RC Theory

The 'Theory of Relational Cycles of Solar Activity' or 'Relational Cycle Theory' or simply the ‘RC Theory’ was developed during the spring of 2007. It was the culmination of independent research by John L. Casey, President of the Space and Science Research Corporation. Following his independent research, he performed an extensive review of other published scientific literature to corroborate his findings and evaluate the accuracy of his work. As a result, it was found that most if not all of the elements of the Theory were also established by other researchers, providing significant validation for the Theory and its importance as a tool for prediction of future climate changes.

              (1) There exists a family of solar activity cycles that has a profound and direct influence
                    on the Earth’s climate.
              (2) These cycles are called ‘relational cycles’ since their effects can be experienced or
                    ‘related’ to during one or two human lifetimes.
              (3) There is a “Centennial Cycle” of 90-100 years duration, which manifests itself with
                    solar activity minimums and associated low temperatures with episodes lasting a few
                    years to 1-2 decades.
              (4) There is a “Bi-Centennial Cycle” of about 206 years that is the most powerful of the
                   relational cycles and has significant effects on the climate of the Earth lasting
                    many decades resulting in the most extreme variations in solar activity and in the Earth’s
                    temperatures.
              (5) These cycles are correlated strongly to all past major temperature lows.
              (6) There is remarkable regularity and hence the predictability of these oscillations, such that
                   the theory may be a powerful tool in forecasting of major temperature and climatic cycles
                   on Earth, many decades in advance.
              (7) There may be other relational cycles of shorter duration accounting for lesser solar and
                    climatic events which may be revealed in subsequent research.
