<div dir="ltr">If you plot the pace of historic change (based on lists of major historic events), the function: <b>S = 1886/(2027 - t)</b> where <b>t</b> is the year, yields a R^2 of 99.91%. Should this trend continue, then near the end of 2026/early 2027, the pace of historic change approaches infinity.
