Scientific controversy about rhythm

Supporters of biological rhythm theory believe that this is a new interdisciplinary subject. Although there are many "unexplained doubts", it can solve the problem after all-according to the biological rhythm, it can improve the work efficiency and even improve the production efficiency of a company.

Unfortunately, biorhythmology has not been proved by experiments and its theory has not been accurately expressed scientifically, so it has been questioned. Opponents believe that this is an authentic numerology (using various numbers such as birth date and name). To infer people's character and destiny, and predict the future) and some basic mathematics, and it is an established pseudoscience. Terence Hayne, a professor of psychology at Pace University in the United States, once published a paper in the authoritative academic journal Psychological Report, pointing out the shortcomings of the biological rhythm theory:

1. Randomness of rhythm curve;

2.3 randomness of 23, 28 and 33 days in the cycle;

3. Based on anecdotes rather than experiments;

4. Inappropriate quantification and generalization of human behavior;

5. Lack of accurate expression of theory;

6. There is no repetition (repetition is the embodiment of regularity, and the principle of repetition can be said to be one of the most important principles in empirical science).

In addition to questioning the three rhythms, people also question whether these rhythms have time correlation. For example, if women's menstruation is not regulated by hormones, it will be unstable, which cannot be predicted several months in advance. However, the theory of biological rhythm does not mention any related factors, but it is doubtful that this law remains unchanged.
