Who is Sheikh Baha'i, and is it really to him that we should attribute understanding of gravity?
This documentary speaks of the great scholar, poet, philosopher, architect and mathematician, who lived and made his discoveries in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, during the Safavid era in Iran.
With his father as his first teacher, Sheikh Baha'i became a true scientist and scholar. He wrote poems, books and articles, his work includes more than 100 texts on philosophy, logic, astronomy, and mathematics. There’s no doubt he was truly ahead of his time. Apart from theories about gravity, the fact that he discussed binary numbers, which are critical in modern computing, should say something… Shouldn’t it?
