Pythagoras
The name Pythagoras is synonymous with his theorem but there are various facets of this great mathematician that few people are aware of. This video is an attempt to bring to light some of the lesser known facts.
Pythagoras was born in Samos and from a very young age he had a passion of gaining knowledge which took him to distant places. His interests were varied and math was just one of them. He was a philosopher of repute and even founded a religion named after him Pythagoreanism.
According to him numbers were the elements behind the whole universe and his followers who were many also felt the same. To them numbers were akin to God. Pythagoras even felt that some people were not good enough to be told about the secret powers of the numbers. For example the numbers 7, 8 and 10 represented wisdom, justice and sanctity. Whenever they solved a theorem they would sacrifice an ox as a gift to God. This kind of belief frightened people and they even chased him out of the town he lived burnt his house etc.
They worshipped the number 10 as sacred and they had a triangular arrangement which they called the Tetracyts. This was supposed to symbolize the arrangement of the space and universe. Ten according to them was the number of the highest order and they believed it contained the course of all mortal things. Hence it was a number to be worshipped.
We now give you the prayer they said to number 10. “Bless us, divine number, thou who generated gods and men!” they would say. “For the divine number begins with the profound, pure unity until it comes to the holy four; then it begets the mother of all, the all-comprising, all-bounding, the firstborn, the never-swerving, the never-tiring holy ten, the keyholder of all.”
His followers gave him the status of a demi God and would swear by whatever he said. They even had hymns to sing his praise. They also believed he had supernatural powers and was born with a golden thigh which ensured this.
He also said he would be reborn and in fact said he had power to recognize people from other births.
He was the first vegetarian and he preached that eating anything dead polluted the bodies. His rules were strange as he sacrificed oxen for the sacred numbers.
He expected his followers to follow strict rules for everything they did. Many of his rules were weird but they still followed it. From all this it is clear that Pythagoras was as complex as the theorems he professed. #theopenbook #Education #Educationalvideos #Studyiq #learn #Cbse #icse #ssc #generalknowledge
