impression, tho I've had it since the 90s.
