- emptybits 4y agoYeah, I recall that also. Apple itself published a biorhythm program.[1] (A pic and WAV file are there!) Many 8-bit computer demos showed off their hi-res graphics with a classic biorhythm plot of three overlapping sines. We know now though, as we basically did back then, that biorhythm theories have never been validated[2] but circadian rhythms are verifiable and appear to be a real feature of animal sleeping and eating patterns.
