      Also the indians' and their contribution in the world have been underrated especially in ancient and middle ages later scholarly works declined during 750 years of foreign occupation(Turks, mughal, then british) time but still happy that some people are spreading the word now
      Some of the Contributions of india to the world-
      Mathematics, Astrology, Ayurveda, Yoga, Zero, Toilet( atleast 2500 BCE), Chess, Shampoo, Wireless Communication, Buttons, Cure of leprosy and lithiasis, Cataract surgery and cosmetic surgery (2000 BCE), Natural fibres that are used in clothes(since 5th millennium BCE) , Ink, Fiber optics, Heena, apart from these USB and Intel Chip were also invented under indians. I know other countries have also made a lot of contribution to world but just wanted to let people know about a country what some arrogant people in West termed at times as tribal, uncivilized land...So this is a tight slap on their face.
      Sorry if someone is hurt but that is fact west has demeaned indian culture a lot without trying to understand except few unbiased indologists and orientalists.

      @@gyanprakashrai9412 Indians have contributed way too much, but as told in the video, Arabs liked to tell that it was their discovery instead that of Indians. This tells a lot about how Arabs and the outside forces were in the Middle Ages and before that. They only wanted their own fulfilment and the idea that someone would do such a thing is absolutely disgusting and heart-wrenching…

    Also, Pythagoras didn’t discover that root 2 was irrational, but someone within the cult of Pythagoras did. As the story goes, Pythagorean principles centered around the belief that the world could be perfectly expressed through numbers and ratios, however a simple mathematical proof was discovered that contradicted that belief. It is also rumored that the man who discovered this was murdered by the cult of Pythagoras either to cover it up or for blasphemy as mathematics at the time was treated basically religiously.

    • @baltofarlander2618
      @baltofarlander2618 2 роки тому +154

      I know different version of the story, slightly more "justified" - irrationality of sqrt(2) was kept as a secret in Pythagorean cult as it was hard to deal with that fact according to their beliefs, and someone blurted it out, so he got executed by them for telling secrets to outsiders rather than heresy.

    • @brutusthebear9050
      @brutusthebear9050 2 роки тому +50

      It wasn't treated religiously. It was the religion of Croton during that time. It was inspirational to Plato, in helping develop his world of Forms. You see, the Pythagoreans believed that math was the fundamental building block of everything, and that math existed in a pure form. Plato took this and ran with it.
      Thank math that Aristotle came around to set things straight. Good thing nothing will happen to all the work he's done. No one will willingly choose to believe in Platonic ideals when reality is so important, right? Aristotle isn't gonna be lost in the West for over 1000 years, right?

Frost) with my high school orchestra classmates just a week ago from the time of typing (12/16/2022).
    Nonetheless, if I hadn't known the name of the background music, it would've been nice if the description had a "music used" list; frankly, I feel that plenty of other YT channels should adopt this same practice.

    Today I learned that Pythagoras was an absolute madman. He was crazy, or at least by today's standards. He constantly claimed to be Hermes' son and that his father gives him the ability to see all of his past lives. He also drowned one or more students for weird mathematical discoveries, like the existence of irrational numbers. He considered it punishment from the gods.

      The infinite series for pi is mostly today known as Leibniz formula for π. But many few people know that this series was already discovered in India by Madhava (c. 1340-1425 AD) of Sangamagrama, 300 years before Leibniz or Gregory.

Had Arabs just kept the Arabic numerals both English and Arabic would have the same numbers and hindi would have something else. Teaching Indians these new numerals was a mistake by the Arabs, because now they lose all credit. These numbers have been engraved in stone long before they taught them to other groups.

      Elementary theorems of mathematics spanned throughout the ancient world, but were mostly stated without proof. The Greeks were the first to prove those same theorems because Ancient Greeks loved debates; as such Greek mathematicians made use of the elenctic method to give mathematics a rigorous and unassailable foundation. The axiomatic deductive system that we know today evolved from the Greeks. No other civilisation had come up with it because they were more conservative and reverent than the Greeks; stage debates were a foreign thing to them, especially in China.
      The theorem is known today as the Pythagorean theorem because the Pythagoreans were the first to prove it.
