Race · computing · 20 rediscovery findings · Swiss-Ephemeris-anchored
Twenty computing + mathematics rediscoveries spanning Babylonian sexagesimal base-60 (still used today for time + angles) to Pingala binary (Leibniz rediscovered 1,900 years later) to Madhava infinite series (Newton rediscovered 290 years later) to Antikythera mechanism (mechanical computing anticipated by 2,156 years). ~$200B annual global computing R&D. The conventional industry took on average 1,869 years to confirm what traditional knowledge documented.
