[edit] "Prophesy"

I haven't read this work of Weber, but whoever claims that China had no sense of "prophesy" obviously hasn't studied much of China in the least. Divination is KEY in Chinese mythology (Yijing), and by the Song dynasty, cosmological discoveries were made on the pretense of trying to divine the Heavens.
