Alexandre Deulofeu i Torres (La Armentera-1903, Figueres-1977) was a versatile man, a wise man: professor, pharmacist, chemist, politician, philosopher and historian. He wrote about The mathematics of history . With this name he proposed the theory that civilizations follow biological processes with repeated cycles. This Figuerense pharmacist entertained himself in his spare time looking for parallels between the different world empires. He already spoke of the unification of Germany, of the fall of the Soviet empire, of the evolution of the American empire and the disappearance of the Spanish empire (such and as we know it). According to Catalonia, it was the mother and the origin of European culture.
We are moving towards the constitution of a large European federation headed by Germany. Deulofeu predicted more than 40 years ago.
These forecasts were made in full Franco regime on Spain, which caused that his theories were not studied further, for political reasons and ended in oblivion. We are sure that at some other time or another country they would have made Deulofeu a recognized figure of the stature of historians such as Oswald Spengler and Arnold J. Toynbee, who also raised the idea of the cycles of the history, but without the mathematical precision that this wise glimpsed.
Alexandre Deulofeu was a very unmediated character, a personal friend of Salvador Dal and some have already baptized him as the Nostradamus catal n. His work is compiled in volumes that bear the name of `` Peace in the World by the Mathematics of History. ''
The analysis of history based on the theoretical theory tells us that all empires or manifestations of certain powers, have four phases that are: birth, growth, maturity and decline.
The importance of its discovery lies in the constant of 1700 years, which he deduced, which marks the cycles that shape history. Their predictions are not based on esoteric speculations but on the follow-up of a natural law with a scientific character. Since everything has life, why should empires not have an expiration date? The difficulty lies in knowing at what exact moment an empire began. Hundreds or thousands of years ago there were no exact records of dates to be able to verify when this or that empire was born, and it is at this point that certain gaps are found that can lead to error in the c calculations or predictions.
The constant discovered by Deulofeu making parallels with biological analyzes, can be related to other very old constants already used by the Egyptians and other ancient peoples: the logarithmic spiral or the number of gold, present in all manifestations of life.
He said that civilizations and empires go through cycles equivalent to the natural cycles of living beings. Each civilization can reach at least three cycles of 1, 700 years each. Included within civilizations, empires have an average duration of 550 years. The statement of this mathematical law was already known by some in ancient times. When an empire wants to maintain hegemony for more than 550 years, it must change the location of its capital, so the calculation would restart and there would be another 550 years of margin. When we analyze in detail the case of Rome and Constantinople or the case of China with its northern capital and its southern capital, we can see clear intentions to prolong the power of an empire.
But the importance of its discovery does not lie in speculation. His theory brings us closer to the idea of the futility of wars to maintain any empire. All wars can be avoided if we raise awareness among all. The death or disintegration of an empire involves the creation or growth of another ... The important thing is what he has already stated: Peace in the World for the Mathematics of History ”, that is, to seek peace among all and stop fighting for empires or nationalisms that will sooner or later disappear. He said that by knowing the nature of the cycles, conflicts can be avoided, struggles would be unnecessary, we could achieve peaceful processes instead of violent ones. He also affirmed that humanity may be able, to know them, to alter their own cycles, and that it must tend to be organized in the form of a Universal Confederation of free peoples.
