Cycles theories have emerged in a number of scientific disciplines. In biology, Wilhelm fliess theorized that two cycles governed living cells. In men the male cycle of 23 days was dominant; in women the dominant female cycle was 28 days. These cycles affected every\u00ac thing from birth to death, physical and mental health, career prospects, sex, life, and so on. In his major work The Rhythm of Fife: Foundations of an Exact Biology (1923), Fliess advances a formula to explain how these two cycles combine to impose various compound cycles: (23x + 28y), in which x and y can be positive or negative integers. So the familiar 28-day menstrual cycle has x = 0 and y = 1. If x is 4 and y is 11 the sum is 365 days, another familiar cycle. What had escaped his attention is that x and y can be selected to give every number from 1 to as high as you have the patience to calculate. A theory which contains everything explains nothing.<\/p>\n
In the late 20th century, Biorhythms were held to influence or control human lives. A third cycle was added to the original pair: the intellectual cycle of 33 days. The male cycle governs physical strength and endurance and what are held to be masculine attitudes; the female cycle governs the feminine virtues of nurturing, sensitivity, and mental alertness; and the intellectual cycle governs mental capabilities. People are advised to adjust their actions to these cycles.<\/p>\n
