One of the first men attempting to accurately calculate PI was the well-known mathematician, engineer and inventor Archimedes (287-212 BC). Not much is known about his life. He is estimated to have been born in Syracuse, Sicily (Greece colony at the time of his birth). Ancient historians record that he lived in for 75 years and was buried in his hometown. Cicero, a famous Roman orator, reportedly visited the tomb of Archimedes while serving as Quaestor in Sicily.
Archimedes's written works did not go well. Most of his works are known only by quotations in the writings of other scientists and historians. Some copies of his incredible works were made by an unnamed scribe who lives in 10th century advertising.
About 200 years later, the Christian scribe unleashed the expensive and rare Veram manuscript, scraped off the text, washed away the remaining original ink, folded pages of parchment in half, and wrote a 177-page liturgy book that once contained copied texts by Archimedes.
After the original parchment was subjected to this type of careful scraping, washing and copying, it is known as the “Parimupsest.”
This irreplaceable transcription of one work by an outstanding scholar and thinker of the ancient world, known in history as the Archimedes Palimpsest, remained hidden for centuries until in the 1840s a biblical scholar named Constantine Sindorf discovered that Greek mathematical attention was still revealed to several pages of prayer. In 1906, Johann Heiberg realized by examining the books that barely readable texts were from the undiscovered book of the great Archimedes.
Today, this PI Day, we should consider Archimedes and Palimpsest, made with his work.
Americans also do valuable work written on parchment hundreds of years ago. The ink of that precious document is figuratively shattered, washed and written by designing lawmakers and presidents who take into account modern, valueless clauses, deliberate the original charter, and consider the understanding and desire of the people of the fathers of the noble founder who ordained the ordained, and their own understanding and desires.
Through the passage of unconstitutional law; false and unsupporting interpretations of commercial transaction clauses, general welfare clauses, necessary and appropriate clauses, etc., become a liturgical book filled with statistical statistics, by the branches of legislation, enforcement and judicial erasure.
Many of these late-day scribes, busy rubbing, washing and writing in the constitution, argue that while their founders did enough work to establish a government for 18th century America, they were unable to anticipate the specific challenges faced by these modern times and heirs. On top of that, they ridicule constitutionalists and accus them of respecting the constitution for reasons other than because it is old and they don't like change.
These takeovers are wrong at each of these points. The dedication presented by constitutionalists in American founding documents is not an old-fashioned matter. In other words, they do not respect the constitution because it is old. The government principles set out there are timeless and are not subject to the changing winds of political “progress,” so they respect it.
Furthermore, constitutionalists do not argue that elected representatives and presidents strictly demanded the founding documents for their age. In fact, they do not even assert such loyal observance because of the righteous respect and respect for the men who wrote and ratified the constitution.
They support constitutional principles and keep representatives at that standard. Because it includes the best and most functional schemes of the Republican government, devised by humanity. That old parchment writes about some of the greatest, most surprising, unrefuted elements of autonomy ever written.
This document contains some of the most ornate and most enduring elements of the doctrine of natural law that has been distilled by a viable and free government to date. James Madison and his companions have made their wisdom and learning law from the fountain of ancient and modern political wisdom, and through the ink of the constitution. The most persuasive testimony of its timeless nature is that Americans still live under protected freedoms.
May Americans continue to do so for another 236 years. May they learn from the example of Archimedes, vigilantly protect the old parchment known as the Constitution, and protect it from the day known in history books as the American palimpus plague.
