Edward R. Dewey
Edward R Dewey devoted his life to the study of cycles, however his claim that everything that had been studied had been found to have cycles present appears to be overstated. Dewey recorded results of many studies on cyclicity of events and measured cycles on economic, geological, biological, and other types of trends. Among his studies the best known are studies on the cycles of war.

Cycles are series of states or conditions that repeat themselves, usually after a regular or nearly regular period. ... War cycles refers to the theory that wars happen in cycles. ...
Dewey is the founder of The Foundation for the Study of Cycles. In the course of his research, Dewey observed that seemingly unrelated events had often similar cyclicity (cycle synchrony), and that many cycles had periods that were related by powers or products of 2 and 3, as shown in the table below. Underlined figures are commonly occurring cycles; all periods are in years. The Foundation for the Study of Cycles was an organisation formed in the USA by Ed Dewey in 1942 to study cycles in every discipline. ... Ed Dewey gave the name cycle synchrony to his discovery that certain commonly reported cycle periods from different disciplines also often had the same phase. ...
Forty years after Tchijevsky presented his studies, EdwardR. Dewey examined his work in the light of new data and found that there is a slight time lag between peaks of human excitability and sunspots.
Dewey (and other scientists after him) eventually determined that the cause of this time lag resides in the planetary magnetospheric forces acting on the Sun and Earth.
Lieber and Carolyn R. Sherin (Univ. Miami) analyzed all of the murders committed over the 15-year period from 1956-1970, and discovered that peaks in the murder rate were associated with both the new and full moon by a small statistical significance.
