In his extraordinary and rigorous approach in this study, Robert L. Powell, Sr. focused on accessing the ancient canons of geometric principles as well as immersing himself in mathematic and scientific theories and applications found throughout the centuries and up to our modern era. With these elements gestating within him, Robert L. Powell, Sr.-who was already steeped in mathematics, physics, holography and other scientific disciplines- investigated for decades how to canonically bring forth a contemporary method of inquiry as well as a tool of precise mathematical "languaging" for the numbers of Nature. He would often lament that at the turn of the century-meaning at the beginning of the 20th century-an international consortium of professional mathematicians created what he referred to as "a gated community" by formally excluding the body of square root numbers as those numbers that were "irrational" and "did not have proper addresses" on the number line. Perhaps it took Robert L. Powell, Sr. being highly perspicacious and a person of color-and his team-to see through the folly of that and to eventually and ingeniously determine that with "the rest of Euclid" one could reclaim those irrational numbers and find their addresses by way of THE NUMBER PLANE! Throughout these investigations, Robert L. Powell, Sr. unceasingly attempted to encourage his scientific colleagues-in physics, biochemistry, biology, mathematics, etc.-to understand that these irrational, square root numbers ARE the NUMBERS OF NATURE-that they ARE KEY for understanding and interpreting our world throughout the physical and subtle spectrums-from the micro to the macro. Instead of computing rows and rows of calculations lined up after the proverbial "decimal point"-he insisted that the elegance and precision of the square root numbers reveal a deeper level of structure and of resolution. He completed this manuscript in 2004 and shared it widely with colleagues.
Über die Autorinnen und Autoren
Robert Lee Powell, Sr, Inventor, Mathematician and Physicist Born: Kerns, Texas of African American and Native American heritage. Education: Fisk University, Nashville, TN Degree: B.S. & M.S., Physics Co-inventor of the Holographic Non-Destructive Testing Method; A veteran teacher at Fisk University, Nashville, TN; Lowell Technical Institute, Lowell, MA; Oakland University, Rochester, MI, and Texas Southern University, Houston, TX, and has worked for a variety of corporations. This veteran physics professor is the co-inventor of the esoteric field of work-Holographic Non-Destructive Testing, which is arguably the most beautiful and appropriate engineering and technological use of the hologram making process so far discovered. His knowledge and expertise also extend to some of the traditions of African art in the application of mathematical ratios and principles of Euclidean Geometry. His knowledge and lectures on the subject have influenced and changed the lives of many artists including the late Dr. John Thomas Biggers, and aspiring artists in colleges and universities in the U.S. and around the world. In his 1997 visual mathematics installation "In This House," a part of the Project Row Houses in Houston Texas, he delivered a multi-level system of ancient mathematical teachings from a diverse mixture of sub-cultures. His cutting-edge mathematics uses the rules and tools of Euclid, and the geometrical roots of a quadrivium: Sacred art, Sacred architecture, Modernity's physics, and Modernity's biology.
Vandorn Hinnant's art career spans a period of fifty years. His 1980 inclusion in the North Carolina Museum of Art group exhibition "Afro American Artists: NC, USA" was sufficient impetus for him to dedicate his life to creating imagery for the edification of the human mind/spirit. He studied Art Design at NC A&T State University and studied sculpture at University of North Carolina-Greensboro. Today, the artist spends most of his time working on sculpture commissions and creating sculptural forms that continuously unfold inside of his expansive imagination. Most of Hinnant's career has been spent creating works that are organized into the following series: Organic Abstractions, The Portal Series, Geometric Abstractions, The Totemic Sculpture Series, and the MetaPhysical Geometries Series. His works of art are in numerous corporate collections and in a great many private collections across North America. Some works are also in Africa and in Europe. http: //vandornhinnant.com http: //lightweavings.com
Robert L. Powell, Jr. served as an Associate Professor at NC A&T State University in the Civil, Architectural and Environment Engineering Department, Greensboro, North Carolina focusing on Building Design, Building Metrics, Community-Based Design and Sustainable Development. He also has been responsible for design and project management for various architectural projects. His undergraduate degree is in Architectural Engineering from Stanford University, and he received a Master of Architecture (M. Arch.) degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
