“When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganized and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”
This now famous quote by Mathematician Ron Eglash is a stark reminder of how much African Cosmology continues to be marginalised and misunderstood and the missed opportunities, as a result, for drawing great value from its principles and applications for society and individuals.
This lecture extends this point beyond the understanding of Fractals in Geometry and Computing to other subject disciplines such as Astrophysics, Energy Conservation and Genetics, unveiling why many scholars today prefer to use the term ‘African Sacred Science’ to denote the vast corpus of knowledge ubiquitously referred to currently as ‘African Spirituality’.
This is one lecture that takes you to the Cosmos and back into the very molecular structure of your own body, a truly quantum introduction to the Cosmological worldview.
