Unfinished Debates On the 120th anniversary of the birthday of A.L. Chizhevsky

Resumo

The fate of the first publications by A.L. Chizhevsky that considered the influence of space weather on the dynamics of sociohistorical processes and on human collective behavior is discussed briefly. The scientist’s statistical data that indicate a correlation between certain characteristics of social processes and cosmophysical indices are noted to have been confirmed by independent Russian and foreign authors, and the hypothesis of the impact of solar activity on sociohistorical processes and the biosphere has passed the test of the latest biophysical and neurophysiological studies.
