The Aztec Prophecy of the Sixth Sun: Trump, Quantum Mechanics, and the End of an Age

Science Fiction Author D. Colin Palmer here. This is not politics as usual—it is prophecy, myth, and physics colliding in the dark space between ages. The Aztec imagination told us we live under Nahui Ollin, the Fifth Sun, destined to collapse in motion and quake. Every cycle must extinguish its fires, wait in silence, then relight from a single spark—the New Fire that binds the years.

What does this mean at the conclusion of Donald Trump’s presidency? The answer lies in both Aztec prophecy and quantum mechanics. A presidency ends, but a Sun shudders. Old fires go out on purpose so a new flame can be seen by all before it spreads into homes, labs, courts, and councils.

Through symmetry breaking, criticality, decoherence, Landauer’s cost, and strange attractors, physics tells the same story as the Mexica myth: eras end abruptly, futures collapse into one lived branch, and the heat of renewal is the thermodynamic receipt of starting again. The “new ones” are not elites—they are the torch-bearers of the Sixth Sun: builders, innovators, mothers, judges, musicians, engineers, everyday people who refuse decay and choose to carry the spark without burning the city down.

This is the quake and the fire. This is the prophecy retold for our time.
