Hello All!

I am new to this discussion so I think that all of you had some time to contemplate what an active science psychohistory might look like. Perhaps the best way to look at this to-be-science is to look at the previous development of another science...Physics.. Physics began as a series of observations by the greeks and other cultures. It was determined that an object when thrown up must come down. However there was no measureable way to observe the actual pheonomenon until measurements of distance, time and speed were developed and somewhat standardized. Only then could the science and equations be developed to develop the idea of physics. Now consider though. They knew nothing about the atoms, quarks, strong or weak forces that character Modern Physics we know today. Newton certainly knew nothing about Einsteins Theory of Relativity or quantum mechanics. But for everything that wasn't known about physics they were still able to come up with the Basic Equations of Physics that are still taught today.
Now...what does this have to do with psychohistory? Well I think we have the same problem as the greeks did.. We don't know the measurements to use.... Or do we?????? I think we need to begin looking at what data we do have..and start with that....
