Waves? Mea­sur­ing His­tory? What’s this all about?

saturnwave1 The wave to the left shows Saturn’s orbit com­pared to human growth milestones.

The wave to the right demon­strates the same wave used for a span of time between the align­ment of two plan­ets, the two here show­ing Sat­urn and Pluto for the span between 1947 and 1981. 1948satplu1981

The beauty of the waves is that they appear the same across time for any planet pair­ing, mak­ing them a great stan­dard for mea­sur­ing history.

So using Waves as the title of a the blog about Mea­sur­ing His­tory makes sense to me.
