A 15-25 minute exploration into how ancient navigators used fixed points (the North Star) and the repeating patterns of the universe (microcosms, macrocosms, and symmetry) to navigate without modern technology.
Explores Pythagoras' discovery of the mathematical foundations of music and how he extended this 'harmonic logic' to explain the order of the universe and the 'Music of the Spheres'.
Investigates the "Longitude Problem" and the scientific race to build the first accurate marine chronometers, focusing on the physics of oscillation, friction, and the relationship between time and space.
A 15-30 minute exploration of how ancient Phoenicians used the macrocosm of the stars to navigate the microcosm of their ships, featuring the root words micro/macro/cosmos and the mathematics of rotational symmetry.
